About your guest:

For the last decade, Matt has worked with over 100 schools and universities a year, presenting his unique science magic (when it’s not a global pandemic year). 

He previously conducted atomic physics research at Durham University before working within the Education department at Thinktank Science Museum, Birmingham. Alongside this, he has spent the last 20 years working as a magician and is an Associate of the Inner Magic Circle - one of only 300 people in the world to hold this distinction. 

In 2020 he won second place in the international Best Illusion of the Year Contest. He runs the www.wordsonwonder.com project which features a host of interviews with scientists, magicians, philosophers, explorers, and artists, to find out what really makes them curious.

About your host:

After years of suffering with crippling communication anxiety, Simon Day was left with two choices: spend his whole life hiding in the shadows and risk losing everything, or find his voice.

Through a painful yet empowering journey of discovery, Simon has transformed from terrified teenager to UK award-winning speaker and communications coach. He now employs his communication skills as a leader in education and works under his self-built brand, Speak With Simon, to coach others seeking to lose their fear, find their voice and speak with greater power.
