Kingsize

Matt and Simon nervously stick their thumbs out on the dark highway and hitch a ride into one of King's classic campfire stories . They discover risk, regret and deals with the devil along the way. They look at what became the world's first mass published e book , and put it in the ring with the "portable magic" of the paperback. Fancy a ride ? 

Ever wondered why Tony Soprano’s therapist stuck with him? Why Fleabag is obsessed with sex or why Walter White is always in his underpants? This week Matt meets psychotherapist Sasha Bates, the co host of new podcast "Shrink The Box', where  fictional characters such as Shiv from Succession, Omar from the Wire and Ross from Friends are put on the couch to analyse why their behaviour causes them so much drama.

We talk therapy, mental health, box sets and much more !

There's even a Sean Penn in a lift anecdote. Happy New Year x
