On the month that marks 41 years since we lost Matt, Michele and Richard discuss a range of subjects, from the new release of the enhanced Araneta Coliseum concert from 1966, through birthdays, including Rouelle Carino, the Water Rats, and singing in a foreign language. We also find out a little bit of what Richard is currently up to. 

Matt has his say, too

This month Richard and Michele speak to actor, singer and all-around Matt fan Sam Kane. As well as discussing Sams connections to Matt and Michele we discuss his career and the spookier side of things with Sams more recent encounters with Matt and Dean Martin. 

Back to one of our regular podcasts this month. Just Michele and Richard. 

Topics for discussion are Matt's Christmases and birthdays plus his love for golf - despite not being any good at it, Matt himself even joins in about that.

Another megasized podcast this month. This month, we welcome special guest Fill Henley from Wings of Pegasus, whose analysis video of Matt’s voice we’ve posted on our YouTube channel.   

We discuss Matt’s voice and influences, compare his voice with other singers, and look at a few clips of Matt’s voice. Matt also has his say.

We also look at Fil’s background and work.

This month in this extended edition, it's a chance for listeners to find out a bit more about Michele's co-host, his career and his work with the estate. How did he end up working for the estate and co-hosting this podcast? - Recorded with Richard sitting in a very squeaky chair.

Bobby Crush, who not only appeared with Matt but is a big fan, is back again for the second part of our conversation We discuss his career, parallels, and connections with Matt, as well as his memories of meeting the singer. Bobby had so many stories that we've had to split this interview into two episodes!

We had a few technical issues with Bobby's feed to us, so it's not quite up to the technical standard of our other podcasts, but Bobby is a great storyteller, so I'm sure you'll forgive us its shortcomings.
