The Young Matt Show

Note: This interview was recorded in July 2021 (a month prior to release)

That’s it, episode 61 ( Produced by Francesca Georgia Pietkiewicz)

The final episode of the Young Matt show.

What started as me taking the piss out of a certain political youth wing allowed me to meet some of the biggest legends ever & have conversations I’d never dreamt of. 

Had to finish it the same way we started, big S/o to Chlöe.

It’s been a great time, there are endless people to thank and I’m stoked as with the last 2 years. 

Special thanks to Jamie Hall for producing a huge chunk of the episodes. 

Signing out,

Young Matt
