“Life in the Stocks is one of those brilliant podcasts that really lets the guests tell their stories in a way that totally flows.
The interviews with the big names like Andy Cairns from Therapy? and Tom Morrello from Rage Against The Machine were what drew me in but I’ve gone on to discover so...”Read full review »

“Matt is probably the most uniquely intimate interviewer doing the rounds today. Genuine human connection and honest, natural conversation is prioritised over trite questioning and meaningless promotional press chat. Consistently revealing and excellent, whoever the guest is.”

If not for Barry, from the Dubpistols ,faboulous tales, or the wonderful, Gail Porters honesty and infectious laugh. Its...”Read full review »

“This guy has fantastic guests, definitely recommend for music fans. The interviewer himself seems pretty fixated on “cancel culture” and “people being too sensitive nowadays” which gets old pretty quick. At one point in the JS interview he’s complaining about social media and he says something...”Read full review »

The ‘tape’ is always rolling, regardless of whether the interviewee is getting his name wrong, going for a slash or the fire alarm is going off. Anyone expecting a...”Read full review »
