“Not only does Matt Barr get hold of some of the most interesting voices in board sports - he also manages to turn every interview into deeply human, connected conversations.

“Matt has introduced me to some people I would never have thought of has being interesting as i am more surfing oriented but his style and obvious knowledge of each sport just draws you in.
Add to that the Type 2 shows and i always look forward to seeing a new edition land”

“Not sure about the long (occasionally 2 hour long), rambling, hyper indulgent intros, often supported by a “guest”. However, if you can persevere through these, the last 5-10 minutes of each episode usually absolutely bang. Once you hear, “thank f*** they’re gone”, you know things are about to...”Read full review »
