    02 | Poh Ling Yeow and the most eaten dish in the MasterChef kitchen

    Poh Ling Yeow is known for her smile and her artistic concentration — but if you want to make her lose her cool, just put capsicum in her Laksa. She dishes on her quest to re-brand the 'snot block'. Plus, Poh reveals to Matthew Hayden the most-eaten dish in the MasterChef kitchen... and it ain't Century Eggs!

    03 | Adam Goodes and the joy of cooking 'roo under the stars

    AFL great Adam Goodes has a weakness you may not know about...for double coat Tim Tams. Goodes talks to Matthew Hayden about feeding his sweet tooth before big games, the simple pleasure of eating with family since hanging up his boots and connecting to his ancestry through food.

    04 | Amy Shark on 'cheesecake crawls', steakhouses and a casual dinner with Nicole Kidman

    These days, six-time ARIA Award-winning musician Amy Shark sings duets with Keith Urban, and hangs out with movie stars at steakhouses in L.A. But you'd better believe this Gold Coast girl does not take the high life for granted. As she tells Matthew Hayden, sometimes the most gourmet thing in her pantry is tinned tuna.

    05 | Layne Beachley and Kirk Pengilly would rather be eating lobster in Tahiti

    Seven-time world surfing champ Layne Beachley and her rockstar INXS saxophonist beau Kirk Pengilly have some STORIES to tell Matthew Hayden about food. Both grew up on the water and then took vastly different paths in life and learning about food. Hear what Layne learned from bingeing junk food on the pro surf tour in the eighties, and about Kirk dining on the wildest cuisine in the world's poshest restaurants with INXS. They've come a long way from Vegemite sandwiches and cooking roasts in a car yard.

    06 | Wil Anderson is sorry for the thing he said

    06 | Wil Anderson is sorry for the thing he said

    Wil Anderson turns up to talk about food, but it's an apology Matthew Hayden is after. The comedian, Wilosophy podcaster and host of ABC TV’s Gruen says sorry for sledging Haydos 20 years ago. He also tells Haydos about the perils of trying to coin your own nickname — there's a good reason you're not calling this vegetarian 'Doughnuts' Anderson today.

Matt Hayden podcast? I’m in!

Loving this series, I’ve always been a massive Haydos fan and am loving being part of his world again. Great concept for a podcast, can’t wait to hear more!

Dull

Pleased to see a sportsman being sponsored to do a podcast, but his questions are shallow and insipid, his interviews could be so much deeper and more engaging. He sounds like he’s going through the motions of interviewing, without showing a lot of genuine curiosity about the actual interviewee. Be interesting to see a less famous, more curious person doing this interview as the topic is interesting. He just kills it with his lack of humour and potential intelligence. Sorry.

Great listen

Loved this. Working my way through the episodes. The Justin Langer episode is hilarious. Kirk and Layne - What a couple. Loved the Amy Shark episode too. Matt Hayden seems like such a nice bloke.
