The Two Matts

Hi Matts, please check your pronunciation of Kamala Harris, cheers!

I’d echo the comments of recent reviewers and add an additional comment as to just how smug Matt & Matt have become. This pains me as a previous subscriber to TNE and a loyal listener to the podcast in its previous incarnation under Steve Anglesey and prior to that, Richard Porritt. This has become the audio equivalent of listening to a couple of centrist-dad bores at the bar (and I’d describe myself as a centrist-dad!). Unsubscribed.

It’s such a shame I used to love this podcast but I find it unlistenable now. The two Matts are unrelentingly critical of the Labour government for whatever it does. They are caught in a binary between fawning client journalism and criticising for the sake of criticising. So opt for the latter to ensure journalistic interest. But there are plenty of journalists capable of following a middle path, but sadly not the two Matts.

Kamala absolutely destroyed Brett Baier on Fox. Her performance was excellent against extremely hostile questions. Trump said he wouldn’t be interviewed by Brett on FOX! Trump at a Townhall says “who wants to hear questions, let’s turn it into music” then proceeds on stage to sway for 39 mins to music while everyone looks on bemused or leaves. Tell your audience how it is!
