Back with a BANG!
Great to have you back, Matt! Some great interviews since you have returned!
Now into the CRAZY Election 24 challenge! Listened to the first episode yesterday and it was great! Looking forward to seeing you ‘get around’ all constituencies! Keep up the great work!

Great interview. We have, at last, a leader who will lead us to freedom!
Stephen Flynn
Really enjoyed, as always, this episode. So interesting to hear about Stephens life, he’s a brilliant role model. Glad you are back Matt, missed your interviews very much.
