  1. Skye McAlpine on Hosting, Christmas & the Myth of Perfection at Home

    Skye McAlpine on Hosting, Christmas & the Myth of Perfection at Home

    For a special Christmas episode of Homing, I was invited into the home of cookery writer and ultimate host, Skye McAlpine. Skye is like a modern-day “Mother Christmas”. She was raised between London and Venice by parents who were great bon viveurs, and her childhood home was an open house, filled with guests, conversation and celebration. It’s there that she absorbed the idea that a home is meant for sharing – a philosophy she has carried into both her life and her work. If you follow Skye online, you’ll see that her kitchen is at the heart of everything she does; a space to cook and gather those she loves around one long table. For Skye, hosting is an expression of love, and choosing a favourite event is, in her words, “like choosing a favourite child”. The glamorous version of her life is only one side of the story. Skye also shows me the unseen, everyday moments of life at home. During our tour, she laughs about the dust that gathers on every surface, which makes her cough. We talk about insomnia, doomscrolling, introversion, and the importance of not letting the pressure to appear perfect stop you from putting yourself out there. This is an episode about place, belonging, childhood, and what it really means to make people feel at home. So before your Christmas dinners, I hope you give this episode a listen and absorb Skye’s wisdom for creating a table full of love. This episode was filmed in person at Skye’s London Victorian townhouse. – Matt To hear more from us: YouTube: Subscribe to our channel, Homing with Matt, to watch the video version Instagram: @homingwithmatt TikTok: @homing.with.matt Contact: Email us at hello@mattgibberd.com Matt Gibberd’s book, A Modern Way to Live, is available here: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/320176/a-modern-way-to-live-by-gibberd-matt/9780241480496 Music by @simeonwalkermusic Identity & design by @lena.winkler.creative.office  Produced by @podshoponline The full visualised home tour is available to our Patreon community.

  2. Max Rollitt on Interior Decorating, Sentimentality & the Home as Autobiography

    27/11/2025

    Max Rollitt on Interior Decorating, Sentimentality & the Home as Autobiography

    Max Rollitt is a highly respected interior decorator and antiques dealer. Extraordinary pieces pass through his hands every day, yet most of the objects he chooses to live with at home have little monetary value. Instead, they are tokens of respect and love. The conversation begins with Max’s childhood in Winchester, where he struggled at school because he processed information in images – something we’d now recognise as dyslexia. It’s this visual approach that is the foundation for a ‘Max Rollitt’ interior: decorating a home the way an artist composes a painting. Nowhere is that sensibility clearer than in his family farmhouse in the South Downs. Every piece of furniture and object has a story to tell: artworks from his sons, photographs of his wife, and handmade gifts from his mentors. During our private home tour, some of these objects even moved Max to tears.  We also talk about how to create a nurturing environment for creative children, the grounding effect of rural life and finding personal fulfilment through spirituality. This episode is about how the objects we surround ourselves with are more than aesthetic items – they are containers for people and experiences. This episode was recorded in person at Max’s farmhouse in the South Downs. – Matt An extended version of the tour is available to our Patreon community.

  3. Polly Morgan on Taxidermy, Family & Letting Things Go

    13/11/2025

    Polly Morgan on Taxidermy, Family & Letting Things Go

    Much like her taxidermy-based sculptures, Polly Morgan is an artist who delights in looking beneath the surface.  Her home in Camberwell is deliberately minimalist - a space viewers may recognise from Netflix’s Baby Reindeer. As she prepares to move out after 13 years, with most of her possessions already shipped off to the countryside, she reflects on the highs and lows of her time there.  Growing up in the Cotswolds, Polly’s childhood was characterised by watching animals die and by seeing her father dissect bodies to understand anatomy. Those early experiences formed her way of seeing, not as something morbid, but as a curiosity about life and its endings. Entirely self-taught, Polly has always worked slightly outside of artistic convention. She speaks about wanting to notice what most people overlook, to find the parts of things that are usually hidden. It’s with this same outlook that she talks about the loss of her sister and mother, and the decision to say goodbye to her city life as she prepares to return to the countryside. This is a conversation about artistic process, growing older, family, and learning what to hold on to and what to let go of. This episode was recorded in person at Polly’s home in Camberwell.

  4. Chris Packham on Neurodiversity, Safe Spaces & Finding Solace in Nature

    Chris Packham on Neurodiversity, Safe Spaces & Finding Solace in Nature

    Chris Packham has always fascinated me. As a broadcaster, naturalist, and conservationist, he’s helped millions connect with wildlife and the natural world through shows like BBC’s Springwatch – but sitting down with him in his home, I realised how much of his story is about creating refuge, both at home and within himself. In this deeply personal conversation, Chris speaks candidly about his childhood in Southampton, being diagnosed with autism in his forties, and how he has designed a home that helps him manage sensory sensitivities – ironically filled with furniture and artwork that is deliberately uncomfortable. He reflects on solitude versus loneliness and how nature provides safety, structure and healing when the human world feels overwhelming. It’s a conversation about finding comfort in discomfort, about refuge and resilience, and, above all, about what it means to feel at home in the world. It’s also one of the most memorable episodes I’ve ever recorded.  This episode was recorded in person at Chris' home in the New Forest.

  6. Bethan Laura Wood: the multidisciplinary designer on the need to make and create

    Bethan Laura Wood: the multidisciplinary designer on the need to make and create

    Bethan designs everything from furniture to lighting and textiles, and some of her work is currently on display at the Design Museum in London.     She presents herself to the world like a human peacock. She dyes her hair different colours, wears layers of vivid clothing, and puts dots on her cheeks.     Her flat in east London isn’t exactly demure either. We recorded this podcast in the company of various hats and handbags, a jar of balloons in liquid, and a lamp shaped like a jellyfish.     In this conversation, we dig into the differences between collecting and hoarding. The objects Bethan lives with are like a cast of characters in a film. The way she arranges them isn’t just about what looks good together; she’s also thinking about the stories they tell.     Going back to her childhood, she tells me about dressing like “a 1950s cool dinner lady”, and how watching TV inspired her to apply for the Royal College of Art.     We talk about the impact of bullying, and how she’s been shaped by her dyslexia.   She’s a fascinating character, and I really enjoyed getting to know her better.     For more: PLATFORM: Bethan Laura Wood Subscribe to The Modern House newsletter for weekly interiors inspiration Pick up a copy of Matt Gibberd’s latest book, A Modern Way To Live Follow Matt Gibberd on Instagram Follow The Modern House Instagram Watch our Homing In films on YouTube Producer: Laconic Collective Graphic Design: Ben Tucker Music: Simeon Walker Hosted on Acast.

  7. Lakwena Maciver: the renowned artist on colour, creativity, criticism and connection

    Lakwena Maciver: the renowned artist on colour, creativity, criticism and connection

    Today's guest is the wonderful Lakwena Maciver. Lakwena is an artist whose work has exploded out of the Instagram generation. She uses bright colours and patterns inspired by her African heritage and bold written slogans. Given that her work is so positive and uplifting, I was really interested to find out that she's a natural pessimist with a very tough inner critic. So the words that appear in her art, which say things like 'Do Better' and 'Raise Your Hopes', are actually messages to herself. She kindly invited us to her house in east London to record this episode, and I really enjoyed finding out more about her home life. She reveals that she didn't really fit in anywhere as a child, so she was one of the only Black kids at her school and at home, she was an introvert in a household of extroverts, but she found drawing, which she describes as a process of empowerment. The act of putting pencil to paper helped her make sense of everything she was experiencing. We discussed a refurb she's done on her house, and how she's had to learn to compromise with her husband, especially when it comes to carpets. We talk about the importance of taking the time to reflect on your successes, why she'd secretly like to live in a hut in Uganda.

  8. Sir Christopher Le Brun: The leading painter on the homes that have shaped him

    Sir Christopher Le Brun: The leading painter on the homes that have shaped him

    Christopher was President of the Royal Academy for eight years and given a knighthood in 2021.    I first met him a few years ago, when The Modern House was selling his beautiful home in Camberwell. Shortly after that, he had a joint exhibition in Los Angeles with my wife, Faye Toogood, so I got to know him better during the week we were out there together.    This podcast gave me the chance to go a bit deeper, and I really enjoyed finding out more about his life.     Despite always finding himself in positions of authority, Christopher paints a picture of a naturally shy and introspective character.   He and his wife, Charlotte Verity, moved out to Somerset a couple of years ago, and we had a snoop around their studios before sitting down to record this podcast in their lovely Georgian farmhouse.    Christopher gives me a fascinating insight into what it's like to be a professional painter: from the importance of the space he's working in, to the rituals he goes through and what he's thinking about.    He tells me about what it's like to live with another artist – how they need to give each other space, and how they critique each other's work.    And we discuss the important houses in his life, notably the Victorian villa that he extended with the help of the architect Jamie Fobert.    I've got a huge amount of respect for Christopher, and I found this conversation so fascinating. I hope you enjoy it too.
