Remember when Christopher Sabec name dropped Matthew Spaid in his episode?



Well we have Matthew on today to tell us all that he remembers (well some of it, because I'm sure this could have been a much longer episode if it were all of it) about his time with the band, beginning from 1997.



And what does Matt do now? You can find out more below!



In 2003, Matt Spaid's career took a significant turn, transitioning from web development to oral care product development.

He specializes in developing oral care products, including toothpaste, mouthwash, and teeth whitening products, for prominent global brands like Smile Direct Club and HiSmile among many others.

Following a decade in Amsterdam, he relocated to rural Arizona in 2021 with his husband, a doctor currently completing his Internal Medicine residency.

Matt now resides on a small farm and runs a consulting company, Quia Group (pronounced 'K-WA'). He also established Quia Farms, a brand for selling farm products like eggs, produce, and his uniquely crafted toothpaste.

If you want to explore and purchase his artisan toothpaste and other products visit quiafarms.com (spelled q-u-i-a farms.com). He's offering a 25% discount for Hanson Hour listeners on their orders if you use the coupon code  'HANSONHOUR'.  

Well the MON era has been a ride. And to be honest I feel like I could have stayed here for a little while longer.



In this episode I welcome past guests Katie from Hansonstage and Chris from MMMBOPtastic back to discuss the first 4 episodes in a little more detail.



Enjoy!

What would you do when a 7, 11 and 13 year old came up to you during lunch and asked to sing for you? If you're Christopher Sabec, you drop everything, and spend a good few years turning that encounter into a household name.

In this weeks episode we spend some time hearing about Christopher's role with the band and what that was like in the Middle of Nowhere era.

This episode wraps up the guests for this era, with up-coming episodes focused on the era "wrap up"



Enjoy

What a pleasure to sit down and chat with the effervescent Tamra Davis. Tamra was the director of the MMMBop and Where's the Love video clips.

Ms Barrymore received a Golden Globe Nomination.
