Matt thinks he’s the most important person in the world and will block anyone with a different view than his own. Rude, arrogant and self-absorbed.
Wish he'd work on improving quality of the sound

I like Matt and KSR and he's a great interviewer and a sharp guy but sometimes poor sound makes the podcast tough to listen to. The relaunch of the podcast has been uniformly great interviews. Great job Matt.
