GBA 300 Matt

Published: June 21, 2017, 9:30 a.m.

b"To celebrate the 300th episode of GBA I'm putting out a season of 3 special episodes, which continues with today's conversation. In many ways this feels like a regular GBA episode and is a good example for new listeners of what the show is usually like. It's also a conversation with someone who it's taken 299 episodes to persuade to come on as a guest.\\n\\nPart of the motivation for that is encourage people to donate to Refuaid which you can do here:\\nhttp://stories.co.uk/\\nhttps://mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/sparkrefuaid\\n\\nIn GBA 300 we get better acquainted with Matt. We talk about forming a theatre company together as students, 16 years of friendship, the different collaborations we have had over the years, who is actually the hardest working person in UK podcasting, the different interests and experiences that have led to him becoming a major force in British podcasting and how experiencing and healing from a spinal injury caused by a carcrash has influenced his outlook on the world. This episode also features a cameo from previous guest (and Matt's wife) Louise and contains the moment I met their child for the first time!\\n\\nHe doesn't plug anything but you can find out about all the things he does via his website: https://rethinkaudio.wordpress.com/\\n\\nI plug:\\n\\nDonating to GBA: http://bit.ly/2szNgUN\\nThe Family Tree: http://thefamilytreepodcast.co.uk/\\nFreelance Stuff: http://www.davepickeringstoryteller.co.uk\\nMansplaining masculinit: http://www.mansplainingmasculinity.co.uk/\\n\\nWe mention:\\n\\nLancaster University: http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/\\nJen: https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/sets/the-jen-episodes\\nZoe: https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/sets/the-zoe-and-gay-episodes\\nRichard: https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/sets/the-richard-episodes\\nPink Floyd: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Floyd\\nIraq War: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_War\\nAgitprop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agitprop\\nProscenium Arch: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proscenium_arch\\nGed: https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/gba-31-ged\\nRingworm: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringworm\\nHelen Zaltzman: https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/gba-live-9-helen-zaltzman\\nhttp://helenzaltzman.com/\\nMatt's true story at Spark London: http://stories.co.uk/podcasts/anatomy-of-a-road-traffic-accident-matt-hill-2/\\nRethink Daily: http://archive.rethinkdaily.co.uk/\\nNew York Times Daily: https://www.nytimes.com/podcasts/the-daily\\nRadio 4: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4\\nKerrie: https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/gba-14-kerrie\\nFour Thought: Liberating Men: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07x5vsh\\nLouise: https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/sets/the-louise-episodes-1/\\nSouth Park: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Park\\nCbeebies: http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies\\nMinistry of Stories: http://ministryofstories.org/\\nPrivate Eye Podcast: http://www.private-eye.co.uk/eyeplayer/podcast\\nBAFTA: http://guru.bafta.org/series/the-guru-podcast\\nSachsgate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Russell_Brand_Show_prank_telephone_calls_row\\nBritish Podcast Awards: https://www.britishpodcastawards.com/\\nSony Radio Awards: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Academy_Awards\\nPete Price: http://ppmtelevision.com/\\nCrystal Maze: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crystal_Maze\\nKnightmare: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knightmare\\nMicheal Fenton Stevens: https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/sets/the-michael-fenton-stevens\\nHackney Hear: http://www.hackneyhear.com/\\nSoho Stories: https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2015/may/17/london-soho-stories-sex-drugs-rock-and-roll\\nAdam Curtis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Curtis\\nSpark London: http://stories.co.uk/\\n\\nHelp more people get better acquainted.
