  • Love it!

    Really love the freedom Matt gives to people so they can tell their stories, and he has thoughtful questions that add to the storytelling. Seems like guests are instructed to keep it moving - so many podcasts with guests, like Something Was Wrong, have such poor storytelling (saying the same thing over and over in different ways) that make it hard to listen to. The Private Record episodes are always a smooth and easy, but entertaining, listen! Really recommend.
