    Expat’s Dream
    I recently (Sept. 2020) moved to California from Carrickfergus and after spending all day surrounded by Americans I love listening in and hearing about home and hearing the good Norn Iron accent.

    Episode 60. The Heroes Journey
    Great to hear the ‘heroes journey’ from a Northern Ireland mindset and accent. Thanks Aidan Malone, for the recommendation. Karen:-) Ps. It helped me understand what the ‘cave’ bit is all about.

    Brings Belfast to life!
    My boyfriend and I first came across Matthews show after we visited Belfast in 2016. We have since listened to all his episodes, and even met up with Matthew recently on our latest Belfast adventure! I love that Matthew is breaking down the stigmas that still try to hang on to Belfast, and instead focuses on the cities talents and resilient people. I have learned so much about the city through his show, keep up the good work! Sean and I can’t wait to be Belfast’s LA transplants.

    While searching for a show with folk having a proper chat (research for voicing a character for Dungeons and Dragons, gnome bard, plays the fiddle) I found this one and it was just what I needed, but then found the content to be a greater find. Wonderful interviews with fascinating people. Thanks so much for your splendid podcast. Subscribed and listening in earnest. Jim - USA
