The Young Matt Show
The premise of this show and the vision of Young Matt is to produce unbiased and unconventional content to, bit by bit boost the Youth of Aotearoa New Zealand’s engagement with politics.
S3 Ep1: The final episode: Chlöe Swarbrick
Note: This interview was recorded in July 2021 (a month prior to release) That’s it, episode 61 ( Produced by Francesca Georgia Pietkiewicz) The final episode of the Young Matt show. What started as me taking the piss out of a certain political youth wing allowed me to meet some of the biggest legends ever & have conversations I’d never dreamt of.  Had to finish it the same way we started, big S/o to Chlöe. It’s been a great time, there are endless people to thank and I’m stoked as with the last 2 years.  Special thanks to Jamie Hall for producing a huge chunk of the episodes.  Signing out, Young Matt
