For the final episode in season one, Matt is joined by Sam Fender who needs little introduction but his career is really impressive so... He is a two-time brit award winner, two-time NME award winner, has had two UK number one albums, tours arenas now, headlines festivals and is best mates with Francis Bourgeois. Matt and Sam are joined by two grumpy swerns while they discuss who'd play him in a movie, arena tours, vocal issues, psychopaths, Roysters crisps, and Sam coins the phrase 'Nature's Heathrow' when describing the pond.
