The Two Matts Q&A: Are we journalists or activists?

About this episode

The Matts address various questions regarding their role as journalists or activists and discuss current events and cultural issues.

The Matts answer your questions in their regular Sunday Q&A show, including whether their mission to see Reform fail is blinding them to the full picture, how the war in Iran is going for Donald Trump, whether Scotland’s MSPs can hack it, whether we have a problem in discussing Muslim culture in the UK and if The Repair Shop was right to cancel Bob Monkhouse.
