Spooning with Mark Wogan

Comedian and podcast host Matt Forde joins Spooning With Mark Wogan this week.

Matt opens up about his mum leaving the convent after fifteen years as a nun, to what faith and religion mean to him today. He reflects on building a hugely successful podcast empire, the resilience that carried him through his cancer battle and how those experiences reshaped his outlook on life. Plus, Mark attempts to change Matt’s mind on mushrooms and of course no conversation with Matt would be complete without him treating us to some of his razor-sharp political impressions.
