It's album announcement day!

My second album is titled Family Plot and it will be released on all streaming platforms on Friday June 21, 2024.

Naturally, I decided to use my podcasting platform to help make the announcement. Episode 27 of The Matt Kollock Show is all about the upcoming album and all the excitement surrounding its release this June.

I discuss the album and its creation and prime the pump for even more album-related news to be revealed soon.

The show also features the lead single from Family Plot – “The Shame Shovel” – as the theme song. Nice! Although the album won't be available until June, you can listen to “The Shame Shovel” right now wherever you stream music.

Check out the episode and let me know what you think!

Episode 26 of The Matt Kollock Show is finally here!

In today's episode, Matt catches you up on just about everything that's been going on since you last heard from him. There's talk of therapy, roller skating, music production and much more.

Matt also discusses his spiritual awakening, the nine-year anniversary of which occurred on the date of the recording of this podcast. Good times.

I started this podcast in April of 2020. Damn!

The most recent episode was released in April 2023.

Now it's April of 2024 and I'm feeling that big energy again.

There is a lot to talk about, so I consulted my most recent blog post to help guide me through all the happenings.

Follow along as I guide you through the recent past and drop cryptic clues with regard to what's about to happen in the near future!

This is a new season of the podcast, so stay tuned. I will be focusing on having more conversations around music with some special guests, in addition to steering the podcast toward more discussions on topics like mental health, childhood trauma, CPTSD, family estrangement, therapy and stuff like that.

It's going to be great!

It's episode 25 of The Matt Kollock Show! 

A milestone episode, for sure. It took three years to get here. So, like, eight eps a year. Not bad! Not great, but also not bad! 

I launched the show back in April of 2020. Took a break and brought it back in January of 2021. Took all of 2022 off! It was unclear whether the show would return or not. But here we are. Feels like a groove. I'm going to keep it going. 

Today I brought my guitar to the show for a very special edition of the podcast. I realized it's been about five years since I started taking my music career seriously again. Five years since I started writing songs with such a serious career in mind. I wanted to use this episode of the podcast to explore the evolution of my songwriting since 2018, and I think I did a pretty good job. 

A lot has changed. Much has remained the same. I've grown. My songs are better. But my old songs are really good, too! I am confident. I have goals. There are challenges I want to face. Ideas and concepts to explore. 

I spend today's introduction catching you up on all the stuff, including news regarding cannabis consumption, psychedelics, skiing, exercise, The Artist's Way and more. 

And then I get into the songwriting talk. I think I got somewhere. I think I discovered some things. And revealed them.
