I agree with that assessment of yours @Arizona - I didn't think MoM would be as good after Matty left, and (IMO) Trav & JD did struggle a bit after that for a few weeks, but, yeah, they're hitting their stride now. I don't like every pod, like the ones with the animated shrubs, clouds or koalas - those anonymous X users - are mostly rubbish IMO, but there are a few real gems, especially when the lads talk to real people in their studio, like that one with Hedley Widdup. Great pacing, and when a guest is making as much sense as Hedley was, best not to interrupt that flow. Just providing a few prompts now and then for further discussion seems to work fine.
Turns out Hedley squeezed the MoM discussion in between an AGM and a planned lunch (he didn't say who with), and he caught a plane back from Perth to Melbourne after that, so he was looking at his watch because of that lunch he needed to get to, not because of the plane, but glad he managed to do the MoM thing even though he didn't have much time.
