Matt Edmondson

Fearne Cotton
About this episode

Reflecting on experiences from childhood can help us understand who we are today. Radio 1 presenter Matt Edmondson has been learning music production – an entirely new skill for him – and has been using it to explore feelings about his past.


In this chat with Fearne, he opens up about being diagnosed with cyclothymia and how this new knowledge of his moods has changed his life for the better, and how he’s learnt to control his flow states, rather than them controlling him.


Matt’s podcast, Not Another Love Song, is available to listen to on all podcast platforms.


CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains frank conversation about suicide and alcoholism, so do take care while listening.
