Matthew McLean

Podcaster & Audio Drama Creator

Matthew is a writer and audio producer who enjoys talking about podcasting and storytelling. He has over 13 years experience creating complex-sounding but utterly puerile audio drama shows. A degree in Creative Sound Production was obtained somewhere along the way, too. He's also a loyal servant of adopted house rabbits, and dad to a wee girl.
