Hosted by Matt and Gillian, this podcast is like sitting down with two close friends as they share their love for all things cozy with the world. The topics discussed range from cozy music and candles to recipes, activities, decor, and more. What sets this podcast apart is the genuine friendship between Matt and Gillian, which shines through in every episode.

As we head into fall, this podcast becomes even more comforting, providing great ideas for making the most of the fall and winter seasons.

    One of the best aspects of The All Things Cozy podcast is the cozy friendship between Matt and Gillian.

Additionally, their DIY projects and recommendations provide practical ideas for incorporating coziness into everyday life. Whether it's through music, candles, recipes, or activities, listeners can find inspiration to make their own lives cozier.

    While The All Things Cozy podcast has many strengths, there are some episodes with guest appearances that may not appeal to everyone. Some listeners have found the audio quality in those episodes to be subpar, which detracts from the overall cozy experience. Additionally, not all guests have resonated with every listener, with some finding certain guests annoying or disruptive to the intimate coziness created by Matt and Gillian alone.
