Matt Dickinson, Political Science Professor at Middlebury College, joins Kurt & Anthony to discuss the up coming elections.

Matt Dickinson, Political Science Professor from Middlebury College, joins Kurt & Anthony to talk about the current political scene both nationally and locally.

As a writer for The Times, Matt Dickinson has been an original and trusted voice on the key sporting events and characters of the last 25 years. He came to prominence as the reporter behind the interview with then England manager Glenn Hoddle in which Hoddle's remarks on reincarnation ultimately led to his sacking. Matt recalls how being involved in such a high-profile story affected him, what it's like to watch sport for a living and picks out the most compelling sporting figure he ever came across. He remembers the drama in the Nou Camp in 1999 when he had to rewrite his story in a matter of minutes and explains how he's come to realise that his obsession with sport is actually less about the action on the pitch and more about a fascination with what makes extraordinary people tick. Which might explain why he's now moving into psychotherapy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Matt is currently senior sports writer at The Times and is the author of two books: ‘Bobby Moore – The Man in Full' and ‘Manchester United, The Treble and All That'. Matt has worked for The Times for 25 years but when he hit 45 years old, he realised that he had been living life at such a fast-pace in the proverbial rat race of London that in his words, he didn't have a clue who he was. So, he took stock, evaluated his life and now works part-time studying to become a therapist whilst still working part-time as a football journalist. In this episode we discuss how and why he got into the sports journalism industry, the previous drinking culture that existed in sports journalism and how that's changed and the competitive nature of the industry too. For Matt's mental health, we discuss the key moment in his life where he had a mental health epiphany and his therapy journey. We finish by talking about the sudden loss of a childhood friend of Matt's, the impact that had on his mental health and his attitude towards life from that point onwards.
