Matt Collins Gets A Taste Of His Own Medicine

I interrupt my regularly scheduled programming to fulfill Amrita Sethi’s request that I take a turn in the hot seat and sit for an interview on my own podcast. This episode is all about your humble host.

In describing this episode’s guest, I’m tempted to borrow a version of Mad magazine’s self-effacing claim that it is suitable for wrapping fish. But that would be a disservice to the episode’s guest host, Howard Chung. Thank you, Howard, for stepping in and making it look easy.

The portfolio of classic video game brands I once managed

The Amherst classmate I want to hear from next

If you’d like to get in touch with me, you can find me on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattcollins1/) or email me at amherstmatt@gmail.com.
