Hello and welcome to Castival, hosted by Matt Hoss
This is the live podcast recording where we invite famous, legendary and hilarious guests to pitch their dream music festival. It is hosted by Matt Hoss: Stand-up comedian, twitch streamer and University of Kent alumni. In this show, we’ll talk about glamping, guitars and great music. So join us for an evening of wonderful chat and hypothetical mosh pits. Castival is all about hilarious chats, discussing why we are passionate about the things we like and of course, nerding out over music.
