Matt & Pete Check in
Peter “Danish Pete” Honoré and Matt Gleeson from Monty’s Guitars sit down for honest conversations about music, guitars, creativity, mental health and modern life. No scripts.

If these conversations help even one person feel less alone, then the podcast has done its job.
Listen on:
Welcome to the Check In
Two friends talking honestly about life, guitars, music, mental health, creativity, burnout, family, anxiety, work, purpose, and everything in between.
This podcast started from a simple feeling:
people, especially men, don’t talk enough, not properly.
So this is our attempt to change that, even in a small way.
Hosted by "Danish" Pete Honoré and Matt Gleeson from Monty’s Guitars, these conversations aren’t about pretending to have the answers. Half the time we’re figuring things out as we go.
Some episodes are funny.
Some get uncomfortable.
Some go deep into music, gear and creativity.
Others drift into mental health, relationships, identity, anxiety, and trying to stay afloat in modern life.
This isn’t about being experts.
It’s about being honest.
Whether thousands of people listen or just one person connects with it, that’s enough.
Because if a conversation helps someone feel a little less alone, then it mattered.
