If you’ve listened to LMM from the beginning, you’re going to hear a familiar voice today. If you’ve never heard our early episodes, the voice is going to become familiar.  Matt was the original co-host of LMM and was there for about the first 250 episodes of the show. He and Andrew disagreed about the direction of the show, and after a frustrating recording session, things blew up, and Matt left. But like Liz Taylor and Richard Burton, Andrew and Matt just can’t stay apart. Full Article Here Show Notes So we begin a new chapter at LMM. We will miss Thomas, but this won't be the last you hear from him. If you haven't already, check out his College Info Geek podcast and tune in to future episodes because he'll come back from time to time.
