Über diesen Titel

Showing Promise is a general-discussion podcast "hosted" by me, Matt. I had the idea of making a podcast back in 2021, and in true perfectionist fashion, I kind of actually sort of started working on it in 2022. If you know me, you know I talk a lot, so this felt like a logical outlet for all those words.

Episodes often drift toward music (because I love it), but really, anything goes. I just enjoy talking to people. So, while there’s no set theme or schedule—to heck with the algorithm—you can expect frequent banter, colorful commentary, and the occasional crass detour. Sometimes it's me and friends, sometimes it's just me rambling like a caffeinated philosopher. I post episodes when they’re done. That’s it.

This podcast is made purely for the fun of it. If you're into conversational chaos with heart, give it a listen. Thanks for being here!

  • The Mighty Wine: Harvesting the Perfect Notes with Brook Munro
    Aug 10 2025

    In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Brook Munro. Brook and I met back in the early 00's, just as our local punk and hardcore scene was on the rise.

    Over the years, Brook has played in numerous bands, evolving as both a musician and a songwriter. Brook shares his personal journey through music — from punk rock gigs to the more intentional artistry of his current projects. And, of course, we also take the occasional side quest, reminiscing about some of the most memorable shows, bands, and venues that defined our scene.

    Now focused on his solo work, Brook continues to push his creative boundaries, blending raw emotion with immersive soundscapes. We dive into his recent releases, including Harvest In Twelve Parts — an ambitious, organic album that sonically explores the craft of winemaking — and Portals, a deeply atmospheric collection inspired by the rhythms of everyday life.

  • We're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat with William "Bill" Eck
    Jul 21 2025

    Holy crap! It's episode 30! I can hardly believe we've made it this far. To say I’m grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it. Thank you so much to every guest who’s joined me on this journey, and to every listener who’s tuned in. Your support means everything.

    For this special milestone episode, I’m thrilled to welcome back my dear friend Bill. Nearly two years after our original conversation, we’ve finally reunited for the long-awaited sequel. And trust me, we picked up right where we left off.

    In this episode, we dive deep once again—exploring the strange inner workings of infamous cults, revisiting some "wild" shared memories, and celebrating the 50th anniversary of one of our all-time favorite films. Plus, we also couldn’t resist dissecting a few of our favorite action movies and reveling in all their glorious absurdity. Thanks for hanging with us and being part of the madness for 30 episodes!

    Listen to my first episode with Bill right here!

  • My Day At Tokyo Disneyland: A Hardcore Theme Park Breakdown
    Jun 30 2025

    This is the second and final episode recapping my recent trip to Japan. In April 2025, I spent a week exploring the vibrant city of Tokyo — a highlight of which was an entire day at Tokyo Disneyland. As a lifelong Disneyland enthusiast, I’ve always been excited by the idea of visiting the international parks, and the chance to experience Tokyo Disneyland was truly irresistible.

    In this episode, I’m taking you through my full Disney day — from the moment I stepped through the gates to the grand finale under the night sky. I cover it all — the rides, the food, the merch, and my take on the park as a whole, including how Tokyo Disneyland stacks up against other Disney parks, especially the OG Disneyland in California.

    Getting to explore a new Disney park was seriously awesome and a magical way to wrap up my trip. Thank you for coming with me on my journey through Japan!

    Check out my first episode detailing my entire week in Tokyo right here.

    Thank you for listening!
