Matthew West Celebrates the First Anniversary of His Podcast

Five-time Grammy nominee and Dove Award winning singer/songwriter, Matthew West celebrates the first anniversary of his podcast. The Matthew West Podcast, which started in August 2020, finds the singer talking to Christian artists, athletes, authors, influencers, and many more. Over the course of the past year, West has had talked to Casting Crowns' Mark Hall, country music's Carly Pearce, author Annie F. Downs, Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson East among many others.

"In the last year I was blessed to have guests ranging from artists, comedians, commentators, to old friends, new friends, and more. It's been an incredible year," West writes. "Thank you to my team at TSF and everyone who has been a part of the journey so far!"

The podcast started when all tours were cancelled due to the pandemic. "When a tour gets cancelled, your voice doesn't have to get cancelled," West tells Sounds Like Nashville. "Just because I can't sing in front of people doesn't mean I can't get in front of people and still be a voice of encouragement because ironically our tours are cancelled during a time where people need hope more than ever. People find hope at concerts. They find encouragement, joy, happiness and a break from the problems in their world. Tours are able to provide that and that doesn't mean I'm going to sit back and stay silent. This podcast is really launching at a perfect time because I feel it's another way for us to continue to still bring those same things that we would normally bring on stage. This is just a different stage. I still get to bring hope and encouragement and inspiration to people."
