Home again

Home Again is a podcast about the places we live and how they make us who we are, brought to you by the flatshare site SpareRoom.

Every episode, we ask our guests to pick three homes and tell us how they shaped their lives. Whether that’s the house they grew up in, their first flatshare or where they live now - we find out what home means to them.

Meet the hosts

Matt Huttchinson Home Again podcast host

Matt

Matt is SpareRoom’s Communications Director and he’s been our key media spokesperson since 2007. If you’ve seen an article or news segment on renting in the past two decades, there’s a good chance Matt will be in it.

Matt’s a northerner by birth, but has lived in London now for so long it feels like home, although home is really wherever Katy and Fred are (and preferably it has room for a few guitars). Matt also hosts the award-winning music podcast Bluegrass Jam Along.

Ella Chisom Home Again podcast host

Ella

Ella joined the communications team at SpareRoom in 2023 after moving to London with a flatmate (turned best friend) that she met on the site. Now, Ella helps the team across socials and PR, putting her years of flatsharing to use.

For Ella, somewhere doesn't feel like home until there's a jar of Marmite in the cupboard - you can't beat tea, toast and a good TV series, along with the right people to share it, of course.
