The Accidental Reinvention

In this milestone episode of When I Grow Up, Paul Glazby sits down with the show’s behind-the-scenes mastermind and unofficial co-host, Matt White, for an unscripted catch-up that charts the unexpected evolution of the podcast.What started as a simple idea, a few reflective chats about life, careers, and DJ dreams, has transformed into a passionate, community-driven series that reconnects Paul with his music roots, reignites old friendships, and welcomes new stories into the fold. From the early episodes with Maddox and Ben Stevens to the powerhouse Tidy Boys appearance that blew up the charts, Paul and Matt reflect on how the podcast became a hub for Hard House legends, loyal fans, and everyone in between.But this episode isn’t just a look back. It’s also a raw and candid discussion about what’s next. Paul opens up about his accidental slide back into the world of DJing and producing after a decade of semi-retirement, and the buzz he’s feeling heading into gigs in Brisbane, Adelaide, London, and back home in the UK. With new tracks on the horizon, including a remix of Baby Doc’s “Yum Yum” and a 25-year rework of “Kick It”, it’s clear Paul’s not done with the decks just yet.The pair also talk about the growing When I Grow Up community, from fans like Kristof who tune in the moment episodes drop, to behind-the-scenes guests who are now part of new ventures. There’s genuine warmth as Paul shares the joy of hearing from old friends and forging new bonds with artists like Baby Doc and Dave the Drummer. These aren’t just interviews, they’re reunions, with laughs, banter, and a touch of nostalgia.And in classic When I Grow Up fashion, things get real. Paul and Matt lay down a challenge: get fit, stay off the booze, and reclaim the kind of energy that built careers and communities. There’s even talk of gym stats, accountability partnerships, and revisiting those numbers before Christmas. Will they stick to it? Time will tell, but they’re putting it all on record.Whether you’re here for the music, the stories, the behind-the-scenes gossip, or just to hear two mates ramble with purpose, this episode delivers. It’s heartfelt, hilarious, and a reminder that no matter where life takes you, passion has a way of pulling you back in.Drop a comment if you’ve been following from the start or if this is your first episode—Paul and Matt read every message, and they love hearing your stories.And if you’re heading to any of Paul’s upcoming gigs, keep an eye out for the When I Grow Up T-shirt—he’ll be the one not playing a two-minute edit.#WhenIGrowUp #PaulGlazby #MattWhite #HardHouse #DJLife #MusicPodcast #ElectronicMusic #PodcastCommunity #DanceMusicLegends #OldSkoolVibes #TidyBoys #ViciousCircle #UKClubScene #RealTalk #BehindTheDecks #PodcastAustralia #ThrowbackBeats #RemixLife #ClubCulture #PodcastJourney
