Matthew Pritchard

Content producer

Matt is a content producer at Carsguide and Oversteer and one half of the ‘Richard and Pritchard’ science duo (he also tells people he’s an actor). A graduate of the University of Wollongong, Matt studied creative writing and advertising. At least he would have, if he didn't spend most of his time getting distracted by trashy TV.

Luckily, he’s been able to find a use for this (previously useless) knowledge, compensating for his admittedly limited automotive knowledge by focusing on weird TV shows, car paint jewellery and ghost cars.
