Spencer Matthews, the broadcaster, entrepreneur, and endurance athlete, has unveiled his brand-new podcast series, Untapped. This marks an exciting new chapter for Matthews as he transitions from previous podcasting ventures to focus solely on exploring human potential with a fresh and dynamic approach.
The new weekly series, co-hosted by Jake Quickenden, promises thought-provoking conversations with world-renowned athletes, scientists, and thinkers, diving deep into what drives people to unlock their full potential. Visual episodes will also be available on the dedicated Untapped YouTube channel starting Monday, January 27.
A Bold Move: Leaving Previous Podcasts Behind
The launch of Untapped follows Spencer’s decision to step back from co-hosting the Spencer & Vogue podcast with his wife, Vogue Williams. Additionally, he announced the conclusion of his other podcasting commitments, including 6 Degrees with Jamie Laing and Big Fish. This decisive shift allows him to devote his energy entirely to the new series.
Spencer shared his enthusiasm for the new venture, saying:
“After four months of development and recording, I’m delighted to finally announce my next move in podcasting. Running through the Jordanian desert several months ago was a transformational and meaningful time in my life, during which I had a moment of clear realization. I want to change the nature of the content I create to include more of my interests and passions.”
What to Expect from Untapped
The podcast will center around inspiring stories and actionable insights from top performers across various fields. Here’s what makes Untapped stand out:
- In-Depth Conversations: Weekly episodes featuring thought leaders, elite athletes, and experts in science and psychology.
- Uplifting and Motivational Content: Insights designed to help listeners push their boundaries and discover their own potential.
- Visual Accessibility: Episodes will be available both as audio and on YouTube, enhancing the viewing experience.

Jake Quickenden Joins as Co-Host
Jake Quickenden, a fellow endurance enthusiast and entertainer, will serve as co-presenter. Reflecting on his partnership with Spencer, Jake said:
“I have known Spencer for nine years, and seeing the pure joy that this gives him is addictive! I’ve run marathons, fought in a cage, and am not shy about challenging myself. Everyone is going to blow your mind, and you’ll hear something you’ve never heard before.”
Inspired by a Personal Transformation
Spencer’s inspiration for Untapped comes from his own extraordinary achievements, including his “30 in 30” Great Desert Challenge, where he ran 30 marathons in 30 days across the Jordanian desert. This feat earned him a Guinness World Record and solidified his passion for pushing boundaries.
Recalling the experience, Spencer said:
“Running 30 consecutive marathons opened my eyes to what the human mind and body are capable of. Despite the gruelling conditions, I fell even more in love with pushing myself.”
Collaborating with High-Performance Experts
The podcast is produced by the team behind High Performance, a platform that has built a reputation for delivering impactful content. Jake Humphrey, co-creator of High Performance, expressed his admiration for Spencer:
“Watching Spencer take on and conquer his 30 in 30 challenge was nothing short of extraordinary. His unwavering determination and infectious excitement about his achievement have inspired so many, proving that anything truly is possible.”
More Than Just a Podcast: Building a Community
Beyond the weekly episodes, Untapped will evolve into a broader platform, featuring events and challenges that bring listeners together. Spencer’s vision is to inspire and connect individuals, fostering a supportive community that shares a passion for personal growth.
“Our aim is to build a community so that we can all share and be inspired by one another – where we challenge ourselves and help each other to achieve incredible things,” said Spencer.
