Matt Cutler - In Memoriam
We are heartbroken to share that Lock It In Studio co-founder Matt Cutler passed away last week, following a brave battle with cancer.
All of us at Lock It In Studio are devastated. Over the past few years, Matt became not just a colleague but a dear friend. He was brilliantly funny, sharp, unpredictable in the best way, and he faced his diagnosis with extraordinary strength and dignity.
Matt was the mastermind behind our flagship comedy quiz format, Guestimators. The show not only brought us together, it brought joy and fun to everyone who played along each week, from our guests and quizzers to the listeners and the brilliant team behind the scenes.
He brought laughter, creativity and energy into every room and every project he touched. He will be deeply missed by everyone who knew and worked with him.
Our thoughts are with his wife Helena, his family and his many loved ones at this incredibly difficult time.

About Lock It In
Lock It In Studio is a home for fun, format-first storytelling.
We craft original comedy and entertainment podcasts shaped by the quirks and charms of British culture, from nostalgic deep-dives to celebrity-led quiz chaos. While audio is our starting point, we think far beyond it, building shows that live on in live events, merch, and screens big and small.
We’re producers, creators, and fans who didn’t come from traditional podcasting, and that’s our strength. With backgrounds in digital content, PR, and radio, we bring fresh energy, great taste, and a knack for working with brilliant people on projects that make audiences smile. Our shows like Guestimators, Scarred For Life, and Away Days prove that community, humour, and originality are what keep people listening and sharing.
