Over the last 12 months his main focus,&nbsp;<em>Sappenin\u2019 Podcast,&nbsp;<\/em>a rock music show that offers behind-the-scenes access to life as a rock-star, has kept him very busy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Morgan is incredibly humble considering how much he has achieved being only 23. \u201cI look older than I am. I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s a good thing or if I look stressed,\u201d he says laughing. He has more names to drop than you would expect, but he doesn&#8217;t boast at all. In fact, it almost makes him uncomfortable talking about his success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After dropping out of Sixth Form College in 2012, he put all of his energy into his passion for music journalism.

He made himself known to Sean after years of interviewing him on Radio Cardiff. After the band broke up, Sean asked him to get involved in the podcast. \u201cIt was a full-circle thing,\u201d he says, \u201cThe 14-year-old me would have been very happy about this!\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guests on the show feel like they can open up to the pair and often drop exclusive news during interviews, most noteworthy being the reunion of McFly.
