Matt Goodman (Active Future): Fortnite and Freeplay

Matt Goodman is the Group Managing Director at Active Future, as well as a PhD candidate by publication at Northumbria University. 

In this podcast Matt discusses: 

• How longevity is his main score of success. 

• The unexpected success of "Fortnite" style activity classes in terms of uptake and individual activity. 

• The decline of ability for free play in youth/children. 

• His theory on whether the popularity of digital games in our youth is due to adult interference in organised sport. 

• Some tidbits of his research so far.
