b"In GBA 268 we get better acquainted with Ben. We talk about gender, sexuality, privilege, music, podcasting and lots of other things. We met for the first time about an hour before I turned the mic on after being introduced by a mutual friend via email. Ben had heard my show about masculinity and was interested in talking about some areas in and around it and we were also meeting because he is gearing up to make his own podcast using Binaural microphones. But everything else was discovery. We started talking in a quiet cafe/bar in New Cross which becomes louder by the end of the episode. We're both thinking out new thoughts influenced by personal events and national news and the cafe music provides a nice sound bed (although it means the episode is a little less edited than some).\\n\\nBen plugs:\\n\\nHis upcoming new podcast Dissident Kitchen\\n\\nI plug:\\n\\nThe Family Tree: http://thefamilytreepodcast.co.uk/\\nPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/thefamilytreepodcast\\n\\nWhat About the Men?
