Unpacking Benny

About this episode

Cindy Chen interviews Benny, a fellow podcaster from Australia, discussing storytelling, competition in the podcasting industry, and personal experiences with bullying.

Hello Suitcase listeners! I have another celebrity of sorts, in the podcasting world, joining me from Down Under in today's episode! He is known only as Benny, and as he likes to call himself, "like-minded podcast enthusiast" with great storytelling skills, as seen in a podcast of his own, Death and Taxes. He and I met via Instagram when I started listening to his podcast before pivoting away from true crime, and I commented on a few of his lighter fare episodes (including the Gwyneth Paltrow ski trial). Then he became one of my biggest fans on my show, and he in turn had many questions to ask about my previous episodes. In this conversation, he relates to the uber competition of the studios in Australia and the "no-worries" culture that defines Australia, as well as his own bullying experiences in school. So sit back, grab a beer and say g'day to Benny!
