It's Raining Ben: The Podcast

Ladies and Gentlemen you'd better dress for precipitation, because it's raining Sam!

Or is it?

In our most daring episode yet, we discover what happens when the show starts and the co-host is still in bed. Will Sam make it to the studio in time with nothing to aid him but his feet, his legs, and his diehard enthusiasm for radio? You'll just have to listen in to find out.

What we can guarantee is that Ben will be doing his best to fill time by solving listener's problems, sent in live through social media. Were dinosaurs and pelicans alive at the same time? Is John Legend really a Legend? What are Ben's top ten safe words and how does he rank them? All will be revealed.

What did you expect?
