In preparation for starting this great journey together, Ben Hamlin and Lesley Yates sit down with each other and interview each other about the stories they love and the building blocks that create those narratives. We ask each other about Star Trek and non-linear storytelling, disappointing finales, the Austin Television Festival and so much more.

Syndicated with Lesley and Ben is a twice monthly podcast about television, genre and storytelling in which your hosts watch one episode of a new show and explore the history of television one episode at a time. From family room sitcoms to space exploration shows, reality TV to procedurals and game shows, we’re going to cover it all and give you the context you need to understand the wonderful world of television and the stories we love.Our Logo is by Terra Bosart, the theme song is by Mandra Sigma and the show is edited by Ben Hamlin.
