    Ep. 27 - Itchy Blind Eyes

    In this week’s episode of Flying Blind, Ames and Benny catch up and cover why blind people should be exempt from hay fever, Amy’s launch into #HomelyFans, how good a day at the local footy is, plus another instalment of ‘what caught your eye?’ with new buildings, fascinating stories, and penguins catching the attention this week.   Benny also shares the story behind his love for footy shorts. It’s got nothing to do with his short lived junior footy career before he went blind, but a way to keep his best mate Cammo and his memory close, as a reminder of how he loved to live life.    There is also an update on incoming merch that’s not far away now so keep your eyes and ears peeled for that! Enjoy this one and we hope you have a ripper week!    Join the Flying Blind Podcast Community group on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1047936994280199   Get around Flying Blind on socials!  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flyingblindpodcast/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Flying-Blind-Podcast/61580557913440/ https://www.tiktok.com/@flyingblindpodcast   If you’ve got a question, guest suggestion or just want to get in touch, we’d love to hear from you!

    Ep. 26 - You Can't Be What You Can't See with Kirsty Lamb

    Childhood mate and AFLW player Kirsty Lamb catches up with Ben and shares her story from junior sport through to becoming a professional athlete with the Port Adelaide Football Club today. Initially Kirsty was the only girl playing with the boys until that was taken away and she had to find other pathways in sport. Cricket seemed like the sport that had the most open doors for women so she focused on pursuing a career in cricket until the announcement of AFLW presented an opportunity to turn what had always seemed like a dream that would never come true into reality. Sport has taught Kirsty plenty along the way and there is so much that she has learned in elite sport that we can all relate to in life.      Follow Kirsty on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kirstylamb27/  Join the Flying Blind Podcast Community on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1047936994280199 Get around Flying Blind on socials!  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flyingblindpodcast/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Flying-Blind-Podcast/61580557913440/#  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@flyingblindpodcast/   If you’ve got a question, guest suggestion or just want to get in touch, we’d love to hear from you!

    Ep. 24 - Big Cox Energy with Brad Cox

    Australian singer & songwriter plus all round legend, Brad Cox drops into the Flying Blind studio before his Melbourne show last week as part of his current national tour. The boys dive into what it has taken to chase a career in music, the importance of switching off, why Brad believes constantly grinding isn’t the only way to success and the impact that ego and comparison can have in all aspects of life. They also talk mental health, song writing, on stage secrets and play a variation of ‘pick that sound’ built just for Coxy.   He is a bloody great singer but he’s an even better bloke and we appreciate him dropping in for a yarn to catch up. Enjoy legends!  To find out about Brad’s upcoming shows or grab some Coxy merch, visit - https://www.iambradcox.com/    Follow Brad Cox on socials-  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bradcoxofficial/?hl=en  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bradcoxofficial/    Get around Flying Blind on socials!  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flyingblindpodcast/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Flying-Blind-Podcast/61580557913440/#  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bradcoxofficial If you’ve got a question, guest suggestion or just want to get in touch, we’d love to hear from you!

    Ep. 23 - Midnight Magpies & Barking Dogs

    Ames has just landed back refreshed and re-energized after 9 days on the coast and she has come back to some nice new additions to the studio that Benny and his old man have knocked up while she was away. It is the first chance the two of them have had to properly catch up in a while so they take the time to check in with each other, go through what’s been happening as well as another instalment of ‘what caught your eye’.   This one goes all over the shop, covering Toy Story 5, magpies that don’t sleep, new shapes and chocolate flavours, barking dogs and what makes you a true local plus plenty of random recommendations. Enjoy legends!     Benny and Ames will also be at Brad Cox at the Forum in Melbourne this week so if you’re going or don’t have any plans, grab some tickets and join them for what will be a unreal night of live music by one of the country’s best!  https://www.iambradcox.com/shows    If you are in the lawn or land care industry make sure you get along to the 2026 Lawn and Land Equip Expo on the Gold Coast on Saturday the 1st of August and grab a ticket to the networking event at ‘The Island’ in Surfers Paradise for a fantastic evening where Ben will be the guest speaker.   https://llee.com.au/#    Get around Flying Blind on socials!  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flyingblindpodcast/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Flying-Blind-Podcast/61580557913440/#    If you’ve got a question, guest suggestion or just want to get in touch, we’d love to hear from you!

    Ep. 22 - Why Not? with Matt Formston

    We have our first blind guest on Flying Blind this week with Matt Formston joining Ben for our first ever blind to blind chat!   Matt is a big wave and world champion surfer, Paralympian, speaker and author. He has a list of achievements a mile long that to most of us would just seem outright ridiculous however driven by the question and title of his new book, ‘Why Not?’ combined with enormous amounts of trust, Matt is a living example of what’s possible with the right mindset and strategies.   Matt shares openly what life has been like for him being blind, his low points, how he pulled himself out of them as well as how he doesn’t let not being able to see hold him back today.      Pre-order Matt’s new book ‘Why Not?’ and go into the draw to win an iPhone Air, JS Surfboard or Billabong Wetsuit!  https://www.mattformston.com/books/why-not-pre-sale    To find out about booking Matt for your next event or learn more, check out-  https://www.mattformston.com/    Stay in touch with Matt and his blind adventures on socials--   Instagram: https://www.tiktok.com/@mattformston  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mattformstonofficial/    Get around Flying Blind on socials!  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flyingblindpodcast/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Flying-Blind-Podcast/61580557913440/#    If you’ve got a question, guest suggestion or just want to get in touch, we’d love to hear from you!
