Ben Bailey Smith on the beauty of duality, British values, and what happens when a teacher tells you to “just put white, it’s easier‪”‬ Mixed Up

The one where its ALL just a metaphor for being mixed
Emma and Nicole have an incredibly candid conversation Ben Bailey Smith aka Doc Brown. They discuss football as a unifier, class, identity politics, being fetishised as a mixed man, and how the Britain he grew up in bears little resemblance to the one today.
Ben is a multitalented creative - a comedian, rapper, actor, writer, presenter, all-around artist with a way with words and who can make you laugh by tapping into the truth.
