I am Benson Thai. I'm a writer, filmmaker, musician, and now: podcaster. This podcast was conceived in the spirit of my favorites like WTF with Marc Maron and The Nerdist/ID10T with Chris Hardwick. I try to have conversations with people so I can feed my curiosity, foster human connection, and get out of the house.
