I was drawn to listen to Kezia and Tenille Townes interviews first but they were so good I’ve listened to every episode now. Ideal gym listening for a fellow country artist. Ben is a seriously professional and likeable host and is fantastic at gelling with the artist. Now a firm favourite podcast listen!
