Hey, hi, hello, and welcome to This Lil Life (TLL) - a podcast that shares the stories and experiences that unite us all. In today's episode, I share an interview that I did a little over six years ago with Australian writer, journalist and broadcaster Benjamin Law. Ben discusses (amongst other things) how he got into writing, the pieces he's most proud of, whether or not he'd do a TedTalk again, his advice for teens who are exploring their sexuality, and his stance on the marriage equality debate (bearing in mind that same-sex marriage was not legalised in Australia until the end of 2017). 

The catch is, however, that I have not listened to the interview since I did it. So, I pop in and out of your ears throughout the interview with my response to Ben's answers and reaction to 15-year-old Lily's interviewing skills (or lack thereof). 

If you would like to know more about Ben and his work, you can visit his website (https://benjamin-law.com/) or follow him on Twitter and Instagram (@mrbenjaminlaw).

If you would like to keep up-to-date with the behind the scenes of This Lil Life, please follow me on Instagram (@this.lil.life_).

The song that is the intro and outro to the podcast is Airae's 'It Can Be Done'. You can check it out here: https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/BNFvEGigJE/

Stay safe, stay well and I'll be back on Sunday with another episode.
