This week on Benched, we’re hanging out with the absolute icon Benjamin Law (The Family Law, Wellmania)! We dive straight into what sport looks like when you’re growing up queer and Asian-Australian on the Sunshine Coast; from dodging school PE trauma to taking on adult acrobatics classes at 44. Ben spills on what competing on Australian Survivor actually taught him, why he wrote a powerhouse Quarterly Essay on the Safe Schools program, and why writers and creatives secretly need to get out of their minds and move their bodies too.
Hosted by Rudy Jean Rigg, Hannah Wilkinson and Mitch Brown, Benched brings together athletes, artists, fans and storytellers to unpack the weird, wonderful and unexpected corners of sport.
Follow us @teambenched everywhere to join the team and make sure you chuck us a 5 star review. It helps out a bunch!
