Homo Sapiens
166: Ben Hunte | Part 2
Season 6, Ep. 166
•
Homo Sapiens would like to offer our very own candidate for the new James Bond : Vice Senior Reporter, Ben Hunte. From stories of being kidnapped in Malaysia, to undercover LGBTQ+ investigations, this former BBC LGBT Correspondent has led the life of an international man of mystery from a young age. And I’m pleased to say that he’s picked up an encyclopaedic knowledge of musicals and a brilliant sense of humour along the way. We sit down this week to find out more about all of the above… and more. Chris x

Get to Know Co-Host Megan Crabbe
10:38|A little treat for you on this blustery Friday—an extra snippet from our first episode with the brilliant Megan Crabbe. Our conversation was so great we couldn’t fit it all into the main podcast, so here’s the part you didn’t hear.Megan was one of the original trailblazers of the Body Positivity movement—calling out diet culture long before it became a trend. In this bonus clip, we talk about how she found herself at the forefront of that shift, and she shares more about her personal journey with queerness.I adore Megan. I could listen to her speak forever—hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
