The Ben Carver Podcast: Heartbreak

Ben Carver podcast

My latest podcast episode is on “Heartbreak.” I interviewed 15 gay men on the topic. I admire their courage and honesty and appreciate them for their participation. I also include an essay about my own struggle after the break-up of a four year relationship. I hope this episode helps people feel a little less alone in their own heartbreak. A full track listing is available on my website at www.bencarveronline.com.

The Ben Carver Podcast: The Gym

The gym



For my latest episode I spoke with almost two dozen gay men on the topic of “The Gym.” They were eloquent and honest and I’m honored that they took the time to speak with me. Their diverse opinions are interspersed with a couple of spoken word pieces (by me) and tunes that are sure to get you amped at the gym. Lace up your sneaks and put in your earphones and listen during your next workout.

listen here!

[Ed. note: Thanks Ben for wanting to post this on C&B. It was fun to take part in this project with you and hear all the other answers. And to Sam for his great musical taste...maybe you'll see a guest post of his around here soon!]

Ben Carver Podcast Episode #5: Danny Shapiro and Eli Lieb

We are happy again to share with you the latest edition of the Ben Carver podcast. This edition brings us new indie music from Borderstan‘s music writer Danny Shapiro and Ben himself. For those of you not in DC, Borderstan is the online news magazine that covers the Dupont/Logan/U Street neighborhoods in Washington, DC. Danny covers the local music scene, which really has its epicenter in the neighborhood where we all live. It is great to know that someone is out there highlighting the rich music culture of DC that often gets hidden by the political culture that dominates the town.

Ben also welcomes close friend and very talented musician Eli Lieb, one of our fresh brewed up and coming artists.

Danny and Ben bring an insightful look at new indie music and the local music scene among many other things. We at C&B definitely recommend you subscribe on iTunes.

Hi all, hope your weekend was fantastic! I’m going to post a hot little song later today, but first wanted to bring your attention to a podcast from DC resident Ben Carver who does a monthly episode featuring music and commentary. In his fourth, Ben features artists that recently visited or will soon play in the DC area. Even if you do not live here, I still suggest listening in as one might be in your area soon.

Ben has been a friend for a few years and has recently begun to dabble in the world of podcasting which I am very excited about. He brings a great voice and insightful knowledge to any subject he tackles so I definitely recommend you subscribe on iTunes.
