Ben is a true broadcasting gem—an experienced radio presenter with a lifelong passion for music and an extraordinary gift for storytelling. With a rich background across multiple stations, he brings a depth of knowledge that spans genres, decades, and fascinating moments in music history. Whether it’s an obscure rock and roll anecdote or a perfectly timed track, Ben has a way of drawing listeners in and making them feel part of something special.
Ben is also registered blind, but that’s never held him back. Using screen reading technology called NVDA, he navigates the studio with remarkable precision and grace. While he may not see what’s in front of him, his hearing is second to none—he catches every detail, every note, every moment. His presence behind the mic is a powerful reminder that talent knows no boundaries.
We’re proud to have Ben as part of our team—not just for his professionalism and expertise, but for the warmth, wit, and generosity he brings to every broadcast.
