Long-time listeners will remember the voice and laugh of Ben McNeely. He was a producer and a frequent voice on this podcast for a couple of years.

To listeners, he sort of disappeared, and he left his job at Spectrum News in late 2022.

Now, he’s ready to return and tell everyone why. We chose May in particular because it’s Mental Health Awareness Month, and it’s a must-listen conversation to hear his story facing anxiety and depression.
