Hey, I’m Ben Fast and welcome to my new podcast!

It’s a crazy world out there right now. We’re living in an age of isolation, staying healthy by staying apart while also trying to keep our lives going. It’s a lot of change and bad news, and I find sometimes I just want to be distracted.

I’m working from home right now and self-isolating for the good of the people, so I’ve got a bit of extra time on my hands. I thought, what better way to keep myself busy than challenging myself with a new podcast project, right?!

I’m calling this thing “Well That’s Cool” because I want to spend some time talking with people – from a distance, obviously! – about things that make me say, “well, that’s cool!” I’m going to try and get things out as quick as I can, with lots of interviews and embracing the rough edit. You may hear my squeaky chair, my crackly heaters, and maybe even my downstairs neighbours at times, but it’s all part of the adventure.

I want to share with you what I find cool, but I also want to find out what’s cool for you. What are you learning about, reading, watching, creating – what makes you curious? Join my Curious Quarantine Club by sending a short audio message to wellthatscoolpod@gmail.com, or suggest something for me to look into for the podcast. You can find the show on Twitter at @well_thatscool or Facebook at /wellthatscoolpod!

Who knows where this is going to go? I hope you’ll join me, be curious with me, and I hope you find it cool! No go was your hands and hum along to the theme tune!
