Happy 60th birthday to the man who fostered Ben's \"give anything a go\" attitude by simply saying to him, in the early days of losing his sight, \"All those things you love to do, we'll find another way to do it\". And so they did. Ben gives us an insight in to how, with the un-waivering help from his family, especially his Dad, was able to keep his hobbies of waterskiing, shooting and fishing simply by doing things differently. We also chat about Amy's low key Mothers Day, Bens calendar & the very exciting release of the line up for Alpha Events Co's Podcast Royale 3.0 that Ben will once again feature in.
