A Beer by the Bins
Ben Keaton shares a pint with The Boy and lays out his plans. What begins as a conversation about funerals turns into something else entirely: a meditation on family, finances, and the strange tenderness of talking plainly about the inevitable. Set in a pub yard with a view of the church, this is full of life — unexpected laughter, small confessions, a passing dog, and a boy in love.
Dirty Stupid Wisdom is a podcast of comic essays written and read by Ben Keaton — actor, writer, Olivier Award-winner, and tireless adventurer. Each episode is under 20 minutes and perfectly formed for late-night listening.
Dirty Stupid Wisdom Litter: last wishes, pub chats, inheritance myths, crematorium perks, the facts of death.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
