This episode we chat with comedian and podcaster Big Ben Kennedy of the Snakkin and Yakkin podcast.
It's a lively conversation that covers Ben’s stand-up origins in Baltimore, his move to Charleston, and how family shaped his choices. Ben discusses acting and improv experiences, early open-mic nights, touring as an opener for major names, and a memorable stage moment with Darrell Hammond. He also opens up about his long career as an EMT/paramedic and how that perspective informs — but rarely supplies — his comedy material.
The episode dives into Ben’s podcast Snakkin and Yakkin: how it started, the pivot from co-hosted taste tests to interview-driven episodes, booking local creatives and business owners, producing video and audio (three-camera shoots, Adobe editing), and social media strategies. Ben shares practical lessons on studio work, show preparation, guest selection, and building authentic, long-form conversations that go beyond promotional blurbs.
