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.
