Benedict Ballman

Benedict will be serving as VandyRadio’s Podcast Director for the 23-24 academic year.
Benedict is a Junior studying Public Policy, but if you ask him he’ll probably say Philosophy because “vibes.” Alongside his co-host Sam Boison, Benedict hosts the 240 radio show – Vanderbilt’s preeminent discussion forum for political discussion, sonic debates, and general complaining of the world. He also co-founded Memento Podcast, a podcast that seeks to dig deep into creativity and how to express it in an artist’s work. From poets to magicians, there is always a wide range of characters on Memento. Benedict is always happy to help interested students with podcasting, podcasting equipment, or attempting to grapple with the duality between our finite existence on Earth and already applying to summer internships. When is summer really even over yet?
