Flying Blind Podcast

Ben Pettingill

Booking Overview

A conversational personal-growth and resilience show centered on navigating life with blindness and other challenges, combining host-led episodes with external interviews featuring Australian athletes, musicians, and public figures. PR agencies could credibly pitch accomplished athletes, entertainers, artists, and people with compelling adversity or mental-health stories; booking difficulty is medium because the show features recognizable but accessible guests rather than only major celebrities.
