Summary

Homo Sapiens would like to offer our very own candidate for the new James Bond : Vice Senior Reporter, Ben Hunte. From stories of being kidnapped in Malaysia, to undercover LGBTQ+ investigations, this former BBC LGBT Correspondent has led the life of an international man of mystery from a young age. And I’m pleased to say that he’s picked up an encyclopaedic knowledge of musicals and a brilliant sense of humour along the way. We sit down this week to find out more about all of the above… and more. Chris x

all the wrong things. Gosh, it feels familiar. I'll leave it at that for now, it's a really
