From Western Sound in Aincast Studios, this is the score. Season one, the Ben robber Diaries. I'm Benadair and this is episode 6, the Hunter. So, you know, I wanted to ask you, we've been hearing a lot about your stories about

bank robbery, stories about your childhood, like what kind of told is telling these stories

take on you?

Is it hard for you to do?

Yeah, well, that's a good question.

It's not necessarily, there's two questions, right?

Is it hard for me to do, and does it take a toll on me?

Telling stories is what I do. I'm a storyteller. Even in prison, I had story, everywhere,

everybody is a story teller and everybody has a story. I had standout stories. I'm a

story tell her. I've been that since I was a kid. I would get kids around my mom's

philanthrop board at age seven, tell stories. That's what I do. So it's the easiest thing in the world for me to tell the story. When I was young,

I didn't understand or younger when I first got out of prison, I didn't understand I was

telling stories with such emotional, heavy weight that when I would tell them I did great I gave

insight to people I told the story and then I would walk away and I'd feel like

shit because what I did is I opened up a trapdoor and all this stuff came

out and remember these stories once are the things that drove me off the edge.

Right.

They would fuck me up.

They would trigger me to go behave violently.

When I changed my life and I organized them all on the page, they had a different

feel. They were the things that let me see all the grief in my life. So now when I tell these

stories, all that happens is the grief comes.
