The Bench Podcast is hosted by Robert Galinsky and is recorded live in the streets, replete with all of its burps, bumps, and bruises. Galinsky speaks to people who are experiencing homelessness, have experienced homelessness, or are deeply involved in changing the lives of people who are affected by homelessness. We've left the controlled confines of a sound booth and the clean comfort of the studio. We're live in the trenches and on the benches, unscripted and uninhibited.
