#63: Ben Porter - Kids Just Wanna Fly
This episode is a live interview which took place at the exhibition and book launch of Ben Porter (https://substack.com/profile/113981064-ben-porter)’s new project Kids Just Wanna Fly (https://benporter.uk/kids-just-wanna-fly) on Friday 7th November 2025.
Ben is interviewed by York Creatives board member for writing and publishing, Kathryn Tann (https://substack.com/profile/86217131-kathryn-tann), who is also one of eight contributing authors who wrote either a short story or a poem for the book.
Kids Just Wanna Fly is about youthful ambition and the tumultuous years of young adulthood. Unfolding between 2003 and 2013, it’s a raw portrait of youth in the pre-smartphone era, and life growing up in post industrial northern England.
In addition to this interview, the launch event featured two short poetry videos and a performance by Bram Jarman (@jarmouse_ (https://www.instagram.com/jarmouse_)). You can watch them here (https://benporter.uk/kids-just-wanna-fly).
For those listening before 29th November 2025, Ben would like to invite you to the closing of the exhibition on Saturday 29th November, which coincides with the Patch Frost Fair - a winter celebration of print.
Ben will be there representing Overt Books (https://overtbooks.com/), the publishing company he created to bring to life artist book projects. He would love to speak to local artists and creatives who have a project that they think might work well as a book.
The Frost Fair (https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/frost-fair-at-patch-tickets-1639830670679) is taking place at Patch, The Bonding Warehouse, between 12pm and 6pm this Saturday. Entry is free.
The book is also available to purchase here via Overt Books. (https://overtbooks.com/product/kids-just-wanna-fly)
