Behind The Bastards podcast did several episodes where they read from his novel “True Allegiance” and boy is it every bit as racist as it is terrible! But I love what a blatant self-insert the whole thing is. That part cracks me up. Ben’s protagonist is a handsome six-foot+ man’s man named Brett who is not only the youngest General in the US Army but he definitely doesn’t have a squeaky voice and people would never dare tease him and he totally got invited to lots of of parties in college too.
I’d highly recommend searching for a Spotify playlist called “Behind the Bastards: True Allegiance” if you want a waste a couple hours with some comedy gold.
I think they read the sequel on Worst Year Ever
Edit: I’m sure they read at some of Ben’s books on the tail end of that shows run but maybe it wasn’t True Allegiance
That’s Combat General Brett Hawthorne to you.
You have to say the whole thing, every time.
