About Snackin’ & Yakkin’
Snackin’ & Yakkin’ is a conversation-driven podcast where Charleston comedian Big Ben Kennedy sits down with a guest, shares a simple snack, and sparks real, engaging dialogue. The snack isn’t the spectacle… it’s the icebreaker.
The show is made for listeners who love authentic, low-pressure interviews: people who want to feel like they’re sitting around with friends, laughing, learning, and hearing stories they won’t get anywhere else. Kennedy’s quick wit and genuine curiosity create space for guests to loosen up, dig deeper, and reveal the moments, memories, and motivations behind who they are.
The guest roster, so far, has included nationally famous comedians Andy Forrester and Rollin’ Jay Moore, standout Charleston creatives like vegan chef Annie O. and star athletes from the Lowcountry Highrollers roller derby team, best-selling New Zealand author Erin Palmisano and Monster Jam TV host Scott Jordan to name only a few.
Listeners walk away with new perspectives, relatable insights, and that warm “great conversation with great company” feeling. No gimmicks. No shock value. No politics. Just real people, real stories, and a shared snack that brings it all together.
Snackin’ & Yakkin’ is a show that delivers the kind of connection and storytelling we’re all craving: comfortable, funny, and refreshingly human.
Who is Big Ben Kennedy?
Big Ben Kennedy is the comedy brain and bottomless appetite behind Snackin’ & Yakkin’, the Charleston-born podcast where great conversation reveals great people. A seasoned stand-up with a talent for turning any interview into a casual hangout, Ben uses his quick wit, curiosity, and genuine warmth to pull great stories out of every guest, from chefs to comics to everyday characters with something to say.
Long before comedy found him, Ben survived a horrific family tragedy on the doorstep to adulthood. It was an experience that sharpened his perspective, deepened his empathy, and ultimately fuels the heart behind his humor today. Offstage, he’s spent the last 15 years serving the Charleston community as a paramedic, bringing the same calm, compassion, and sharp instincts that show up in his standup and his interview conversations.
Ben’s performer resume includes over 20 years of stand-up comedy across the East Coast, featured appearances at many comedy clubs including the famous Improv and Comedy Zone, and opening for headliners like Jeff Dunham, Jim Gaffigan, Pauly Shore, and Joe Rogan. His growing YouTube and social media platforms, along with interviews featuring top voices, athletes, comedians, culinary talent and community figures in Charleston and beyond, continue to elevate his profile. His expanding media presence is earning him constant recognition as a rising personality in the Lowcountry’s comedy and podcast scene.
Powered by humor, heart, drive, and the occasional weird snack, Ben is proving to the world one bite at a time that passion and authenticity is the secret ingredient to being a great entertainer.
