Benjamen Walker is an American radio personality, known best for his monologues in the style of Joe Frank. His Your Radio Nightlight was broadcast on WZBC in Boston at irregular intervals from 2000 to 2004. It then evolved into the series Benjamen Walker's Theory of Everything, a hybrid documentary format that retains many elements of personal storytelling and drama from "Your Radio Nightlight" that was broadcast on numerous stations including WBEZ, KALW and KUOW.
In February 2006, "Theory of Everything" began being distributed as an internet-only podcast as part of National Public Radio's alt.NPR offerings, switching to a shorter format and erratic release schedule. Benjamen now works at WNYC Public Radio, where he helped produce Street Shots, the multi-platform series exploring New York street photography. The series includes a video short profiling Magnum Photos photographer Bruce Gilden, which was a featured video on YouTube.
Walker can now be heard Mondays 6-7pm EST on WFMU in Jersey City, where he produces the weekly radio show and podcast Too Much Information.
