Welcome to The Beached White Male Podcast 2026

Welcome to The Beached White Male podcast—and to a milestone moment. As the show approaches 500 episodes and more than 75,000 downloads, this episode looks back at how it all began - why the continued commitment to the name (Beached White Male) - and anticipates what lies ahead. 

What started as a book project—and some unexpected advice to “start a podcast instead”—grew out of conversations around racial reconciliation and a first improvised interview recorded in a hotel room. Now in its seventh year, firmly planted in retirement, Ken revels in the freedom of open conversations with powerful guests - courageous authors and influencers who share Ken’s passion.

The coming season promises deeper dives into the social and moral questions shaping public life at the intersection of Christianity and American power. Expect thoughtful guests, honest laughter, and questions that challenge assumptions without trying to win arguments. This is a space for curiosity, humility, and better conversations.

Welcome to Season 7.
