Ben Durham
This is a centralized place for you to find most of the things I’ve made and done.
Relentlessly curious storyteller at heart
From wallets to wheels, the topics that keep bubbling to the surface of interest for me are urbanism, micromobility, accessibility for all, and personal finances. The closer you look into these topics, the more you realize just how tightly linked they are together.
On top of all that, I want to continue showing the world how much fun it is to get around outside of a car for everyday tasks, instead of being forced to drive.
The main Ben Durham YouTube channel is where you can most of my biggest hits, which you’re probably familiar with.
I host Wheels and Beyond, a mostly weekly podcast about active transportation, micromobility, and getting around outside personal vehicles.
My Gear Guide page allows anyone to see what gear I’m using currently to make my videos!
It’s also kinda like an affiliate shop; if you want gear and want to support me, buy it through the links on that page 🙂
How to support me
Becoming a paid Patreon member is the best way to support me financially right now, aside from sharing my YouTube videos with your friends, family, and network who you think will benefit by watching them.
As mentioned above, if you’ll be buying gear in the near future, check out my Gear Guide page to see what I’m using right now. If you choose buy using links on that page, I get kickbacks at no extra charge to you. Future kit recommendations are on their way in the coming months, too.
Do you have an insider tip or unique information on a story? Or a suggestion for a story I might be interested in covering? Maybe a potential podcast guest? Someone who can help me with script writing or research? Let me know via email 🙂
Where to reach me
Whenever I share something with the world, I try to post to all socials, because everyone has their own preference. But because each platform has its own specific specifications (ratios, resolutions, lengths, captions, tags, captions, etc), that’s irregular. If you want to know what I’m up to, my monthly newsletter will be the best way to stay in the know.
If you’d like to contact me directly, email is always the best way.
My official social accounts
The following are all my social accounts, listed in order of relevance and activity for me. A big problem that I have with social media is that I jump on to post my own content and then quickly jump off, so that I don’t waste my time. I know, it’s entirely hypocritical of me, but the majority of these sites (excluding Patreon) are designed to suck up all of your free time.
- Patreon (updated the most, seeing as I can post whatever and however I want to)
- Reddit (I’m on here commenting and posting often—TOO OFTEN, tbh)
- Instagram (this is where my local London, Ontario community is gathers)
- YouTube community (I post here in case the almighty YT algo doesn’t show my videos to subscribers)
Other social accounts
- Threads (don’t spend enough time on here to generate a following but still post)
- Bluesky (has a lot of potential but I don’t spend any time on here)
- TikTok (a few big hits but it’s an unsustainable platform for Canadians – I just post ‘n’ dip)
- Facebook (quite inactive, basically dead engagement)
- Xitter (listed for verification reasons)
If there’s an account claiming to be me on any of these platforms, and it’s not linked from here, it’s very likely to be an impersonation. I’d appreciate it if you let me know about it, too!
