We all have one; a deep, passionate interest in something that might be seen as off-the-beaten-path from the norm. On 'What's Your Niche?' Ben Goodman will delve into his own personal niche favourites, often getting into their histories, and what makes them so important to him. Ben will also delve into other people's niche favourites via interview, whether it's artists he admires or pals of his. Each episode might be wildly different from the last, but there is one axiom that holds it together: The specific is universal.
