Hi there! Contrary to popular belief, my name is Tim and you can find out more about me on my website: Coded Monkey. I’m the creator of the No Agenda website and founder of Octopod. The Dude Named Ben Blog is an initiative to share insights into my podcasting-related thoughts and projects.
Who’s Ben?
The term “Dude named Ben” is regularly used by the hosts of No Agenda to refer to IT guys (or “Dudette named Bernadette” for the IT ladies). It’s a reference to IT departments often being overlooked and undervalued within companies, while modern business processes don’t function if a problem occurs in the technology stack. When digital workflows stop, dudes named Ben are the only ones who can fix it and we’re happy to carry that burden, even if we don’t always get the recognition we deserve.
I’m not the only Dude named Ben connected to The No Agenda Show, in fact, there’s a whole team of dudes and dudettes named Ben and Bernadette out there and you can find out more about them below.

No Agenda is a global podcast which is why No Agenda producers are the best type of people you can meet up with, no matter which FEMA region you find yourself in today.
