Benito Skinner, known for his podcast Ride and recently released series Overcompensating on Amazon Prime, reflects on the positive reception of his work. Skinner, who started the series as a live show in 2019, shares deep admiration for Britney Spears, whose music has been a consistent source of inspiration throughout his life. He appreciates messages from viewers, particularly from the queer community, relating to his semi-autobiographical character, Benny, and feels a sense of fulfillment from portraying his experiences in a personal and relatable way.
"I've taken half of a deep breath. I'm blown away, and it feels amazing to get DMs from queer people - and even some straight guys, randomly - saying they saw themselves in my show."
"Overcompensating started as a live show Skinner first performed back in 2019. One thing that hasn't changed in the jump to television? Its tribute to Britney Spears - an artist, Skinner says, who has been there for him at every stage of his life."
