Benito Skinner's Love For Britney Spears Runs As Deep As Her Lore
Briefly

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."
