Dear Evan Hansen Songwriter Benj Pasek on Reaching Out For Help

Could Be Better, tbh (with Stacy London)

Today, we’re hearing from Oscar, Grammy, Tony and Golden Globe Award-winning songwriter Benj Pasek, who co-wrote the original score for the hit Broadway musical show “Dear Evan Hansen”. Benj’s work has transcended Broadway, and has helped fuel conversations about mental health and the importance of human connection.

In this episode, good friends Stacy and Benj talk about how we can be there for people going through mental health issues, how social media can be a tool for human connection, and the story behind one of Benj's songs (now a new book) “You Will Be Found”.
