A podplace where we look at the things in our lives, that force us to question our decision making and have to ask, "Why am I doing this?"
Whether, at first you thought choices were made rationally and now they need questioning, or we realise we were led to believe things would be better than they have turned out, or possibly that we did something, didn't know why and have now realised we were right all along. Join me Seppi Preston and let's ask, "Why am I doing this?".
Episode 4 - Chris Helme, The Seahorses & brilliant Solo artist
A lovely, chatty McChat, over a few drinks with the busker to overnight success and frontman of John Squire’s post Stone Roses band The Seahorses, that is Chris Helme.
We talk about him going from having fairly recently learning to play the guitar to full on stardom and supporting The Rolling Stones, addiction, life in general and his excellent new album, World of My Own, that has been a long time in the making.
We swear a lot, have a race, meander on and off topic a very lot, and generally chat like a couple of blokes having a drink and chatting, which is what we are doing.
Go on, do your ears a favour, it may just change your life.

Episode 1 - Karen Dunbar
Me interviewing writer, actor, singer and comedian Karen Dunbar, of Chewin’ the Fat fame and stardom.
It’s my first interview and I’m a bit crap at interviewing, so it’s a bit rubbish, but it’s only 20 minutes, so won't hurt for too long.
Go on, give it a listen and follow/subscribe to find out about new episodes.
Thanks for stopping by.

Why am I doing this? Intro
Welcome to the Why am I doing this? podcast with me Seppi Preston.
This is just an intro but, all in all this will be a place where I endeavour to work out why we find ourselves doing the things we do and how they measure up to the image we had in our head before we found ourselves doing them, where we can only ask "Why am I doing this?"
Through a mix of interviews and ramblings, I hope to shed light on what gets us where we sometimes aren't sure we want to be.
It could be a teacher who doesn't like kids, a bus driver who hates driving or a comedian who suffers from anxiety. Somewhere to make you feel reassured about wherever you are in life.
I am always looking for people with a story to tell, so get in touch if you’re doing something and find it funny, interesting or strange and fancy having a chat to try to make sense or at the very least make fun of it (which will probably make sense of it too).
