Why Am I Scott Longert

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Scott Longert.  He’s first and foremost, obsessed with baseball.  He’s written several books that chronicle the lives and times of ball players to give folks today the sense of what these people were like in the early 1900s.  For that matter he gives a sense of what America was like and how baseball impacted all of it.  Scott marries his love of baseball with that of history to try and remind us where we come from, so that maybe we can appreciate what we have just that little bit more.  Please share with a friend to help us grow, and I hope you enjoy this chat with Scott. Help us grow by sharing with someone!

Fantasy Restaurant Cold Spot Paranormal Research

Welcome to the warmup exercise for the Why Am I podcast called “the Fantasy Restaurant.”  In here my guests get to pick their favorite: drink, appetizer, main, sides, and dessert…anything goes.  The Coldspot team does quite well, even with me throwing them some curveballs.  This is the first time I’ve had three people in the restaurant, so I was worried the kitchen would have trouble keeping up, but with this delightful menu, it was no problem.  I hope you enjoy this meal with the Cspotters.

Why Am I Cold Spot Paranormal Investigators

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is actually a team, the Coldspot Paranormal Investigators, which is composed of Josh, Jamey, and Aleca.  I found this trio via their podcast, Paranormal Peeps, but what has me most interested is their “short” road trips that have them doing investigations at all hours of the night in places from old theaters to abandoned prisons.  While the common theme is ghost hunting, each member has their own reason for hunting ghosts and their own beliefs as to why they exist.  I hope you enjoy this conversation and may the ghosts be ever in your favor.  Help us grow by sharing with someone!

Why Am I Woody Shticks

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Woody Shticks.  Woody is a self described comedy stripper and Queer with a capital Q.  He grew up in a puritan religious community…with this in mind he learned to advocate for himself and then begin to do the same for others; even enduring years of “conversion” therapy.  He now channels all of this into his comedy, one-man shows, group performances, dance, and video work…dude stays busy!  Something that really drew me to him in the first place is the extremely thoughtful way he looks at the world around him and the things that are important to him; all the while he makes you laugh your ass off.  If you enjoy this or any of my other episodes, please share with a friend!  At any rate, I hope you enjoy this conversation with Woody.

Why Am I Jimmy Gownley

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Jimmy Gownley.  Jimmy is a cartoonist who got started around 15, and now after 35 years of work he’s a New York Times best selling author.  He’s created his own series and written for the likes of Disney, BUT his current project is what really has my attention.  It’s a graphic novel he hopes to complete this year on fighting depression with creativity.  It’s something all too real for a lot of folks, and hearing the way he articulates it is one of the best things to come out of this podcast.  I could have literally talked to Jimmy all day, but alas, I’m all out of special drink.  If you enjoyed this or any other episode, please share it with a friend; help me grow 🙂.  Now, I hope you enjoy this chat with Jimmy.

Why Am I George Collins

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is George Collins.  He’s a standup that went from introvert to…well still an introvert, just one that gets up on stage and does comedy.  He’s rounding out himself by also doing two podcasts and is currently writing a post apocalyptic novel.  BTW: there is also a published ten page love poem from when he was 17 floating around out there…so the dude knows real pain.  I hope you enjoy this chat with George.  If you’ve enjoyed this or any of the podcasts I’m asking you to share it with at least one person; help me grow!
