This week on Why Am I, Canadian musician Ben E. Wood opens up about the making of his fourth album, the mental health struggles that shaped it, and why local arts matter more than ever. We dive into touring vs. “staying put,” the creative risks of writing a haunted album, and how to support friends in crisis. An honest, moving, and surprisingly funny conversation you don’t want to miss.

🎙 New episode of Why Am I is live! This week I talk to Joel (aka Fuel Neve), a voice actor and writer who uses humor to challenge flawed logic online. We talk grief, bravery, overthinking, and how becoming a parent—and losing one—shaped him into the storyteller he is today.

He’s smart, hilarious, and deeply human. You’ll laugh. You might cry. You’ll definitely think.

This story includes:
✔️ A p**p mural
✔️ A disappointing train ride
✔️ A picnic table bathroom protest

Just dropped a wildly fun episode of Why Am I with Meg Gustafson—aka the mind behind Hammy Whammy. We talked about why the 80s keep coming back, how aesthetics impact our creativity, and why laminate furniture deserves your respect. Plus: nostalgia, DIY rebellion, and yes... we slander Madonna a little.

Give it a listen—if you’ve ever painted a wall just to feel something, this one’s for you.
