Welcome to Why Do I Love This? A podcast where we examine how concepts, objects, activities and ideologies become foundational to the human experience.

Join me, Drew Toynbee, on a compelling exploration of the deep connections we have with concepts, objects, activities, and ideologies. Each episode dives into the reasons behind our attachments and the experiences that shape who we are. In this show I engages with guests to uncover academic, psychological, and philosophical insights that illuminate these profound passions. From fictional characters to sports, music, and even the medium of podcasts themselves, no topic is too strange or obscure. Subscribe now to embark on this journey of discovery and maybe answer the question; "Why Do I Love This?"

Drew Toynbee

I am a freelance creative from the UK, using my skills developed as an actor in another life to create video and audio content either for myself, like this show, or for clients ranging from the wedding industry to Space Lawyers (I'm not kidding, it's wild).

Contact

I would be thrilled to hear from you if you have any feedback on the show, or just want to say hi! In the social media space I'm most active on Threads, but you can also find me on Instagram, less and less on Twitter, or even on my poor, neglected website.

Guest Enquiries

If you have a concept, object, activity or ideology that is deeply important to you, and you'd be interested in appearing on a future episode of this show, then you can fill in this form. I will do my best to get back to everyone, although I will only make an episode on something that I'm confident I can do deep enough research on to do it justice.

If you're enjoying what I'm making, you can support me in making more here by sending me a little something something. Wink wink nudge nudge
