Welcome to Finding Nico (Formerly Known as Stupid Hearts Club)

The podcast where you follow me, Nico Tatarowicz, trying to figure out who I am and what my purpose is going to be, now that the TV industry has melted like a snowman in a volcano. Taking my career with it.

-------------------

One of the hats I am wearing as I figure out how to survive in the cruel hinterland of my TV writer comedy heyday is that of 'Music Dad'. A badge and idea that has become very dear to me as I submerge myself into the grass roots music scenes of Brighton and beyond, anbout 30 years later than you are supposed to.

Ronnie, as you will hear, actually played a key part in me daring to start fraternising with musicians again as a middle aged old fool.

I recorded our chat last week in the Lion and Lobster in Brighton. Have been meaning to get Ronnie on for ages but we could never get the timing right and then BOSH, there he was already not shutting up at any point for over three hours. Taste of my own medicine without a doubt.

He's got a story or two has Ronnie. Enjoy.

BTW if you hear this before the 16th Nov and there are any tickets left, Ronnie is DJ'ing for Babyshambles! Hear all about it in the ep!

Hey my angels

Summer has well and truly gone but I still have a few weeks to go until I move into a rented room for the winter. Last week I decided to set off slowly from Brighton to Manchester. I stopped in London to see friends, then swung by St Albans where I stocked up on van snacks in the Iceland in The Range (classy).

I decided to stop halfway, just outside Leicester for a pub scran and kipped in the carpark as the pub was on 'Search for Sites', an app that is super useful for vanlifers, caravan owners etc that shows you lots of places you can legally stay overnight.

You simply check out the map and tap on the suggested campsites, laybys, pubs and caravan sites to see what they have to offer.

I got in the poddy mood as I was on the road, had a little giggle at a sticky toilet floor and then chilled in Linda before bed which is where most of this ep is recorded.

And as usual, I slept like a baby.

Enjoy my musings.....

Hullo there my loves

This week I found myself parked up near Basildon where I am helping to cut back and old lady's front garden (Stop it) for one of my lovely Patrons. I will kind of do anything for cash at this point, and it's actually becoming quite liberating.

My head has been quite messy lately but on Monday night I suddenly got the urge to catch talk so you can now catch up on all my Linda based misadventures.

I will be safely indoors in an Air BnB in a few weeks so this summers mission of house-sitting and van-lifing will soon be at an end. Though my plans for Linda and me are really only just getting started now I know how to handle being inside her (stop it) for days and weeks at a time.

Anyway, if you are new here know this. I have no f*cking idea how I am supposed to survive the next few years but I am going to bloody keep cracking on until I figure it out....

I hope you enjoy this rather open and honest episode of the newly christened Finding Nico.....

(I'm actually Nicko not Neeco, but it makes the pun work)
