It's hard to describe Mark Herschberg in one sentence. He has written a book, The Career Toolkit, to help folks by giving them the information they don't usually get in school. And Mark's life has been one of things learned outside of a traditional classroom. He's been a competitive ballroom dancer. He has over 400 cufflinks. He's helped catch terrorists. Oh, and he's taught at MIT. There's a lot you can learn from listening to Mark, either in this interview or in his book.

Why? Episode 122- Erotic Baking with Niki Novak from Sweet N Nasty Jan 04, 2021

Show notes

Let's start off 2021 with a couple of truths: Everyone loves baked goods. Everyone loves food shaped like body parts. So, why not combine the two and sell cakes shaped like breasts, penises, butts and vaginas for almost half a century?
That was the question Niki Novak asked when she started Sweet-n-Nasty in Boston, MA. The store has become an institution, a go-to for bachelor & bachelorlette parties, retirements and anytime you want to have a laugh while you put something delicious in your mouth. For more information on Sweet n Nasty, check out their website, and tell them we sent you.

Why? Episode 120- Celebrating Life Day with Bruce Vilanch Dec 24, 2020

Show notes

Any Star Wars fan worth their salt knows that Life Day is an important part of any holiday celebration. We talked with writer Bruce Vilanch who, on top of writing for 14 Oscar ceremonies also contributed to the much maligned 1977 TV special, The Star Wars Holiday Special. We'll bring you the full interview with Bruce at a later day, but we couldn't let the holiday season go by without pausing to celebrate.
Happy holidays from all your friends at Why.
Nigel, is that you?
