Why? The Podcast

Direct from Cupecoy beach on St. Maarten, it's Why with our special guest nude beach enthusiast Harry Levy. Why does Harry love being naked? Does he even own a bathing suit? And what about sun block? We get to the bottom (get it?) of it all.

If you've read "Restless Sea Lord," "To Mate a Werewolf," or "The Caress of a Commander," you're already familiar with Michael Wayne Foster's work. He's a model and is featured on over 800 romance novel covers.

But Michael is more than that. He's also an actor, who's appeared notably in "The Walking Dead," "The Thundermans," and "black-ish." We talk with Michael about all his acting work, what prompted him to make a career 180 from teaching as well as his charity work for Nicaragua.

How do you describe a Satori Circus show? Part musical, part mime, part drama, part burlesque and all-inclusive. Basically, you never know what you'll get, but you're sure to be sucked in. We talk to Satori about his skin care regimen, his favorite type of shows, his alter-egos and what he wants the audience to take away from his art.

Bruce Zaccagnino holds the world record for building the largest model train set in the world. But he's not done yet. He's still building. He joins us to talk about his building, holding a Guinness World Record, receiving the highest honor in the Hindu faith and what is up next.

You can see Bruce's work at Northlandz, in Flemington, New Jersey.

River Gallo was recently named one of PAPER magazine's 100 People Taking Over 2019. Why? You may ask. Well, he wrote, co-directed and stars in the new short film Ponyboi- the first film written by and starring an intersex person. Oh, and it's produced by Emma Thompson and Stephen Fry. Yes, that Emma Thompson and Stephen Fry. He's also a model, intersex advocate and all around fascinating. We talk about all of it, as well as his deep love of Brittany Murphy, his other work and the ending of Crazy, Rich Asians.

Just in case doing an Iron Man seems too easy to you, here comes wife carrying. Champion Jesse Wall joins us to talk about tricks of the trade, adding some snowshoes to the mix and competing against the Ivan Drago of the sport.

He's streaked (yes, that's the correct verbage for past-tense streaking) over 500 events around the world. He's danced on the Super Bowl field. He slipped and fell on the ice during the winter Olympics. And he's run around soccer pitches all over the world completely naked. He is Mark Roberts and he is the world's greatest streaker.

Here's some of the things that Molly Schuyler has eater: 93 dumplings, 33 corn dogs and 501 chicken wings. Molly is the one of the best competitive eaters out there. She joins us to discuss chipmunking, getting hassled at the Golden Corral and one of the foods she refuses to eat in competition.

If anyone knows a good travel trip or two, it's Tom Massey. He's written a book about it. Well, he's going to. Tom sat down with us in the community room at the Phluid Project in New York City to talk over the best way to get from here to there.

Happy New Year! We close out the year talking with Marc Eckel, who has built an international career and ministry finger painting Christian images. How did he realize this was his path? Can he haz paint a cheeseburger? 

Have a listen to learn more on it, his writing and other art.
