S3, E4: ‘The Biggest Winner’ w/ Bob Harper

Bob Harper is a reality TV legend (trust us, we remember being mesmerized by his hotness on primetime TV). The globally known fashionista, photographer, author and celebrity trainer starred first as a fitness coach on NBC’s The Biggest Loser and then as a host in the revival of the series. This, in turn, has thrust him to a special kind of stardom. His whole world nearly collapsed four years ago when, while in peak shape, he fell to a gym floor after suffering a heart attack. On this week’s episode of Why Here, Bob shares his near-death experience, explains the evolution of his queer identity and spills the tea on NY vs. LA gays. 📍Stream Episode 4 of Season 3 w/ @bobharper by following our feeds on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music & iHeartRadio.

Episode 3.3 - ‘How to Be An Icon’ w/ Mx. Justin Vivian Bond

We don't use the term icon loosely. But if singer, actor, activist and author Mx. Justin Vivian Bond (Viv for short) aren’t deserving, then no one we know is. As an NYC entertainment mainstay, their stage performances, sultry vocals and searing humor have kept a generation of New Yorkers in check. On this episode of Why Here, they explain what it was like trying to make people pay attention to pronouns decades ago, share how they intend to "sleigh" Christmas this year and respond to the trans-phobia that persists in the media around us. At the end, Viv’s co-conspirator Herb joins the chat for a fact check. It's effing good ... and funny. Trust us. 📍Stream Episode 3 of Season 3 w/ @mxviv by following our feeds on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music & iHeartRadio. Link in bio. 📷: Lia Clay Miller

EPISODE 3.1- ‘One Brave 10-Year-Old’ w/ Dempsey & Jaime Jara 🏳️‍⚧️

When Dempsey Jara told her parents she was a girl and not a boy (which she was presumed to be at birth) a light went off in their heads. They could either get behind their young daughter or fight it. They chose the former, and what unfolded is a journey that has literally changed the narrative on how trans kids are perceived in the U.S. and the world (as proved by a lot of media coverage). On the Season 3 opener of Why Here, hosts Benton and Tristan chat with 10-year-old Dempsey and her mother Jaime about national coming out day, transitioning at a young age, the anti-trans legislation sweeping the country, unicorns and — yes Benton — musicals.📍Stream Episode 1 of Season 3 w/ @dempseydreamer & @jaidonna19 by following our feeds on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music & iHeartRadio.
