"I Promised I'd Make Her Laugh At Least Once A Day" With Guest Author Mark Steven Porro

Mark is a wonderful award winning writer, director and designer. While living in Hollywood, CA, he appeared in dozens of films, television and stage productions. He has scripted jokes, screenplays, greeting cards and more. Now he's celebrating the release of his book "A Cup of Tea on the Commode," his journey of ups and downs and learning the details of caring 24/7 for his adoring mother.

The book is full of hysterical stories of the six siblings growing up on a cult-de-sac in the suburban town of Ridgewood, NJ.

Becoming a first time parent as his mother's caregiver, Mark had many ups and downs but he knew that the most important thing was that his mother was taken care of with respect and love. He had to make sure that his mother trusted him and that she understood that he would always be respectful and have her best interests at heart.

"Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers and the roles they play in our lives. And my guests answer the question, 'are you who you are today because of, or in spite of, your mother'? You'll be amazed at what the responses are.

"Should Have Listened To My Mother" would not be possible without the generosity, sincerity and insight from my guests. In getting ready to launch my podcast, so many were willing to give their time and share their personal relationships with their mother.

Some of my guests include Baritone Singer Christopheren Nomura, Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist Tim Wacker, Activist Kim Miller, Freighter Sea Captain Terry Viscount, Film Production Manager Peg Robinson, Professor of Writing Montclair State University Dr. Bridget Brown, Tammy Steckler, attorney and family advocate @CUNY Law; NYC First Responder/NYC Firefighter Mark Heingartner, Child and Adult Special Needs Activist, Maryellen Valyo Cole and Roger Evens, Property Manager in New Jersey and so many more talented and insightful women and men.

I've worked in the broadcasting industry for over four decades. I've interviewed so many fascinating people including musicians, celebrities, authors, activists, entrepreneurs, politicians and more.

A big thank you goes to Ricky Soto, NYC based Graphic Designer, who created my logo for "Should Have Listened To My Mother".
