I wrote the main part of this episode about something someone said to me more than 50 years ago. It was just a casual remark from a young women I had just started going out with, but it directly affected how I saw myself. Here I look back with humor at her comment, one whose honesty provided me, at a young age, with more self-awareness than anything a more restrained person might have said.
The Kvetching Professor thought he was Mr. Cool when he was a college student and went out with an attractive student nurse. But then she said something that changed his self-image – and not for the better. But now, only 50 years later, he can laugh about it … and so will you!Here’s more about The Kvetching Professor Podcast by Mark Sherman.
An emeritus professor of psychology shares his wit and wisdom in these short and pithy episodes.
Mark Sherman has written seriously on gender issues, especially about his concern for how boys and young men are doing in our country. But he is also a humorist, whose funny songs have entertained many and whose humor column has run for more than 30 years in his local award-winning newspaper, the New Paltz Times.
For the past 13 plus years he has read some of his top columns to enthusiastic audiences from all over the world at the Mohonk Mountain House, a historic and very popular resort hotel situated on beautiful grounds on the nearby Shawangunk mountain ridge.
Encouraged by the response to his readings, in the spring of 2018 Mark began recording a podcast, in which each episode features one of his funniest columns. His podcast is titled “The Kvetching Professor” (“kvetch” means to complain); since he actually did teach psychology for well over 25 years, it will enlighten as well as amuse listeners.
