What do you do when your beloved friend is dying to live a more sexually adventurous life before she loses her battle with cancer? Well, if you're Nikki Boyer, you start a podcast. Nikki is a singer, actress, Emmy winner, and the co-producer with her soulmate Molly of the hit podcast (turned Hulu series), Dying for Sex. We learn how she became an actor, met Molly, and how their friendship has changed her life, and is very likely changing how a lot of us think about–and talk about–sex and death. She made us laugh and cry, and want to love everyone around us a little bit harder.
