SouthBound: Anna Sale Talks About Hard Things, Including (Of Course) Death, Sex And Money

This episode was a little intimidating for me, because I’m interviewing one of the best interviewers in the world.

Anna Sale

Anna Sale is the host of the podcast “Death, Sex & Money,” which time and again dares to talk about the most uncomfortable parts of being human – and by doing that, makes us feel a little less alone.

Sale has a new book that goes even further into some of those uncomfortable places. It’s called “Let’s Talk About Hard Things.” So Sale and I talked about some hard things. Friendship. Family. How growing up in the South helps define who we are.

I learned some things about who Anna Sale is … and I think you will, too.
