Sale produces one of America’s most popular podcasts for WNYC radio in New York City. Death, Sex and Money is about the big questions and hard choices that are often left out of polite conversation.

Her guest will be Dwight Garner, a Fairmont native and former Charlestonian, who reviews books for the New York Times.

Former WVPB Reporter Anna Sale's 'Death, Sex & Money'

“Talking about death, sex, and money is not news. It’s not news to say: ‘sometimes long term relationships are hard’ or ‘sometimes it’s embarrassing when you realize you’re not earning enough money.’ That’s not a news story. As a result, when we hear those stories, it’s often in the first paragraph in a story about health insurance coverage and then the rest of it is about policy. Or, the first paragraph in a story about tax revenues in a state, you start with someone saying ‘I’m not making as much as I used to make.’ My argument is those stories are worth their own time. It’s worth pausing and listening to what that experience is.” –Anna Sale
