So much is changing so rapidly right now with President Trump in office.

It feels good to pause for a moment sometimes and look around at what's what.

Just try and do that.

We've been finding these incredible stories about right now that are funny and have feeling,

and you get to see people everywhere making sense of this new America that we find ourselves in.

This American Life, wherever you get your podcast.

From W.H.Y.Y. In Philadelphia, this is Fresh Air Weekend. I'm Tanya Mosley.

Today, Michelle Williams talks about starring and dying for sex, a dark but funny series

based on a true story about a woman with stage four cancer who

facing death decides to take ownership of her sexual pleasure. It's something William says

she herself didn't really consider until recently. The consideration of one's own pleasure

was not in the conversation when I was coming of age.

It was, first of all, you shouldn't do it.

If you have to, you'll probably suffer a tragedy, get sick, or die.

Also, we hear from Sarah Snoke.

She's best known for her role on HBO's succession as Shiv Roy.

Snook was recently nominated for Tony for her performance on Broadway and the stage

adaptation of the picture of Dorian Gray.

That's coming up on Fresh Air Weekend.
