Hi everyone, Jonathan here.

Heavyweight will be back with a new episode next week.

But in the meantime, we wanted to share with you an episode of another show that we really

like.

It's called Death, Sex, and Money, and it's hosted by Anna Sale.

On the show, Anna interviews her guests about the topics that we usually tend to shy away

from in polite conversation, things like the titular, death, sex, and money.

I recently sat down with Anna.

Because I was sitting here, I was jotting down some last many questions, and the first

one that I wrote down was, did you ask inappropriate questions as a child?

Like I'm imagining you approaching your dad's friends and asking them how much they made

for a living.

I don't think I did that.

I definitely wondered.

Or how much sex they have, or when they were planning to die.

Anna has a real gift with people, whether it's talking to a TV weatherman about losing

his job after a sex photo leak, a new father about the surprising results of a paternity

test, or to actress Ellen Burstin about the illegal abortion she had at the age of 18.

It's amazing what Anna is able to pull from her subjects.

The concrete questions that other interviewers might find too crass to ask, I just ask

it.

All of us deal with hard things and uncomfortable things.
