You know those conversations you play over and over and over in your head, but find really difficult to actually have?

That's exactly what Death's Sex and Money does. It gets those thorny issues out into the open.

It's hosted by Anna Sal, who has surprisingly comfortable conversations with her guests about uncomfortable topics,

like the highs and lows of divorce, about near-death experiences and funny one-night stands.

All of these things shape the way we live and the decisions we make.

Some of her guests are famous, some not, and very often they're from the community of listeners, all talking about what we're figuring out as we go along.

I'll teach you simple money lessons so you don't make the same mistakes I did.

Her dad used to be this local rock and roll musician who eventually got a job fixing computers.
