As the creator and host of “Death, Sex & Money" – the hit podcast about "the things we think about a lot and need to talk about more” – Anna Sale has tackled her fair share of tough questions. In this episode, Anna shares the songs that helped her navigate life’s most uncertain moments – from leaving her home in West Virginia for Silicon Valley’s limitless possibilities, to figuring out how a radio reporter in New York City could build a life with a wildlife ecologist in Wyoming, to the moment her beloved show was (briefly) cancelled. Here are her songs:
- Bill Withers - Lean on Me
- Luscious Jackson - Here
- The Flaming Lips - Do You Realize
- Lucinda Williams - Side of the Road
- Townes Van Zandt - If I Needed You
- Sly and The Family Stone - Que Sera Sera Whatever Will Be Will Be
- Tony Toni Tone - Feels Good
