Death, Sex & Money

Call It ‘A Midlife Awakening’


Listen Later

Anna talks to writer Ada Calhoun, author most recently of the novel Crush, about a married woman succumbing to extramarital temptation (she wrote it while she herself was separating from her husband) and then to comedian Rosebud Baker about her new Netflix comedy special, The Mother Lode, which is all about late-stage pregnancy and early motherhood.

This episode was recorded live at On Air Fest in New York City on February 20th.
