"So that was a really important email that if I had not received, I would never have thought that I wanted to create a show. Because it was an invitation to write down on paper that little voice in the back of your head that I could really do this." -- Anna Sale, host of Death, Sex & Money

Before she was the host of Death, Sex & Money, Anna Sale was a beat reporter in the WNYC newsroom. Hear her podcast's origin story, along with more tales of jumping into the abyss, with Only Human’s Mary Harris, Note to Self’s Manoush Zomorodi, Another Round’s Tracy Clayton and Nerdette’s Tricia Bobeda.

Werk It: The Podcast is a compilation of the best moments from Werk It, a women's podcasting festival produced by WNYC Studios. Both the festival and the podcast are made possible by a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting with additional support from The Harnisch Foundation.
