A Former Pro Climber On Enduring Chronic Illness
This week, we get an update from Mason Earle, a former professional rock climber who we spoke to back in 2021. Mason had been diagnosed with ME/CFS, commonly called chronic fatigue syndrome, and he discussed his former career, how he was adjusting to life and marriage with a disability, and why he doesn't miss rock climbing. This week, Mason shares what he’s been up to since we last spoke.

Four Interviews and a Funeral
When we heard that Death, Sex, & Money was coming to an end at WNYC, we decided there was only one thing to do: throw ourselves an in-person goodbye celebration. In this week’s episode, you’ll hear audio from “Four Interviews and a Funeral,” a show we hosted at Caveat in Manhattan. In it, Anna talks to past guests, like comedian Chris Gethard, Lawrence and Ronnine Bartley, mover Adonis Williams, and NYC’s subway voice, Bernie Wagenblast about their experiences with endings and life transitions. Also, actress Ellen Burstyn reads a poem, Anna gives a eulogy for the show, and The Outer Borough Brass Band plays us home.
Read more about the event in The New Yorker here, and sign up for Anna’s new newsletter where you can read her weekly musings, hear from other listeners, and get updates about the future of the show.

Customer Reviews
Unique and intriguing and soothing
Thanks for the wonderful topics and expanding my views 🥰
Bring back the old style episodes
The valentines episode is the 3rd time you have played that episode. Seriously? Another rerun with no new content this week. Replaying old episodes with zero new episodes is not podcasting. Such a dumb move.
I’m miss when you talked about things like death, sex, and money. Now it’s just boring interviews with people no one has ever heard of. Bring back the juicy episodes! So many reviews say this, you gotta listen to us Anna!
All-time BEST
Big thanks to Slate for picking up Death, Sex & Money. Knowing I wouldn’t be able to listen to Anna Sale was almost like experiencing a break up. I’ve been listening to this podcast since 2020 and there’s nothing like it. I’ve saved the following episodes because they’re worth the re-listening: 424, 409,393,385,364,356 and 304.
I frequently share these episodes either family, friends, loved ones & colleagues because it helps me communicate subjects that are necessary but too uncomfortable to talk about.
