Welcoming Anna Sale to (the last episode of) The Pod Club! After a season filled with incredible recommendations, plenty of laughter and a few too many f bombs, it’s time to go out with a bang. There was only one person we wanted to have on as a guest for the final show… Anna Saleof Death, Sex & Money! The iconic host who is never afraid to go there joins host Jo Piazza to get a little uncomfortable in the best possible way. From orgasms that feel like “sunshine in your veins”’ to the January 6th Capitol Attack to the overwhelming dumpster fire of parenting, we finish out the Pod Club with an episode that has a little something for everyone. As we say adieu, we want to say thank you to all of our listeners. We hope we made your journey through the podcastverse just a little bit easier because as we always say, life is too short to listen to bad podcasts.

Welcoming Noel King to The Pod Club! News fatigue is real. Constantly being reminded of the terrible things going on in our world is exhausting. That's why there's an art to delivering the news in a simple, honest, and entertaining way. Noel has mastered this art. She co-hosts Today, Explained, a news podcast that strikes the perfect balance: a sonic gem filled with topical information, on a daily basis, that doesn't leave you depressed and wanting to hide away from the world. For today’s episode, Noel takes a break from the persistent work of hosting a daily show to join Jo and talk about everything from how she fuels her brain, #awkward moments, and what she's listening to right now. Her recommendations are completely new to the Pod Club and include a variety of perspectives. Noel seeks out stories from many different angles—even ones she doesn’t agree with—and we can all learn from that. Because it’s not just about what you listen to, but also what you don’t.

Noel’s Show:
Today, Explained

Shows Mentioned:
EconTalk
Fall of Civilizations
Blocked and Reported 
Honestly with Bari Weiss

Welcoming Bridget Todd to The Pod Club! Jo and OG podcaster Bridget go way back, like lawn chairs. In this week’s episode the two of them ask the question we've all been wondering: why every podcaster tries to impersonate Ira Glass when they first get started (themselves included). Bridget has been making groundbreaking podcasts since 2008. She describes her current show, There Are No Women On The Internet, as a “tech show if a tech show were hosted by Lizzo'' where each week she tells the story of technology through the voices of marginalized people. Bridget pushes boundaries and buttons in audio and on the Internet and she's not afraid to use her platform to push for social change in a deeply entertaining way.
