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 Sale of 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.  Anna’s Show:Death, Sex & MoneyHard Shows Mentioned:The 11th: LOVEWill be Wild Canary Childproof Abortion Resources: https://abortion.cafe/ - this is a collection of abortion resources shoutyourabortion.com - this is a campaign to normalize abortion https://donations4abortion.com/ - donate to support abortion funds by state https://secure.actblue.com/donate/supportabortionfunds - donate to the national network of abortion funds (donations split between 80+ abortion funds) https://usow.org/repro/volunteer/ - this is a list of abortion clinics across the country that need volunteers https://dontbanequality.com/ - this is language for companies to use to stand against the ruling plancpills.org/ambassadors - here are early abortion access pills you can store in your cabinet https://prochoice.org/ - this is an abortion access hotline https://natalist.com/products/early-pregnancy-test-strips - buy early pregnancy test strips https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/birth-control - get info on types of birth control https://choice.crd.co/ - this is a collection of these above links and more.

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.

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.  Bridget’s Show:There Are No Girls On The Internet Shows Mentioned:Our NatureFlash Forward Being Seen Abortion Resources: https://abortion.cafe/ - this is a collection of abortion resources shoutyourabortion.com - this is a campaign to normalize abortion https://donations4abortion.com/ - donate to support abortion funds by state https://secure.actblue.com/donate/supportabortionfunds - donate to the national network of abortion funds (donations split between 80+ abortion funds) https://usow.org/repro/volunteer/ - this is a list of abortion clinics across the country that need volunteers https://dontbanequality.com/ - this is language for companies to use to stand against the ruling plancpills.org/ambassadors - here are early abortion access pills you can store in your cabinet https://prochoice.org/ - this is an abortion access hotline https://natalist.com/products/early-pregnancy-test-strips - buy early pregnancy test strips https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/birth-control - get info on types of birth control https://choice.crd.co/ - this is a collection of these above links and more.

Welcoming Delilah to The Pod Club!  In this week’s episode, host Jo Piazza is joined by radio legend and podcaster to talk about all the things from empathy to roller skating to the evolution of audio.

While she remains a pioneer in the radio world, Delilah joins Jo to talk about how she has adapted to the podcast landscape to bring us two new shows in the past few years. Hey, It’s Delilah is a 5-minute appetizer to the full meal show Love Someone with Delilah. Whether you are looking for advice, a laugh, or just an audio hug, this week’s episode has it all.

Welcoming Kate Kennedy to The Pod Club! In this week’s episode, host Jo Piazza is joined by the chat show queen herself Kate Kennedy to, you know, chat. On her show Be There in Five, she chats with herself about everything from dating apps to the decision to have children to the seemingly lavish world of influencers. Today, she’s on The Pod Club to talk with Jo about the magical world of podcasting. Nothing is off limits as they discuss Kate’s favorite dating shows, how she stays up-to-date on pop culture, and most importantly, how she does the impossible: carries a show on her own without a cohost.  Kate’s Show: Be There in Five Shows Mentioned: Bitch SeshLas CulturistasEverything IconicGirls Gotta EatSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode will make you laugh, teach you something new (bet you didn’t know Alan Greenspan loves jazz music and a good dirty joke), and ultimately make you feel like you are sitting there with Jo and Ali as they chat on the couch.

Welcoming Claire & Erica to The Pod Club! We make so many choices in a single day that sometimes we just want to be told what to do, what to buy, what to listen to, what to eat. But recommendations, good recommendations are both an art and a science. Claire Mazur and Erika Cerulo, the hosts of the podcast A Thing Or Two are masters of the good recommendation. These best friends turn on their mics every week to tell us, in their words, “the next big thing when it is still a small thing.” This week, they are on The Pod Club to give a recommendation or two, or actually a lot of recommendations. From gossipy chat shows to series that feature the voices of older generations, Claire & Erica are sure to show you something new that will bring comfort to your daily listening.  Claire & Erica’s Show: A Thing or Two Shows Mentioned: Jam SessionCelebrity Book ClubEvery Outfit Keep It! 70 Over 70Call Your Grandmother Anything for SelenaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcoming Allison Behringer to The Pod Club! Allison Behringer launched Bodies independently in 2018 and it is a testament to how honest stories can truly make a difference in peoples’ lives. Over 3 seasons Bodies has grown into this fascinating and moving collection of stories that empower people to understand their own bodies and advocate for themselves even when the medical establishment might brush them off. From STIs to painful sex to Autism Spectrum Disorder, every episode pulls back the curtain on what it's really like to have an unsolved health issue. Unfortunately, it’s not as easy as doctors on TV make it look. Our healthcare system is way more screwed up than that.   Allison’s Show: Bodies Shows Mentioned: Death, Sex, & Money This is Uncomfortable  Tulsa BurningSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
