WNYC Studio’s podcast Death, Sex & Money is featuring a new series “The 2019 Maternity Leave Lineup,” with notable guest hosts in conversation with interviewees of their choosing. The stellar lineup of hosts are standing in while host and creator Anna Sale is on maternity leave.
The series debuts April 10 with trailblazing journalist Lisa Ling interviewing actress and rapper Awkwafina, who recently starred in the films Crazy Rich Asians and Ocean’s 8. New episodes will be released each Wednesday.
On April 17, John Cameron Mitchell — screen and stage actor currently starring in the critically acclaimed series Shrill — interviews cabaret legend Marilyn Maye, who appeared on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson a record 76 times. On April 24, essayist and Very Smart Brothas Editor-in-Chief Damon Young will interview Kiese Laymon, author of Kirkus Prize finalist Heavy: An American Memoir.
“_Death, Sex & Money _has always been about talking together about life’s most important, but sometimes uncomfortable, topics,” said Sale. “One of the best parts of making it has been hearing how the show inspires listeners to talk more honestly to people that they care about and admire. So I’m thrilled to be able to listen along as these wonderful guest hosts and guests have the kind of frank conversation our show is known for. It’s a joy to share our platform as a place for these conversations to unfold. It’s one more way maternity leave rules!”
