For nearly a year, Anna Sale has been talking to people about love and life – and not just the fun parts. She’s the host of “ Death Sex & Money,” a podcast from WNYC about “the things we think about a lot, and need to talk about more.”

Now, just in time for Valentine’s Day, the show is out with its first hour-long radio special, “Real Love,” that features conversations with celebrities about their experiences with love, and stories from regular people about grappling with the harder aspects of relationships.

Here & Now’s Jeremy Hobson talks to Anna Sale about what she’s learned talking to so many people about the parts of love and partnership that we’re not always so quick to share.
