Bill Wither's died this week of complications from heart disease.

He was our guest on our very first episode.

I reached out to him as a fellow West Virginian, and though he rarely gave interviews, he

agreed to do this one for a show that didn't yet exist that had a kind of funny name.

And it's one of the best conversations I've had.

Thank you, Mr. Wither's.

Don't worry about that, Chica.

If something bothers me, you know, I would say I don't want to talk about that.

I'm not that fragile, you know?

This is...

Yeah, sex and money.

Death is just a part of life.

The show from WNYC about the things we think about a lot.

Do you like sex?

And need to talk about more.

There's more to life than a little money in them.

I'm Anna Sail.

Who in the world would come over the title like that?

It's all the essential stuff, right?

Yeah, yeah.

If you reverse them, it's a story of a lot of people's lives.

That's a story of rock and roll, right?
