A 101-Year-Old Rediscovers a Love Lost to War

Anna talks to Jonathan Goldstein, host of the Pushkin podcast Heavyweight , about the show getting a second chance after a long period of uncertainty, and how that time helped some of the stories they had been working on find a proper conclusion. Then we share one of our favorite episodes of Heavyweight , their recent season finale titled “ Deborah .” At 101 years old, Deborah discovered a box she'd stashed away a lifetime ago. What was inside reignited an old love and turned her life upside down. Heavyweight production by Phoebe Flanigan and Jonathan Goldstein. Death, Sex & Money is now produced by Slate!
