She Pivots with Sarah Jones

Tony Award–winning actor and writer Sarah Jones has built a career blending culture, politics, and humor — all while embodying a kaleidoscope of unforgettable characters. In our final live episode recorded at the Aspen Ideas Festival, Sarah joins Emily for a conversation about her groundbreaking podcast, America, Who Hurt You?, which puts the nation on the “therapy couch” to explore our shared values and cultural divides. She reflects on key moments that shaped her journey, from growing up in a multicultural, mixed-race family in Queens to performing on Broadway. Along the way, she introduces the audience to the many voices in her head (and on her stage), reflecting the diverse perspectives that make up America. Sarah also opens up about the role of social media in our disconnection and emphasizes the urgency of in-person connection.
