This episode of Life After News is part of a series of podcasts by Jason Ball that dives deep into what happens after the headlines fade.

Tamsen Fadal was a news anchor at WPIX in New York for 15 years. Prior to that, she was a news anchor in Pittsburgh, Orlando, Charleston and Philadelphia.

In the latest edition of Life After News, Jason Ball sits down with Fadal to talk about leaving behind a 30-year broadcast career to champion a long-overdue conversation: menopause, midlife, and women’s health.

Ball’s podcasts are titled Life After News: New chapters. Bold moves. Real stories.

Ball has nearly 35 years’ experience in local TV news as a producer, executive producer, podcaster and news director at stations in Memphis, Miami and Los Angeles.

In this interview with Ball, Fadal opens up about her on-air health scare in 2019, how it became the catalyst for a seismic personal and professional shift, and why she chose to tackle one of society’s biggest taboos.

Now an award-winning documentary producer, author of How to Menopause, and host of her own podcast, Fadel is rewriting the narrative of what it means to thrive at midlife.

“This is the most important story I’ve ever told—and the most personal,” Fadel says.
