SongWriter is a podcast that turns stories into songs, and features performances by Questlove, Joyce Carol Oates, David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), Roxane Gay, Craig Finn (The Hold Steady), and more. In this special live recording event, bestselling author Susan Orlean (The Orchid Thief, The Library Book) will share a story from her recent collection On Animals, and local songwriter Diana Gameros will play a brand new song written in response. SongWriter’s creator, Ben Arthur, will host and engage the artists in a conversation about animal intelligence with UC Berkeley researcher Laura Simone Lewis.
