SongWriter is a multimedia exploration of human experience based on the transformation of stories into songs. This exploration is delivered in the form of a podcast and related live performances, digital and print media, radio, and social media.
SongWriter will produce and distribute thirteen episodes exploring themes of human flourishing and featuring diverse, international artists. Each episode will feature a storyteller or author who tells a story on that episode's theme, a scientist who explains the underlying mechanics and associated research, and a songwriter who performs a song written in response. These episodes will be delivered across a variety of media outputs, with approximately 20 million impressions, in order to advance scientific and spiritual information, such as the interdisciplinary sciences of human flourishing.
