Great songs capture our imaginations and reveal truths about the human experience, transmuting stories into sound. Ben Arthur explores this alchemy on his podcast “SongWriter.” Each episode, Arthur challenges a musician to compose one original song based on the writing of literary greats like George Saunders, Neil Gaiman and Joyce Carol Oates. Arthur and two California-based songwriters – Mexican-American singer Diana Gameros, and Hector Flores of the band Las Cafeteras – join us to talk about their creative process and the stories that resonate with them. And we hear from you: What’s a story or song that has inspired you?
