Encounters is the first podcast from Stanford Arts. The four-part series delves into the evolving nexus of creative and scientific inquiry at the research ecosystem of Stanford University with host Denning Visiting Artist Janani Balasubramanian. Each episode explores how art catalyzes cross-disciplinary play–from the physics and metaphors of the interstellar medium to how information theory connects to mythology from the ancient past–featuring leading researchers, innovators, and thought visionaries.
