As the daughter of Johnny Cash, singer-songwriter
Rosanne Cash describes her life as one “circumscribed by music.” But, it’s through her love of language and quantum mechanics that she’s finding new sources of creativity and mathematical ways to think about the divine.

The show was recorded at the Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis and includes several live songs performed by Cash and featuring her husband John Leventhal. Download the episode or read the transcript of the interview here.
