Claire North, author of the new book Ithaca, interacts with words and colors in a different way than almost anyone you have ever met. Claire has synesthesia, a condition that means she interacts with words and colors in a very unique way. This helps her in her "day" job where she lights live music performances.

In this discussion, we talk about her experience with live music lighting, the colors of Adam's voice, and so much more. This is a fascinating conversation that leads into how she constructs sentences and stories including for her latest book!
