John Wesley Harding and The Swerve

Studio 360

This week, singer-songwriter-turned-novelist John Wesley Harding performs live in the studio. And Kurt Andersen digs deep into a new book called The Swerve — it’s the story of how an ancient Roman poem predicted radical philosophical, scientific, even sexual ideas centuries before their time. Plus we uncover the secret life of the jazz bandleader Ina Ray Hutton.
