Episode description

Bestselling author and MacArthur genius George Saunders reads the second half of his story, "Tenth of December." George and Grammy Award-winning songwriter and fiddle player Amanda Shires (of The Highwomen) discuss art, suffering, and love over a lifetime. Amanda talks about the process of writing a song in response to the story, and shares a studio recording of "You Don't Get to Go."

This is part 2 of the story. For the first half you can listen to part 1 (episode 8). 

The song Amanda wrote for this song, "You Don't Get to Go" is available everywhere music streams, as is the song Ben wrote, "If You Need Me."
