On this special episode, we’re featuring a conversation from our friends at Life in Seven Songs, the new podcast from The San Francisco Standard that dives deep into the minds of some of today’s greatest visionaries. Named a top new show by both Apple Podcasts and The Guardian, Life in Seven Songs asks one simple question: What songs tell your life story? In each episode, extraordinary people share the music and moments that have shaped their lives. Each episode, host Sophie Bearman sits down with guests like London Breed, the first Black woman to serve as Mayor of San Francisco, D'Wayne Wiggins, the record producer who discovered Beyoncé and helped artists like Zendaya become superstars; and Jony Ive, the creative genius behind Apple's iPhone. In this episode, Sophie speaks with Daniel Handler—better known as Lemony Snicket, the writer of A Series of Unfortunate Events. In the episode, Sophie and Daniel discuss his various works, and unpack why his novels often depict terrible things happening to people.
