Join us for a moderated Q&A with Susan Burton, the host, writer, reporter, and co-producer of the Peabody Award-winning podcast The Retrievals, from Serial Productions and the New York Times. She is also the author of the memoir Empty, which tells the story of the eating disorders she kept secret for decades. For years she worked at This American Life, where she produced, edited, wrote, or reported some of the show’s most memorable stories and episodes about women’s lives.
