Thursday, April 16, 2020: Saleema Nawaz, Barenaked Ladies and more

Today on q, with host Tom Power:

• Author Saleema Nawaz talks about her new novel, Songs for the End of the World — an almost unbelievably prescient story about a global coronavirus pandemic.

• Toronto-born filmmaker Richard J. Lewis discusses how the existential themes of HBO's Westworld speak to our current world crisis.

• Barenaked Ladies' Ed Robertson talks about how the band is doing right now and how they got the idea for their quarantine "selfie cam jams."

• Medical illustrator Alissa Eckert explains how she approaches visualizing something that's invisible to the naked eye: infectious diseases.
