Cross Pollinated is a podcast about creative collaboration at the intersection of art and science. Each episode, host Kristen Orr randomly pairs a type of artist with a type of scientist and invites guests to imagine what they might create together. Unexpected ideas emerge through open-ended brainstorming and audience participation, then the conversation culminates with an impartial judge selecting the winning collaboration idea.
