Congregational Song Podcasts
Below is a list of podcasts that we are aware of that specifically address congregational song in a way that is not specifically tied to a publisher or record company. The staff of The Center for Congregational Song has vetted these podcasts and feel they represent our guiding stances.
Voices United – A Congregational Song Podcast
Hosted by Hymn Society president-elect Dr. Ben Brody, this is the official podcast of The Center for Congregational Song. It focuses on 1-on-1 interviews with leaders in the field of congregational song from a wide variety of traditions and styles.
Open Your Hymnal
Hosts Zack Stachowski and Matt Reichert interview composers and leaders since Vatican II. Most episodes explore a specific song that has been influential in Roman Catholic congregational song over the past fifty years by interviewing the composers, text-writers, and publishers of that hymn.
