  • Stone Masons

    Episode 12 - The show about Joe Alonso and the Cathedral stone masons was very interesting. You should have him on again sometime as I’m sure he would have many stories to tell

  • Hello from Argentina!

    Love feeling connected to the cathedral when I’m so far away! This is a great idea not just for coronavirus but for people who no longer live close to the cathedral and miss it. Last week’s episode with the organist was my favorite so far. Can’t wait for more!
