Sounds and Words, A Podcast with a Difference explores the somewhat crowded intersection of the arts and faith, but it aims to take frequent detours across new and largely unexplored neighboring areas of interest.  Created by author Karl Erickson who joined the Catholic Church with his wife and children in 2015, the podcast delves into many areas of great interest to today's Catholic community--as well as those still spiritually searching.  One week, for instance, it may focus on a visit to Rome or London, while the next show may explore the meaning of sacred space or even take a hard look at the current political environment.  Topics will vary across these general themes. Listeners may also share their preferences with the podcaster through e-mail or social media contacts.  Expect new podcasts to be shared every several weeks, or so.  The length will be an average of twenty minutes until the show gains a following.

If you are looking for fresh and timely content that remains largely timeless in its explorations, then you need look no further than "Sounds and Words."
