Description

Join Tara Windibank and Cecilia Blackwell, co-founders of the Hildegard Collective and hosts of the Little Sparks Podcast, as they chat about all things faith and music! We’ve custom-tailored a podcast just for Catholic musicians, for the purposes of building community and cultivating important conversations. With plenty of special guest interviews, inspiring stories, and musical drama, you can expect lots of deep conversations and a healthy dose of hilarity, as these former college roommates take you through the peaks and valleys of life as a Catholic musician.
