An Evensong meditation by the Rev. Canon Salmoon Bashir for the Feast of the Confession of St. Peter (January 18, 2026) at the Episcopal Cathedral of St. Philip, Atlanta 

Stewart O' Nan's fiction has always paid close attention to the people and relationships that shape us. In his new novel “Evensong” he brings that attention to bear on a vivid cast orbiting Emily Maxwell as she enters her 90s. This is the concluding chapter in a trilogy that began with “Wish You Were Here” and continued in “Emily Alone” and it widens the lens to explore not only Emily's interior life but the network of care surrounding her.

An Evensong meditation by the Rev. Canon George Maxwell on the Third Sunday of Advent (December 14, 2025) at the Episcopal Cathedral of St. Philip, Atlanta

His 2007 novel, Last Night at the Lobster, was a national bestseller and a finalist for the Los Angeles TimesBook Prize. Granta named him one of America's Best Young Novelists.  His new novel is Evensong.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We're legitimately chatting all things movies on the (TV) podcast this week as Aimee Lou Wood and Suranne Jones join us to chat Film Club on BBC3 (37:11-53:10), Plus Jodie Whittaker (sans Suranne) pops by to talk all things Frauds on ITV (1:04:03-1:23:34). Meanwhile, we catch up with Adjani Salmon for the second series of Dreaming Whilst Black on BBC3 (1:38:38), and delve into ecclesiastical crime solving with Murder Before Evensong on Channel 5 (1:48:45). All that, and a labyrinthine discussion fo Boydy's bedtime habits, as well as a new foray into the world of Steph's true crime watchlist as we prepare for Kay's return later this week. Note: time stamps are approximate as the ads throw them out, so are only meant as a guide. If you want to avoid this and would like the podcast entirely ad-free (as well as 17 hours early, with a second weekly show and spoiler specials) then sign up to Pilot+!

A sermon preached by Fr. Sean McDermott for the Feast of Our Lady of Walsingham on Wednesday, September 24, 2025 at All Saints Anglican Church in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Like Churchill himself, St Paul's Cathedral defied the Blitz and stood as a beacon of hope in the darkest days of the Second World War. Allen Packwood revisits some of the key moments when their paths crossed and considers how they influenced one another. A sermon by Ray Pentland CB from the Service of Evensong prior to this event is referenced several times in the talk.

In this episode of PlanningXchange, we speak with Peter O'Leary, whose planning career spans an impressive five decades. Peter began his journey in the mid-1970s as a cadet in local government, rising through the ranks to senior management. He later moved into the private sector before serving over 11 years as a Tribunal Member at VCAT, where he presided over a broad range of planning matters. Following his time on the bench, Peter returned to consultancy, specialising in mediation and dispute resolution. We explore each phase of his remarkable career, drawing on his insights into what makes an effective advocate, a fair and capable decision-maker, and a resilient professional. Peter offers thoughtful guidance for planners at every stage—whether just starting out, navigating mid-career, or reflecting on a lifetime of service. Few reach the milestone of 50 years in the profession—fewer still with such breadth of experience. This is a generous and candid conversation with a true planner's planner. In Culture Corner / Podcast Extra: Peter recommends The Incredible Life of Hubert Wilkins: Australia's Greatest Explorer – Wikipedia – and the documentary Maya and the Wave – mayaandthewave.com. Jess suggests attending professional conferences for inspiration and renewal. Pete offers a couple of classic comforts: hot water bottles on cold nights and the contemplative beauty of Evensong at Church. Podcast released 26 July 2025

Church of England revs with a difference Daniel French and Jamie French are joined by former Old Bailey judge and lay minister Charles Wide KC for a deep dive into the shady world of Project Spire: the Church Commissioners' project to give £100 million rising to £1 billion of Church of England money to communities and people ostensibly disadvantaged by the historic legacy of slavery. But has this project been carried out ethically and with proper legal and intellectual safeguards and are its representatives being fully transparent about what is really going on behind the scenes? Do the Church Commissioners even have the legal right to give away money that was never intended for such usage?All that plus our take on who the next Archbishop of Canterbury should be and all the usual banter.Please enjoy and thanks for listening to the podcast!Livestream for Evensong at Pusey House, Weds. 19th Feb 5.30pm, with Rev Jamie SermonArticles Mentioned:The Case Against Reparations - Charles Wide KC, The Rev'd Professor Lord Biggar and Dr Alka Sehgal CuthbertProject Spire: A Dubious Waste of the Church of England's Money - Charles Wide, KCThe Church of England's Historic Links to the Transatlantic Slave Trade - Lawrence Goldman and Robert TombsDaniel French Substack: https://undergroundchurch.substack.com/Jamie Franklin Substack: https://jamiefranklin.substack.comIrreverend Substack: https://irreverendpod.substack.comPre-order Jamie's new book The Great ReturnPlease Support the Podcast!You make Irreverend possible.

“Seek him who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns deep darkness into the morning, and darkens the day into night.” That verse, from Amos 5:8, is one of the opening sentences in our Evensong liturgy. Dean Sam Candler talks about Orion  in a special “Dean's Forum,” presentation about the constellation, Orion! Watch the video with slides at https://youtu.be/mIh6lsaEfxE

On a winter's night in 1951, shortly after Evensong, the interior of St Paul's Cathedral echoed with gunfire. This was no act of violence but a scientific demonstration of new techniques in acoustic measurement. It aimed to address a surprising question: could a building be a musical instrument? Pistols in St Paul's: Science, Music, and Architecture in the Twentieth Century (Manchester University Press, 2024) by Dr. Fiona Smyth tells the fascinating story of the scientists, architects and musicians who set out to answer this question. Beginning at the turn of the century, their innovative experiments, which took place at sites ranging from Herbert Baker's Assembly Chamber in Delhi to Abbey Road Studios and a disused munitions factory near Perivale, would come to define the field of 'architectural acoustics'. They culminated in 1951 with the opening of the Royal Festival Hall - the first building to be designed for musical tone. Deeply researched and richly illustrated, Pistols in St Paul's brings to light a scientific quest spanning half a century, one that demonstrates the power of international cooperation in the darkest of times. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Music Matters host Darrell Craig Harris speaks with popular ambient/new-age music artist Kevin Keller about the release of his latest album "Evensong" Darrell and Kevin also cover composing, collaboration, and more in this fun and insightful episode!    More on Kevin Keller and his latest release   Evensong is an 8-movement album that not only revives Hildegard's sacred music but also brings her transcendental visions into the contemporary world, offering an immersive experience that blurs the lines between past and present, mysticism and music. Keller enriches her ancient compositions with layers of modern textures—combining strings, vocals, and analog synthesizers—to transform these chants into vivid soundscapes that feel simultaneously timeless and contemporary. At the heart of Evensong is an ambitious attempt to channel Hildegard's spiritual visions, offering audiences a way to experience them in a way that wasn't possible in her time. Kevin has been a leading figure in the new-age music scene for over 30 years, with 14 albums that fuse classical and electronic music in deeply evocative ways. This milestone release represents a significant leap in his artistic journey, and with the GRAMMY's “New Age” category recently expanding to include ambient and chant music, Evensong is primed to make a powerful impact.   www.KevinKeller.com www.Instagram.com/kevinkellerpro https://open.spotify.com/artist/1MpofLeuema5D0edeUEoAD?si=vV7MQgcHSSaMBEG_o75CFw Music Matters with Darrell Craig Harris is sponsored by Shure Microphones.

Gail Godwin has written 18 books. Many of her novels were best sellers including Evensong. Three of them were finalists for the National Book Award. Her book Grief Cottage features a boy who has a relationship with a ghost. Godwin says she herself has seen ghosts. When she was a reporter, an apparition dressed in a medical uniform used to visit her in the middle of the night. Godwin's new book is a memoir. It opens with the story of how the writer, who's 87, went into her back yard to water her dogwood tree, wound up falling on her face and breaking her neck. We talk about how curiosity saved her in her darkest moments. “Now What?” is produced with help from Steve Zimmer, Lucy Little and Jackie Schwartz. Audio production is by Nick Ciavatta.
