The life of the great Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi is intertwined with his magnus opus the Sagrada Familia. It changed him and he changed ecclesial architecture with his imagination and genius.

The Cammino di Oropa is a 65km long trail in Piemonte, a region in the northeast of Italy.
Shrouded in mysticism and spirituality, this trail brought us through woods and up mountains, making us visit secluded monasteries and sleeping in cells in hilltop sanctuaries, and ultimately led us to the marvelous Basilica of Oropa where a unique religious symbol is kept hidden.

Today we look at the laying of the cornerstone of St Peters Basilica in 1526. It would become the biggest church in the world and its style would influence many others that were built.  We explore the difference between a basilica and a cathedral. We look at the claim that it was built over the tomb of the apostle Peter, and the history of pilgrimage there.  We also explore how it was funded, and how that could have sparked the Reformation. 

Our latest episode is an architectural and engineering wonder. The fact that the thing is still being built today, and won't be finished for another couple of years, is simply astonishing in todays age of fast builds. Come and discover the wonder that the La Sagrada Familia has to offer.

Basilica is a 4 piece “hair-slam” band out of Boone, North Carolina.  The term “hair-slam” hails from the draw of the earlier days of hair metal but with an updated twist.  They like to blend multiple flavors of metal to help create their sound.

The band had their self-titled album “Basilica” ready to go in the early days of 2020 but had to press pause on the release due to COVID.  They all took the time during COVID to keep their chops up and were able to work on their reach outside of the mountain range of the Appalachia Mountains.  The podcast featured “Grinding Teeth” on the “Does It Stank” segment and after hearing the track, decided to set up a chat to learn more.

Being a North Carolina boy himself, Ryan wanted to know how the music scene is fairing in the Carolinas.  The guys go in detail about how they go about spreading their sound throughout the surrounding areas.  They also discuss their signing to Innerstrength Records.

 With everyone being in school for music related studies, the guys go around the room and talk about their side projects.  Everything from country to R&B to Emo to math rock.  They all studied at the Hays School of Music at Appalachia State and essentially have all the bases covered with it comes to DIY.  

Todays featured track is “Grinding Teeth” of the self-titled album.

Celebrate Easter with our special guest, and TE guide, Federica, while she interviews Rob Allyn about his new virtual tour of St Peter's Basilica, new things they have learned about the Vatican City, and reminiscing on what it was like when they visited the world's largest church for the first time.

Modern church buildings. They leave a little lacking compared to the buildings of yore. Where's the architecture, art, reverence... it seems these things have been lost through the spread of various denominations over the course of hundreds of years. Is it necessary? Wasteful? Gaudy? Marvelous? We discuss this and more as we jump into our first "by request" topic written in from listener Norm!
