As you most likely know by now, RockOm provides a weekly podcast where we "discover and discuss the bond between music and spirituality" through interviews with relevant musicians. And while what we do is quite original, it doesn't mean we're the only Lego in the toybox.

Several other entities are pumping out spiritual music podcasts and we wanted to make sure you knew about these, added them to your podcast subscription list and make them a part of your listening schedule. But more importantly, this is your chance to share YOUR favorite podcasts that are related to sound and spirit. Be sure to leave your favorites in the Comments area below.
