“Art & Soul” is the new podcast of the Center on Religion and Culture at Fordham University, hosted by David Gibson, director of the CRC, and Olivia Poust, assistant director of the CRC.

Based out of New York City, the culture capital of the world, “Art & Soul” explores the many ways that creativity, culture, and the arts connect with spirituality — or faith, or religion, or philosophy, or simply the quest for the truth of who we are and the truth of the world around us.
