A Conversation with Amanda Almodovar, Musician and Playwright



Amanda Almodovar is the wearer of many hats. By day she's a clinical social worker, but in her free time this Catholic mother of three loves writing plays and composing music. Today's podcast explores everything from the nature of that creative spark of inspiration to the unique role of the Christian artist. A wonderful account was also shared of the significance of Saint Hildegard of Bingen to Amanda's own rich spiritual and creative life.
