We chat with Bruce Benedict about the latest Cardiphonia news and releases, a bit about the history, and some other fun projects going on.

That and the LitFel News, with new books, music, and other releases (a Children's musical!), your favourite 70's and 80's worship songs, along with fun questions like should secular songs be sung in a worship service?
