Now The 
Choir Loft returns as a podcast, with a rotating group of hosts including  Steve Osborn, Dan Solter,
​Amanda McFadden, Dianna Morgan, and Bob Worth, as well as guest hosts who will bring fresh perspectives. Each episode focuses on a style, genre, ensemble or composer, with a mix of the best available recordings
and illuminating commentary.
