Taking its name from the Latin word spiro (which can mean literally to breathe or exhale but also figuratively to be alive, inspired, and expressive), this podcast tells stories of inspiring men and women through song. Each series is based upon the life of an inspiring individual in history, and each episode in that series contains original music as well as historical background behind the lyrics. This podcast highlights the beautiful marriage between music and history; at its purest form, history is telling stories, and ultimately the story of one person is also the story of you and me.
