Organ Safari

Simon finds an obstinacy of organs at the San Lorenzo Basilica of El Escorial. Featuring mad Dutchmen, Spanish gold, and potential for fire—in short, something for everyone.

Leah and Simon cross vast wildernesses to track down the Emperor's organ in Toledo, but have trouble picking it out from the ten pipe organs in the cathedral.

Simon and Leah get within a football field of the oldest working pipe organ in Portugal, at the Evora Cathedral.

Simon and Leah feel bad about the long wait for the Evora Cathedral episode, and so publish a mini-episode for appeasement purposes. The organ at the church of São Vicente de Fora is a big instrument with a personality to match.

Leah and Simon journey deep into the mountains north of Lisbon to track down the colony of organs of Mafra.

Simon and Leah introduce their new podcast.
