Maggi Van Dorn is our guest on this special episode of Deacons Pod.

She is the host of the wonderful podcast “Hark! The Stories Behind Our Favorite Christmas Carols” from America Media.

The Paulist Deacon Affiliates ask Maggi about the deep dive she takes into the history, music, and lyrics of one specific Christmas carol or hymn on each installment of “Hark!” released during Advent.

As an example, Maggi tells the deacons about the history of “O Holy Night.”

Maggi shares that one of the upcoming hymns featured on “Hark!” will be “We Three Kings.” The episode will include thoughts from Eric Vanden Eykel, author of “The Magi,” who was a guest on Deacons Pod in December, 2022.
