Episode 9 in Saint Podcast's Martyrs season is about a very popular virgin saint. She’s unusual in that she was married – yet still died a virgin. Despite having no artistic skills whatsoever, she’s the patron saint of poetry, creativity, and music and has inspired musicians from Brahms to Simon and Garfunkel and the Foo Fighters! The name of the saint means 'blind', and the development of her legend after death is linked with those of an ancient goddess of eyesight. This is the story of Saint Cecilia the blind patron of music.
