Choral Evensong at the Washington National Cathedral Returns One of the treasures of the Anglican tradition, evensong is a service of sung evening prayer. The interspersing of music spanning from the Renaissance to the modern day, between familiar passages of scripture and ancient Photo: Colin S. Johnson/Washington National prayers, creates a contemplaCathedral tive mood. Lasting less than an hour, this service, on Sundays at 4 p.m., is a wonderful way to end the day or begin the week.

Ahead of Black History Month, National Geographic has launched a powerful new podcast, INTO THE DEPTH that uncovers the history of the transatlantic slave trade as it follows a group of Black divers who are dedicated to finding and helping to document slave shipwrecks. The podcast series trailer is now available on Apple Podcasts and wherever podcasts are found, as well as at natgeo.com/intothedepths. The six-part series, funded in part by the National Geographic Society, highlights the journey of National Geographic Explorer Tara Roberts (@curvypath_tara on Instagram), who quit her job and left her life behind to follow in the footsteps of Diving With a Purpose, a group of Black divers who traverse the globe in search of long-lost slave shipwrecks and the truth of the history that accompanies them. The podcast follows Roberts from Florida to Costa Rica, and from the continent of Africa back to Roberts’ family home in Edenton, North Carolina, where the journey quickly turns personal for her.
