Display content from two different CPTs in one template

Is there a way to pull content from two different CPT pods and blend it together by using one single custom template?

If both CPT pods use a common Custom Taxonomy pod, can my template ‘find’ content based on the Custom Taxonomy pod rather than the CPT pods?

I’ve been using templates which pull from a single CPT pod:

$xyz = pods('my_cpt_pod', $params);

Can I ‘find’ content from a Custom Taxonomy pod instead, using a similar method:

$abc = pods('my_custom_taxonomy_pod', $params);

Is there a better way? Any way to blend content from 2 CPT pods?
