Australiaa month ago - Stick with it!
I really enjoy this podcast. Like really really. I will say that season 3 was rough with the funky, almost AI, voice they used, but season 5 has more than made up for it in the few episodes that have dropped so far. Reading the books alone is good, but having the commentary really opens up more understanding. Keep it up! And Ascension, please keep this podcast going and coming out with the books. I have all of them and love how they look and feel!

United Statesa month ago - What happened to the 4th season?
I previously enjoyed this podcast. The 4th season was announced but it was never made available! Where is it?
Apple Podcasts1Fruga1United States7 months ago - Incredibly Disappointing
The first three seasons were great! Now, for Season 4, they release one episode here on Apple Podcasts to say you can’t listen to this on Apple anymore. You have to download their own, special app. Moreover, to date, all books have been written by Doctors of the Church. For Season 4, we get the book that primed Europe for the Protestant Reformation. What a misguided choice for a book and what a calculated capitalist move to trap people into downloading yet another app. This is disappointing.

I am having a very hard time navigating to the correct episode of the Confessions podcast. The content is wonderful, but I spend more time locating the episode than I do listening to the podcast.
