Matt for President, he has got the diatribe of untruths down to a tee, just like DJT!! Also his moral compass is just as skewed!
Thank god for the fact checking squad of Holly, Simon, and Suzi to bring a sense of normality to the proceedings.
I love to listen to this podcast whilst on long dog walks, no Cluedo here, trying not to look like the village idiot laughing to myself.
This must be the number one podcast for dog walkers and Cluedo specialists alike. Makes the weekend more special list... more
No other podcast makes me laugh out loud, in stitches at Matts convoluted reasons to forgive! The righteous sisters Holly and Susie much needed to balance the scales and Father Simons explaining the pronunciation of Agincourt very 🤣
May this podcast last forever!
I thought it was time I sent in my 5* review! I have followed the confessions in all their incarnations since the start! Got the books and even went to a recording of the TV show back in the day. I crowned it all a couple of years ago by getting my very own confession read out. (Exchange student in Germany living with the lovely German couple!) If you want a podcast to make you feel better about yourself and have a really good laugh then this is the one for you. Simon, Matt, Holly and Suzie you ... more
A great source of fun and entertainment as the Father Simon and the team hear the broadcast confessions of 4 celebrants and a few nearly-confessions that won’t make it onto broadcast radio. Great to hear this in Germany after first listening in the UK (in 89?) It’s great binge listening every now and then as well as the regular scheduled uploads on Friday. Different times, circle of life, the system, remarkable voice skills and precise and somewhat less forgiving production; it’s all there as fo... more
So happy my favourite podcast is back! The triumphant trio returning to the waves genuinely brightens my day.
I missed it so much I started recommending it to anyone who would listen.
Thanks for the laughs and I hope you enjoy my confession submission!
