    Listening to Matt’s podcast on the drive home from work cheers me up after a busy day. Funniest thing in podcast land. Matt is superb! His team are also very good.

  • Give me a laugh!

    Love, love, love the confessions! They really cheer me up!

    I’ve worked my way through the back catalogue whilst at work as an online shopper! My favourite was Deb in Cuba in the bushes! I’ve had my fellow shoppers ask why I was laughing, I explained I was listening to yourselves so I’m trying to convert them. I have managed to get my partner to now listen too! Thanks Simon and the team for making my shifts fly by! Love the drive time show too! Rosie

  • What a belter!

    Been a huge fan of confessions since the 90s in the very dim and dark past of R1. Love the bants. Holly and Suzie rock and add much needed stability. Matt is a loveable tinker with a big heart for eternal forgiveness! And Simon retains his legend status throughout. What’s not to like - download today!

  • You are back but I am late to the party

    Great to find you again Simon and the gang, I have started listening from the start 107 confessions.

    Matt is so funny always forgiving everyone and quiet right to, Simon and the vocal dexterity and then the voice of sense always not forgiving. I find myself laughing out loud when walking the dogs and driving. I started listening to the old confessions on the dark side but now all new and happy, keep up the good work and don’t go anywhere again.
