THE BEST podcast of all time! Father Simon, Brother Matt and the rest of the spiritual gang, what holy joy you bring to my week. Though I may live far away in Australia , I have been a committed follower for many, many years. When I found that confessions had returned after a few wilderness years, I cannot begin to tell you how much my heavenly spirit was uplifted. Keep up the amazing work and promise never to leave us loyal listeners again. Xox K

I have been listening since the very start, many years ago. Grass seed in carpets and kippers in the curtain poles; all in revenge for being dumped. 😂😂. Wonderful!!! I have just refound you since the insanity of ‘the other place’. Hurrah for GHR and catching up on everything I have missed. Love your relationship with Matt, his laugh should be on prescription. I do wish you, Simon, would give your judgements. All your years of judicial service should be put to a reverential use. Glorious!!!
