You need this podcast in your life, it is so funny. Matt should be president, he turns any confession in to humour! Simon does the BEST accents. 5 MILLION STARS.
This podcast is fabulous. I listen while out on walks and I can see fellow walkers staring at me strangely because I laugh out loud continually.
Father Simon, Brother Matt, and Sisters Suzie and Holly. Me and my dad are on the North Coast 500 right now, and your podcast is helping to keep us going (alongside crisps and snacks)! Love the Accents from Simon, MATT (no best bits just MATT in general) and the lack of mercy from sisters Suzie and Holly. Thanks again for such a lovely podcast! ps. Loved Simon’s rendition of the Fairy liquid song from last season, not sure if you’ll remember it but we loved it.
This is the greatest podcast in the galaxy and is scientifically proven to add years to your life!

We especially loved the 2025 Confessions of the Year and the poor man getting his bum stuck in the bucket.

Best podcast ever. Mat should rule the universe and the rest of the holy Trinity should have a planet each. Me and my mum loved our mug thanks very much. Best church team to ever exist

The show features a rotating panel of hosts and a steady flow of confessional submissions, read aloud and discussed with humor, warmth, and a forgiving verdict. Conversations pivot around personal missteps, funny family moments, workplace blunders, and long-running behind-the-scenes chaos, all anchored by light banter, pop culture references, and audience participation. Noteworthy is the consistent emphasis on forgiveness and community, with a mix of long-form guest confessions and Not-For-Broadcast bits that keep the tone cheeky yet approachable. A standout is the ensemble dynamic: rapid voice work, distinct hosting personas, and a willingness to laugh at private tales while offering moral reflections, which makes it engaging for listeners... more
