  • Turn around bright eyes & other tales
    Dec 20 2024

    Prepare yourself for a festive feast of mischief, mayhem and more confessions than Saint Nick's naughty list can handle, as Father Simon and the Confessional collective open their ears to a new generation of sinners and mischief makers.

    Vicky shares her sticky situation in 'What's happened with the fruit jelly's Grandma? Which is basically a gross tale involving eating someone else sucked sweets. Elizabeth causes a stir when a not so legal Police woman helps throw Kevin a 21st he'll never forget - Baby what a BIG Surprise. 'Not Mother of the Year' has a 7 year old chocolate lie that nearly involved an epi-pen and Terry takes us down Christmas memory lane for Turn around bright eyes.

    For those that can handle it the Not for Broadcast section brings us 'sick in a handbag' at the office party. Plus there's a Parish Noticeboard mix up, and insight into what Matt bought with his first pay check and how it's always best to water then pray!

    Whether you're decking the halls or hiding from the in-laws, this episode will have you laughing, wincing and maybe even confession yourself.

  • Run baby run & other tales
    Dec 13 2024

    Hold on to your lederhosen because this week's episode is packed with outrageous confessions that will leave you laughing, cringing and questioning humanity just a little bit.

    This week Father Simon and the collective tackle the sins of Frits, whose festive prank saw his mate don Bavarian lederhosen and fake a German accent at a Christmas light switch on, only to be hailed as a 'star guest' by the local paper and end up alongside the mayor for the big moment. Tamzin who mistook a stranger for her husband and got far too familiar with him - which didn't go down well with the strangers wife. Sabrina is also asking for forgiveness for her late night cravings which led to a Christmas Eve kitchen meltdown (literally) that her brother took the blame for. Tufty caused a ruckus with lots of fake stag do stories, which caused the groom to run scared, cross the road only looking the wrong way - which ended in a leg in plaster for the wedding.

    In the Not for Broadcast corner there is a lot of disapproving tuts at simply illegal activities. The gang also debate the logistics of rocket launches, Lego vicars and Matt bringing a script to life.

    It's funny, it's festive and it's full of hot little hamsters. Tune in for redemption and ridiculousness in equal measures.

  • Cool for cats, cool for caaaaaats & other tales
    Dec 6 2024

    Brace yourselves for a purr-fectly scandalous episode as Father Simon and the Confessional collective hear some truly cat-astrophic tales of sin and mischief.

    Reverend Timothy dealings with a parishioner may or may not have included a suspicious nudge towards an open grave (and a funeral plan that was less than divine). Babs recounts her chaotic stay in a fancy Singapore hotel where her toddler caused a five foot floral and water disaster. Dad's confession is equal parts heat warming and horrifying: keeping the family cat, in the fridge for a final farewell, while spinning an increasingly tangled web of lies about the feline's untimely demise. And Gez's golf holiday prank on his forgetful mate with a fictional Spanish romance, doesn't go too well with his wife. Plus the Not For Broadcast Section debates questionable brownies and special sauce. We also talk shame stain colour theory and Matt's perfect Christmas gift.

    It's a wild ride of redemption, laughs and the occasional feline wizard. Don't miss it!

laughing gas and confessions

five stars absolutely. i listen to the superb confessions whilst im cleaning at the local dentist, and they often have the same affect as sucking on a pipe full of dental laughing gas!
the predictable guilty and non guilty verdicts of sister holly and brother matt, and the amazing vocal talents of father simon make the evening go quicker.
keep up the wonderful work, louise in bridport

Bring back Confessions From The Crypt

5 stars!! Can't always catch the drive time show live, so Iove the opportunity to listen to the podcast. Also love the Mark Knopfler Broadcast section... But where has Confessions From The Crypt gone?? I always used to try and guess what Matt's reason to forgive would be!!

looking forward to hearing some confessions

I would be picking up my husband from work, and I would hear the confessions and the banter. At times, I would be laughing so much when my hubby came out
I am looking forward to hearing some more 😊

6 stars and more…..

Mat is ace, holly is brilliant, the team are fantastic and Simon is the bestest especially when he does his accent’s, this podcast is my favourite and I eagerly wait for Friday to indulge in the stories of other peoples mishaps and adventures. If there was a button for 6+ stars I’d press it. Keep up the awesome work.

Glad you're back!

I love this podcast, I used to listen years ago (showing my age - in the 90s) and have now found you again. I've binge-listened the previous episodes whilst driving to and from work but then saved them up so I could listen whilst I travel on a coach to my holiday. Needless to say, I am actually listening at the mo and I've had a couple of strange looks when I've not held in my laughter. Spot on, absolutely brilliant, please keep it going. I've told anyone who would listen about this and know you've got a few more listeners.
