Into every life a little rain must fall and in the case of life of Saint Swithun, maybe too much. Honestly, we don’t find out too terribly much about his life but we do get to hear about his holy holes, his surf banquets, his many charter witnesses, his love of outdoor graves, and his facility with eggs.  Plus, Anna in in a moral quandary about ethical milk substitutes and Matthew runs into Anna in the most unlikely of places.

Plus, Anna survives a crash and Matthew makes it through another half-term break.

Matthew’s audio is messed up this episode but not nearly as messed up as the life of Pope Saint Gregory VII. Sure he was Pope but does that mean he was any good? He was elevated by a mob to make an army, centralize corruption, and getthe most strongly worded letter in history Plus, Anna and Matt eulogize a nice Pope who really flew over the very low bar set by previous ones (see the above sentences).

In what be out first (and possibly only) topical episode we delve into the short but very sweet life of the first millennial saint ( as of 27 April 2025) Blessed Carlo Acutis. From his early days as a sweet boy just trying to help his friends through their parent’s divorce to his journey to becoming God’s influencer it’s just one nice thing after another with this kid. He’s a total sweetheart and we love him and definitely don’t deserve to be cancelled for having fun around the tragically short life of a fifteen year old boy. Right, everybody? Right? Hello?. Plus, Anna gets a new job and Matt tries to do his current jobs.

Look, we have nothing against Whales but we keep doing these episodes anyways. This time it's Saint David under our snarky microscope adn we talk about him and a ton of other stuff too. Honestly, the Welsh have no reason to get mad at us because we actually have so many asides we hardly have any time to talk badly about their, um, country? I guess? Also, support Anna's sister Emily in her marathon run for refugees. It would be really nice: https://www.justgiving.com/page/emily-dominey-1?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL

This episode we step up the moral clarity with Blessed Claire of Rimini. Make no mistake this is no Poor Claire, this lady had it all: delicate clothes, obliging servants, poisoned frogs, and all the pincers she could eat. Plus, Anna and Matt ruin several films you might like (sorry).

This episode we get dressed up in our best iron garments and talk about the life and times of Margaret of Hungary. Starting out strong and predictably as a rich kid (a fact she totally hated or so she said) she went on to found a monastery, kidnap some people for feminism, do a lot of counting, and even managed to bounce back from a pillow based controversy to become a saint eventually. Plus, Anna makes the ultimate sacrifice to get the podcast recorded and Matthew shares some revealing statistics about…YOU!.

Lock yourself in this today and enjoy the tales of the life of Saint Christina of Markyate. A nice lady who was prone to be locked up by her parents, creepy archbishops, and even her "friends" but it was all worth it in the end for her to gain her miraculous powers of being able to read minds and salads(?). Plus, Anna has some miraculous good news and Matthew is angry at everybody except people he isn’t.
