Saint Misbehavin'

This month it's a yuletide deep cut as we follow the life of Saint Wenceslaus. You may know him better as the “king” from that one Christmas carol you don’t know the words to, but we have you covered with a deep dive into the lyrics (which are surprisingly nice) as well as a discussions of his toxic family dynamics, repeated incursions on Prague, and Anna spirited defense of sexual desecration. Plus, Anna wins big temporarily Matthew is is so sick it ends his marriage.

Come along with us as we creep into the life of Saint Winifred and find out why she may have the most appropriate and important patronage of all time. You’ll also hear about sneaky churches, terrible princes, abundant wells, and Matthew’s innovative solution for sexism (#smite). Plus, Anna isn’t sick and Matthew ties to do something (anything) about America by donating to Feeding America.

If the life of Saint Therese of Lisieux teaches us one thing it’s to savor the precious time we have with the people we really love (as well as the people we can’t stand) and maybe commemorate that lovewith professional portraits. Along the way we talk about maybe being too attached to your sisters, not bugging the Pope for every little thing, why Phoenix is a bad idea, and get bogged down more than once about the obsolete photo department of a defunct corporation. Plus, Anna and Matthew stand on the moral high ground to dunk pretty hard on the Riyadh Comedy Festival.

“Nobody’s perfect but some people could be a hell of a lot better.” This quote from Matthew pretty much summarizes the life of Saint John Chrysostom. A champion of the poor and a great orator but also am antisemite and a tosser of ladies.  Plus, Anna finds out there is such a thing as a free lunch and Matthew gains more power.

Maybe not the first but certainly the best (maybe) Saint Dominic: Saint Dominic de Guzmán is this episode's focus. Join us for terrible visions, dog faced boys, failed fiancé retrieval, and distinct lack of shoes. Plus, Matthew lives through another Oxford Comedy Festival (if you call this living) and Anna tries to form a union of one.

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.

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
