Episodes
  • The wind beneath my wings & other tales
    May 29 2026

    Step into the confessional with Father Simon and the Collective for soup-based horror, airborne football crimes, and one truly catastrophic “wind” in an operating theatre.

    First, a classic from the crypt: Lorraine’s 80s tin-code mix-up leaves a brother eating chicken soup… plus a black, gelatinous blob of mould, followed by two days in hospital that nobody even notices.

    Then Alf’s military hangover meets bright surgical lights — and a “silent but prolonged” moment that has a surgeon hauling out intestines in search of a hole that isn’t there.

    Plus: Alistair secretly watches England v Tunisia during take-off and celebrates by waking a baby, and Penelope’s husband repeatedly breaks into the wrong Caribbean hotel room… straight into a naked German.

  • Don’t go chasing waterfalls & other tales
    May 22 2026

    Step into the confessional with Simon Mayo and the Confessions Collective for a vintage school-days reckoning, a Wembley fishbone emergency, lockdown jigsaw vengeance, and a fairground waterslide disaster.

    Nigel relives the wild early-80s logic of collective punishment after a playground scuffle leaves a classmate dangling from a fence — and an innocent kid caught in the mix for reporting stolen trainers.

    Then Helen’s 1987 FA Cup final is overshadowed by a bone stuck in her throat, a dad who won’t miss the match, and a lifesaving carton of Ribena.

    Plus: Flora steals one crucial jigsaw piece from her cheating ex, and Rick’s Water Boggan sends a furious passenger out drenched… without the dinghy.

  • All day long, all day long on the chaise lounge & other tales
    May 15 2026

    Step into the confessional with Simon Mayo and the Confessions Collective for an episode full of sibling sabotage, supermarket shame, and the perils of damp underpants.

    Tim admits to a targeted reign of terror on his little brother. John’s 1999 CFAX football obsession ends in disaster, Richard loses control of some “loose grapes” at Sutton Safeway, and Mike’s sixth-form skinny-dipping leaves a very suspicious puddle in maths.

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

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 😊

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!!

I enjoy listening to Simon Mayo’s confessions. It’s the highlight of my week after a long week at work always hilariously funny with the stories that are told. Brother Matthew always forgiving and also with his infectious laugh has me in hysterics. Keep up the great work. Best Wishes Tom Carter from Bodmin
