Description
This week, we want to prepare you for a crossover event that we're VERY excited about! In case you don't know the show, we want to introduce you to "Forgive Me" - also here on the Fable and Folly Network. Here's a little synopsis of the show -
Father Ben left his congregation in Binghamton, New York, in the cover of night for the smaller, quieter pastures of St. Patrick’s. As our new, young, and at times progressive priest begins to acquiesce to his new surroundings, he finds himself butting heads with the eccentric parishioners who come to him seeking solace and advice. Whether he’s trying to understand Old Margaret’s “usual” confession; parsing out how Tom can better help care for his wife’s pet pig, David; or getting to the bottom of the Christmas Eve Mass Incident, Forgive Me! explores the intertwined lives in Ben’s new community and the funny, sad, and sometimes painful experiences that come out of confession and the Catholic experience.
Forgive Me! began as a simple idea from series cocreator Jack Marone: to mine the sometimes funny, sometimes awkward, and often confusing anecdotes from his Catholic school upbringing and craft the kind of podcast that could make him laugh and that his still-practicing family members could be proud of. After pitching the idea to Windfall cocreator Bob Raymonda in 2015, the series sat on the back burner until 2018, when Rogue Dialogue’s first show was in postproduction and the team was hungry for new ideas that featured fewer characters but just as much heart.
