“I was following a different podcast detailing Papal history, but it was often irreverent and the presentation style of one presenter was absolutely silly. I had resigned myself that there was no good option until I discovered History of the Papacy presented by Stephen Guerra.
The episodes are scholarly and presented with respect. The guest episodes add extra perspectives and I enjoy the discussions of the historical subjects and persons. I particularly enjoy the duo of Steve and Gary. Their sessions are relaxed, interesting and can provide a chuckle or two.
Because this is a prolific podcast, I’m only up to 2021. I see some recent reviews denigrating a guest named Dennis Prager. I don’t know who that is and I may react as strongly as some of these reviewers, but for anyone new to the podcast don’t be guilty of throwing the baby out with the bath water. There is real gold in these episodes and if there is an episode that doesn’t interest you move forward.
I enjoy the sidetracks and teasers. The history of the Christian church is immense. Going off central from the papacy provides context of the times and influences the Papacy experienced. This is good history as history is never linear. The more you know, the better you understand.
As for commercials—if you aren’t supporting this podcast through Patreon you have no ground to complain. It is not free to produce and Steve’s time is worth far more than I imagine his supporters are able to provide. For some unexplainable reason the commercials I get are in Spanish? I don’t care. I’m happy to have the information Steve brings. It’s valuable. It will be for you too if you have a real interest in the 2000 years of the Christian church.”

“I enjoy the content of this podcast and it has definitely informed me about things I didn't know about, which is main reason to listen to any history podcast. The only thing that keeps it from getting five stars is that there seems to be an issue with audio balance: some episodes seem to have...”Read full review »

“Since this is only the first episode I can't say how wonderful this podcast will be, but so far the first episode is good. The topic is very interesting and I like that it will be thematic rather than straight hisorical.”Read full review »
