Very enjoyable and informative
I’m a big lover of history podcasts since I discovered A history of Rome years ago. But this was the first podcast I came across that ranked famous people in history. I know since that there are others older than this one, but this was my gateway into that format and I found it a great way to learn about history (I now also listen to the one on American presidents). Our two hosts chat about a different pope each week in a way that is both lighthearted yet clearly very well researched and thought out. It takes a lot of skill to carry this off and they do it every week. You will learn not only about the individual pope but also about the historical events unfolding around that pope. Considering how influential the church is in world history it is amazing how little people actually know about it’s early days. This podcast fills that gap nicely. Well done ladies.

Great podcast; I love the format (similar to Totalus Rankium and Rex Factor); I know little about the history of Popes and am looking forward to being educated! Keep up the good work!

Places each pope in their historical context, and takes time to explain the various heresies and church councils. At times...Read full review »
