“I listened to Confessions ‘back in the day’, so when I saw it back again, I immediately chose it as car entertainment for my kids, 11&9. (I am ever conscious of their comedy education.) We started out with the work training/gorilla mask/armed police confession. An error. Not only was the...”Read full review »

“What’s not to love! The legend returns (in podcast form) just 36 years after the original!
The confessions podcast is without a doubt my favourite podcast. Simon is joined by the wonderful confessional collective, and Matt.
Unmissable moments and bonus items you don’t hear on the radio,...”Read full review »

I can remember Simon playing The Fly back to back on its release date which thankfully knocked Bryan Adams off number 1.
This review was inspired when I...”Read full review »

“My favorite confession was from a long time ago. It was called “a waft of whoopee cushion wickedness” it involved the sugar plum fairy dancing and a whoopee cushion accidentally going off and the audience thinking it was the fairy. It was really funny.
