“Not sure how I found the Popecast, but my favorite part has been the historical background and context of the Popes. As I’ve learned more history, I’ve learned the waves of sanctity and debauchery that have flowed through the years, and seeing where various papacies have fallen during those eras...”Read full review »

“When I saw this podcast I got so excited because I’m a new Catholic, converted Protestant, and know next to nothing about the last 2,000 years of Christianity. A podcast on the Popes was exactly what I’m looking for. Episode 1, Peter, and off we go…
Only, #2 wasn’t #2. It wasn’t a chronological...”Read full review »

“Believe it or not, I found this podcast as I was watching The Young Pope & New Pope series during the summer and wanted to learn about the actual papal history. I’m now caught up on the podcast to say Matthew has done a great job diving into the nitty gritty to the great & worst...”Read full review »

“I admire the goal of this podcast, but I have to acknowledge that there is not much depth nor (at least in the early episodes) a great wealth of research. The biographies are very brief sketches, containing roughly the depth of the Wikipedia article on the Pope in question. Certainly an amusing...”Read full review »

“I just discovered The Popecast. I’ve been reading the “Popes in a Year”emails. I’m on my third reading and hope you continue every year. I learn more each time I read them again. I love the history lesson I receive as l learn about the Popes in chronological order. The Popecast gives more...”Read full review »

“This is a great podcast building on his emails. They give me great perspective about how to reconcile better the meeting of the human and the divine with these very human popes. It’s like listening to family stories that prove that truth can be so much more stranger and entertaining than fiction....”Read full review »

“This is an awesome podcast, it brings so much insight into the life and faith of his subjects. The narrator’s voice is a pleasure to listen, and he brings such a balance to this fascinating topic.
Far from being detached by the years, there is a human realism that brings a better understanding...”Read full review »

“The one true church, founded by Christ and passed to Peter has seen its share of sinners and saint in the past 2 millennia as the title of Bishop of Rome has passed through 266 men. Matt Sewell takes us all on a glorious journey through the best and worst of them all.
From Peter to Francis and...”Read full review »

The episodes aren’t too long but they pack the perfect amount of church history and backstory in that you feel like you really learned something about that pope as well as the challenges of the church at the time. My favorite part is when letters or...”Read full review »

““The Popecast” highlights the good & does not shy away from the bad. The more we know about Church history, especially papal history, the more astonishing is God’s protection of His Church, despite all the attempts of popes, priests, & laity to destroy her across the ages.”
