Simon Mayo's Confessions
Episodes
  • Put the kettle on and make some tea & other tales
    May 8 2026

    Step into the confessional with Simon Mayo and the Collective for another batch of confessions.

    In a classic from the crypt, a lonely trucker accepts one Guinness too many… then points a hopeful Beryl to entirely the wrong big red lorry.

    Then it’s Jan’s rabbit escape that ends in an axe, a fingertip flap, and a grandad who chooses bunny retrieval over first aid.

    Plus: a prison officer’s catastrophic coat-sniffing moment, and a first job interview ruined by dog poo, a blocked loo, and Captain Red Braces.

  • Hit me with your rhythm stick & other tales
    May 1 2026

    Step into the confessional with Simon Mayo and the collective for a week of blocked sinks, fake hospital letters, and staff training-day chaos.

    First, Susie’s raspberry-peach smoothie turns into a fermented crime scene that takes out the call-centre kitchenette. Then Jeanette commits peak springtime mischief by forging a hospital letter recommending “Morris dancing therapy” for her grumpy husband’s dodgy knee. Plus, Maurice’s 1966 snow-sculpture disaster, and Stan’s drama-teacher mate who sleepwalks into an unwanted performance.

  • It’s all too beautiful & other tales
    Apr 24 2026

    Step into the confessional with Simon Mayo and the Confessions Collective for an episode featuring village newsletters, VHS carnage and a cigarette-based science experiment that absolutely shouldn’t be repeated.

    First, nine-year-old James “helps” his vicar dad with a community email…

    Then Rebecca admits she turned a brand-new VHS player into a Hot Wheels garage, and let her little brother take the blame.

    Plus: Andy’s weapon-grade party-popper cigarettes, and a micro-school teacher with the strangest problem of all.

five stars absolutely. i listen to the superb confessions whilst im cleaning at the local dentist, and they often have the same affect as sucking on a pipe full of dental laughing gas!
the predictable guilty and non guilty verdicts of sister holly and brother matt, and the amazing vocal talents of father simon make the evening go quicker.
keep up the wonderful work, louise in bridport

5 stars!! Can't always catch the drive time show live, so Iove the opportunity to listen to the podcast. Also love the Mark Knopfler Broadcast section... But where has Confessions From The Crypt gone?? I always used to try and guess what Matt's reason to forgive would be!!

I would be picking up my husband from work, and I would hear the confessions and the banter. At times, I would be laughing so much when my hubby came out
I am looking forward to hearing some more 😊

I enjoy listening to Simon Mayo’s confessions. It’s the highlight of my week after a long week at work always hilariously funny with the stories that are told. Brother Matthew always forgiving and also with his infectious laugh has me in hysterics. Keep up the great work. Best Wishes Tom Carter from Bodmin
