It's been too long and we (I) feel bad about it. I promise you Season 7 is in pre-production and, in the meantime, we're unlocking and uploading our Formerly-Patreon-Exclusive Little Locals series. So stay tuned for a dozen shorter, hyper-local episodes right here on our main feed.

ALSO, Nat wrote a book. An Epic History of Failure: A Blundering Book Full of Facts & Mindless Mishaps is an educational and entertaining tour through some of history's mild and mega mistakes. It's a part of Neon Squid's 'Wacky Histories' series and is available through your local bookstore, all major online retailers, and, of course, bookshop.org.

We love, miss, and appreciate you, and we will [hopefully] be back very soon!

We've seen the white smoke, and it is time for a Pope-a-palooza! From Pope #1 and the 13 other Pope Leos to lady popes and baller popes, we cover a LOT of papal history in this, the final episode of season 7 and Cass's last season as co-host!

We're joined by returning guests and friends, Jim Vozzella (ep. 48) and Alex DiVirgilio (ep. 96 & ep. 100) for an exploration of the origins of the papacy, Chicago's own Pope Leo XIV, the legend of Pope Joan, the Harlem Globe Trotters, hot TV/Film popes & priests, and, of course, a whole lot of Catholic Youth Nostalgia.
