10: Can we make a game show out of Fesshole?

This is genuinely my favourite episode of the Fesshole podcast - the one where we turn it into a panel show. From the earliest days of doing the Fesshole account, there's been people saying "you should make this into a panel show" and I kinda resisted it as I felt the best version of Fesshole should go deeper into the confessions rather than riff off them, but you know what, we finally had a go and it's... good? I loved writing a script for a show and devising some simple games to play and I lov...

9: The all you can drink gravy diet: does it actually work?

This is the shed episode. The one me and Dave recorded face to face in a shed and the vibe is good because of this. Recording this face-to-face is so much more fun than being on a Zoom, you can react easier, you can read people's cues easier and it's memorable in a way that working electronically is not. Can you remember any of the Zoom meetings you've had? Nah, they turn into a massive blur, whereas a meeting face-to-face, well that does something to your brain and you remember that meeting for...

8: What does an actual PRIEST think about Fesshole?

When we started this podcast the one thing we thought would be important to do was to talk to a priest and compare notes about taking confessions. Yes we're mostly taking confessions for comedy reasons but at the same time, we're dealing with real people's lives here and how does it compare? We've ended up with an interesting show that's surprisingly theological and philosophical and most of all funny. We didn't intend to make a bible studies class but here we are, we explore the usefulnes of pr...

7: “Which 80s pop group helped this man overcome his urination shyness?“

I really like this episode - me and Dave are relaxed and into the vibe of what we've created. It reminds me of Seinfeld, now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying we've reached the heights of Larry David's best writing here, but like Seinfeld, it's a show about nothing. What is this episode about? Nothing. Yet it's about everything - it's about two men having a long friendship since childhood and can finish each other's sentences. It's about spending time in our company, and either you want to hang...

6: 'I went to prison and this is what my fellow inmates confessed to me"

It's not something you expect, one day you're swimming in the local pool and you see your acquaintance Chris Atkins and have a bit of a chat with him whilst both of you are playing with your kids and then two days later he's on the front page of the Daily Mail, imprisoned for five years for tax fraud. I didn't know what to think and I also was very worried about a boy being separated from his father at such an impressionable age. Occasionally I'd google him and check his social media and wonder ...

5: “Is it ok for a man to name his dog after his best friend?”

9 thoughts I (Rob Manuel) had listening back to this episode 1. Oh god we're going to have to cut all that really funny stuff about [redacted] because we don't want [redacted] to lose their job. 2. These two people are complete dickheads but I quite like them because this is the sound of me and Dave sitting up to 5 in the morning as teenager talking absolute bollocks. 3. I feel there could be repercussion from mentioning family stuff - it's not my intent to cause family woe here - but if you ope...

4: Can we talk to the anonymous confessors who confess on Fesshole?

One of things we thought worth doing when mucking around with a Fesshole podcast was the idea that it would be interesting to talk to the actual people doing the confessing. When we said this people were "but how on earth you can do that, it's anonymous?" Well the trick is we just ask on the social media account - have you confessed - would you like to chat to us some more and then see what happens. We spoke to four people for this one - and in an idea totally lifted from the Graham Norton chat ...

3: A rich comedian's butler, Bill Drummond the Computer Game & introducing Anon_Opin

“The one where we say the sentence 'a really angry Egyptian who just wanted to fill the pyramids with piss'” Just one of the episode titles we brainstormed this week - others included: "The one where Rob admits he’d hide a dead pet to prevent not getting a shag" "The one where we add Anon Opin to the show which is like adding horse to your supermarket lasagne - it’s a delicious meat but it’s not what you paid for" "The one where we write new jingles, muck with the format and mention the KLF &amp...

2: Asking Psychotherapist Philippa Perry about Fesshole

The thing about Fesshole is people ask me why it exists and what it all means and i'm not sure I could tell you really. There are projects I've started where I've had clear objectives and there's something like Fesshole where it's more like I'm a sorcerer's apprentice, in that I knew I could get something like this to work, but it's not like I'm in control of it. I've made some kind of weird magic soup and I don't even know what effect it has on you or even me as the chef. In this episode I talk...

1: THE PILOT - Can we turn Fesshole into a podcast?

Turning the Fesshole Twitter account into other things is apparently what I do now. So far there's been two books and several live shows - so why not a podcast? The Fesshole novelty keyring is coming soon. At the simplest level, let's just pick some funny confessions and read them out and react to them. So that's what we've done here, a top ten in reverse order: 10. "My wife is a police officer. Her name is Nina. She can never find out how obviously hilarious I find this." 9. "After my husband c...

1: Fesshole: The Podcast is COMING SOON and this is the pre-trailer trailer

People kept telling us to start a Fesshole podcast - and we finally listened! But we're giving away NOTHING here other than we're starting the Fesshole podcast and we want you to subscribe. So subscribe, ok? Seriously, that's the point of this page, we could tell you a load of bollocks about what's in it, or we could have a few days of mystery where you can guess what's in it. This is the golden moment where the podcast could be anything you could imagine. Think of the best version of the Fessho...
