Saint Notburga– 13 September
Saint Notburga was a nice lady who helped the poor, blah, blah blah, basic saint stuff. What I really want to talk to you about is this: Do not eat wood. We at Sait Misbehavn’ cannot say this strongly enough. It is our official position that eating wood is bad for the human body as our digestive tacks are not designed to process wood for nutrients. Please, we ask that if you are thinking about eating wood that you do not and if you have been eating wood that you immediately cease for your own health and for the sake of those who care about you. Plus, Anna spreads some dangerous misinformation about unsustainable diet choices and Matthew tries to set the record straight about the impossibility of a lumber based diet.
Saint Augustine – 28 August
Back from break with a big name in the saint game: Saint Augustine. He’s a guy who loved sin as much as he loved lying about sinning and we follow him from Algeria to Milan and back again with minimal asides about Columbian hippos Plus, Anna learns new skills and Matthew miraculously survives another Oxford Comedy Festival.
Saint Junipero – 1 July (Part 2)
Sorry it took so long but here is the exciting/depressing conclusion of the story of the life of St. Junipero. Don’t worry, it’s not just all colonizing, it’s only mostly colonizing but occasionally there is a sombrero riot and jerks get shot with an arrow. So you have that to look forward too. Plus, Anna isn’t the sickest person on the podcast for once and Matthew spent a lot of his week editing out all his coughing from the audio.
Saint Junipero – 1 July (Part 1)
Oh boy, this is a bad one folks. Take a trip to the New World (always a bad sign) with Saint Junipero. He was a “missionary” in Mexico with an aversion to horses, a misunderstanding of bats, and a love of the inquisition so great we have to do two episodes about him. Plus, Anna over-pronounces her limited Spanish Vocabulary and Matthew has an Enterprising Father’s Day.
Saint Paulinus of Nola – 22 June
Get ready for some mind-blowing church innovation as we discuss the life of Saint Paulinus of Nola. Sure he was rich, powerful, and had a hot wife but that doesn’t mean he didn’t give back to the community and not just in the form of a lot of churches in one specific part of Italy. He also helped a guy one time by appearing in his kidnapper's dreams. Plus, Anna witnesses some instant karma form God and Matthew become a better burrito based ally to the LGBTQ+ community.
Saint Petroc– 4 June
Hope you like Cornwall because this episode we talk about the well-travelled but Cornish centered life of Saint Petroc. From exalted beginnings in possibly the best family in Welsh history to his shame based travels with (and probable end because of) a wolf it’s a wild tale you won’t want to miss. Plus, Anna does something she describes as “not actively bad” and Matthew talks about all the joy he gets from the sexy stars.
Saint Phillip Neri – 26 May
Get ready to hear about the surprisingly joyful life of Saint Phillip Neri a man who savoured the finer sacraments of life and did a lot more bits than you would expect from a priest. It’s an episode featuring a detailed description of what 79ing is, Dracula’s crisis of faith, an account of how Paris wronged the Chadourne family, a temporary miracle, and we even make time to discuss the life of Phillip Neri. Plus, Anna makes some bathroom sacrifices and Matthew spend some time with the less fortunate (Anna).
Saint Margherita of Cortona – 16 May
This episode is a slice of the life of Saint Margherita of Cortona. When she was young she never met a temptations she didn’t like but after a werewolf attack (allegedly) she became the most penitent lady ever. We get deep into what it truly means to be mutilated, find out how her life is a proto-Cinderella story, and learn how not to be a mother. Plus, Anna gets hit by a bit of luck and Matthew returns from a trip to tell the tale of the Eden of Britain: Milton Keynes.
Saint George – 23 April
It’s everybody’s favourite dragon slaying patron saint of England, Saint George. He had one life but a lot of conflicting deaths but we can all agree he got tortured a lot, had zero instinct for self-preservation, and he was always there for his fellow man (as long as his fellow man was rich or doing colonialism.) Plus, Anna and Matthew answer some important questions about Easter.
Saint Francis de Paola – 2 April
This week Matthew isn’t the only problematic vegetarian on the podcast as we delve into the life of Saint Francis de Paola, the 15th century holy man who’s love for animals was only surpassed by his problems with women. It’s a tale of cave living, herb eating, real estate schemes, getting fatally stuck in France, dealing with trauma through fire, and learning how werewolves are made. Plus, Anna lives in the presence of a saint for a week and Matthew is on the hunt for a very specific butt shaped seat.
Saint Cuthbert – 20 March
This week we get entrapped by our researcher Cat into discussing the life of Saint Cuthbert and making a bunch of poop noises. It’s a life of lonely island living, abandoned babies, mud holes, and helpful otters. Plus, Anna donates to a worthy charity to help migrants and Matthew turns the other cheek in spite of all his improv training.
Saint Collette – 6 March
Welcome to medieval France; where abbeys multiply like rabbits, cars are extremely dangerous, birth isn't much safer, and Saint Collette roams that countryside making every one as poor as possible to make them spiritually richer. While we have questions about her motivations we can’t argue with her results. Plus, Anna life is moving in a more saintly direction now that she is out of work and Matthew finally takes the hint from on high and decides never to travel again.
Saint Polycarp – 23 February
Get ready to run towards death with Saint Polycarp. Sure he was born in a sexy year but he had a rough life starting when he was sold to his owner-mom, continuing with a lot of arguments about when Easter is, and ending in an explosion of with doves and blood. Plus, Anna buys a baking sheet (less exciting than it sounds) and Matthew looks terrible in front of everybody.
Saint Brigid – 1 February
We’re back in Ireland this episode with the possibly fictional life story of Saint Brigid. A fun lady with a strange definition of donating but who did some fun if familiar miracles. Plus, Anna has a mundane but helpful premonition and Matthew follows in the footsteps of a famous carpenter.
Saint Sebastian – 20 January
The third century has never been hotter as we talk Saint Sebastian. An undercover Cristian who was probably too good at conversions and got so many people into trouble before betraying his best friend and getting shot with a bunch of arrows and thrown in a sewer. Plus, Anna miraculously figures out risotto and Matthew is afflicted by a toddler.
Saint Kentigern (AKA St. Mungo) – 13 January
We’re back in Scotland this week talking about Saint Kentigern (better known as Saint Mungo) and dragging bigots. It’s a tale of kidnapped babies, unreasonable last requests from strangers, lackluster miracles, and narratively extraneous volcanos. All with a light motif of very poor Scottish accents. Plus, Anna explains Goo™ and Matthew is very lazy.
Saint Stephen – 26 December
This year we’re skipping Christmas and going straight to Boxing Day as we celebrate the life of Saint Stephen. He was a waiter for God and Christianity’s first martyr (yay?). We get into his whole (thin) biography, his sweet face, his disputed place of stoning, his inappropriate patronages, and the terrible traditions associated with his day. Plus, Anna builds community with he neighbors in card form and Matthew get a miraculous day by himself.
Saint Lucy – 13 December
It’s some sassy times as we follow the life of Saint Lucy of Syracuse (the old one) as she travels from Sicily all the way to another part of Sicily before things get really heavy and all her bones get misplaced. Plus, Anna is adjacent to saintliness by blood and Matthew keeps his family going for another week.

Saint Andrew – 30 November
It’s some original apostle nonsense with Saint Andrew this week; defender of orphans, fighter of wolves, master of branding. We cover the whole story from his humble beginnings as a spied upon fisherman to his grisly (but distinct) death and even follow his well-travelled knee caps. It’s an adventure not to be missed. Plus, Anna takes a stand against the World Cup and Matthew “apologizes” to yet another nation.
Saint Hilda– 17 November
Put some gravy on your chips and take a journey to ancient Yorkshire with Saint Hilda. Born in exile (in a royal court, so don't worry) she rose up to be a princess abbess and a champion of culture. It’s a series of life lessons, messed-up snakes, and rocking harp covers of all your favorite hits until she ends up a restless spirit in a ruin. You know, typical Yorkshire stuff. Plus, Anna did the rare saintly/stupid act and Matthew enjoys a semi-miracle out of the US.
Blessed Alpaïs of Cudot– 3 November
Stay in bed this week as we bring you the life of Blessed Alpaïs of Cudot, a nice young lady affected for…reasons by god or possibly the devil or possibly just bad luck. Despite being bedridden and stinky she manages to get a lot done. From advising queens to being the church’s best shakedown artist she prove that you don’t have to go anywhere to get somewhere in this life. Plus, Anna is on the road (or at least the phone) to wellness and Matthew apologizes to yet another nation.
If you want to help with the refugee crisis in the Mediterranean, one good place to donate is here at Doctors Without Borders
Saint Frideswide– 19 October
This episode Anna and Matthew become pilgrims in their own town as we discuss the very Oxford based St Fiedeswide. (Full disclosure: This episode has a lot of very specific talk about Oxford and the surrounding area so consider yourself warned). We get into her eye for design, her dozens of lady “friends”, and her questionable attitude towards cat calling but we never settle on a pronunciation for Frideswide. Plus, Anna donates her body to science and Matthew gets a sign…to the head.
Saint Francis of Assisi – 4 October
This episode it’s the one and only Saint Francis of Assisi (Ol' Franky Aces to his friends). He may have been a great saint but he was a terrible businessman, soldier, and son. But otherwise a lovely man who really took the time to spread the love of Christ to birds, besieged Muslims, and other indifferent groups. Plus, Anna is grateful for our new research and Matthew’s parents visit is miraculously extended.
Saint Joseph of Cupertino – 18 September
This episode we fly into the interesting life of the dull St Joseph of Cupertino. From his humble beginnings in a stable to his equally humble life as an monk, we get into his school years (stupid), his work life (pointless), and his monastic career (annoying). All that and tales of his donkey father. Plus, Anna takes a day off for the Queen and Matthew returns from his pilgrimage to Ireland a changed man.
Saint Rose of Viterbo – 4 September
Rejoice! We are back from our summer break with more saintly nonsense. This episode we bring you the tale of Saint Rose of Viterbo, a nice young lady and defender of the Pope who spent some time in a fire and had some poor fashion sense. Plus, Anna volunteers her time (and money) to a good cause and Matthew miraculously endures a comedy festival of his own making.
Saint Sigismund of Burgundy– 1 May
Hoo boy, is Saint Sigismund this our worst “Saint” yet? Well, he was a husband who didn’t remember his wife’s name, a father who threw his son down a well (also bad for the community), and a king who stole some monks robes to hide out after losing a battle. Not to mention what his dad did! So yeah, this one might be a new low for saints but a new high for comedy. Plus, Anna miraculously dodges covid yet again and Matthew recommends a different podcast about a different saint.
Saint Kateri Tekakwitha– 17 April
It’s a trip to colonial America (uh-oh) as we discuss the life and miracles of Saint Kateri Tekakwitha. A nice young lady who like to do typical gal stuff, got a crappy name from her family, and fled to Canada for a better life with…[checks notes]...The Jesuits!? That can’t be right. Plus, against her better judgment, Anna helps her neighbor and Matthew almost has a nice holiday in Wales.
Saint Gladys – 29 March
This week we discuss Welsh icon, Saint Gladys and the raid or die relationship she had with her husband/abductor Saint Woolos, come up with some great ideas for perfect crimes, welcome a special guest to the story, and try (and fail) to pronounce Welsh names. Plus Anna protests and Matthew recovers.
Saint Patrick – 17 March
This week we take on the hagiography of maybe the most famous saint in the world, Saint Patrick. You know the name but do you know the story? Was he an innocent young man, kidnapped by sheep-launching Irish pirates to become the spiritual leader to a nation (some of whom were quite thick) or did he shirk his duties and run off to Ireland to become the greatest con-man of the fifth century? Listen in to find out! Plus Anna gets some culture and Matthew asks the forgiveness of the good people of Finland.
Saint Josaphat Kuntsevych – 12 November
This week we are trying to show support (in our own odd way) to Ukraine by talking about their patron saint, Saint Josaphat Kuntsevych. He is an intense guy who tries to heal a schism between east and west (man, some things never change) and gets hit by an axe for his trouble. Plus, Anna kindly watches Matthew’s baby so he can experience the miracle of a night out with his wife.
If you would like to help Ukraine please consider donating to the Red Cross and their relief efforts.
Saint Sigfrid – 15 February
This week we prove that three heads are better than none with Saint Sigfried. Hear about his life which was as exciting as it is vague, his trips from nonspecific England to Scandinavia, his poorly located churches, and his attempts to win back the people of Sweden from the pagans. Plus, Anna gets older and wiser(?) and Matthew give some advice to everyone on how to minimize crying.
Saint Blaise– 3 February
This week we fire it up with Saint Blaise, the bishop/doctor that may have had seven heads but couldn’t use a single one to think his way out of trouble. Along the way he does some pretty impressive miracles, becomes a terrible step-dad and inspires Anna to start the #NotAllOxbridge campaign. Plus, Anna gets a new job (thanks to Matthew) and Matthew brings sight to the sightless.
Saint Fursey– 16 January
This week we’re moving east with Saint Fursey, possibly the most popular guy in the 7th Century. From his origins in Ireland give jobs to his relatives and having dreams about cool circuses, to his final days in France slowly moving through the countryside performing miracles for all sorts of (rich) people, we cover it all! Plus, Anna does a nice thing for birds and Mathew makes the pope very happy.

Saint Seraphim of Sarov – 2 January
This might be our most mind blowing episode yet as we travel to the Russian countryside to talk about the life and legacy of Saint Seraphim of Sarov. It’s got blatant workplace safety issues, bear assistants, miraculous swaps, stupid thieves, and even a useless trip to space. Make sure stick around to the end to hear the worst possible patronage ever in a segment that almost destroys Matthew’s brain. Plus, Anna gets a Christmas gift from the government and Matthew thinks he’s dodged Covid yet again but has he spoken too soon….
Saint Nicholas – 19 December
It’s an extra special Christmas miracle show (that is not live, sorry) where we talk life of Saint Nicholas, possibly the greatest detective of the third century and a pretty nice guy (if you're with two other people). Marvel at his zip line acumen, his uncanny aim, and his fights with heretics, storms and butchers. Plus, Matthew takes a state mandated pub quiz and Anna learns about the history of Soviet anti-religion posters.
Saint Narcisa de Jesús– 8 December
This week it’s our first saint from the western hemisphere as we talk Saint Narcisa de Jesús; a wandering serial self-crucifier who love bread and helping the poor. Plus she’s great with banana cancer and missing vaginas. Also, Anna has a miraculous find and Matthew’s family gets some divine pajamas. Click here to see a fun picture of Matthew being crucified.
Saint Cecilia – 22 November
Saint Cecilia knew what she wanted and she didn’t care about the consequences! Listen to how she gets herself, her corpse stealing husband, her gullible brother-in-law, and some random dude into a lot of trouble before becoming the oldest pile of incorruptible dust of all time. Plus, Anna does a good deed for a stranger (who is also her boyfriend) and Matthew tries to teach his son the right and wrong ways to steal
Margery Kempe – 9 November
This episode we travel the world (and some crappy parts of England) with medieval mystic Margery Kempe. Despite her boring name she lead a pretty interesting life of pilgrimages, public crying, and prison sentences all while finding time to have “around 20” kids! Plus, Anna puts more negativity out into the world and Matthew promises an opportunity to see his baby (promise not binding).
Saints Crispin & Crispian (plus a bonus blessed) – 25 October
This week we talk about a pair of sole brothers, Saint Crispin & Saint Crispian. Christians by day, shoemakers by night; these twins lived life on the edge until the Roman Empire caught up with them and abused the noble tool that is the awl. Also, as a bonus we have the tale of the Blessed Carlo Gnocchi. Yes we make fun of his silly pasta name but then we find out he was actually a nice (if intense) guy. Plus, Matthew is sick and Anna double quits her job!
Saint Teresa of Ávila – 15 October
This week it’s a pious and erotic(?) journey around Spain with Saint Teresa of Ávila. She made it her life’s mission to organize convents and spread misery far and wide. Plus, Anna forgives Matthew for annoying her before the recording and recounts her pilgrimage to the holiest of places, Cornwall.
Also, here is a cool video of people flipping over tables: https://vimeo.com/50506937
Saint Gregory the Illuminator – 30 September
Anna and Matthew are back from vacation and ready to start season two with the enlightening tale of Saint Gregory the Illuminator. He was a guy who went from rock bottom (well, the bottom of a pit anyways) all the way to the top to become Armenia’s favourite saint. Plus, Matthew goes on a spiritual retreat and Anna preforms a sort-of lifesaving laundry miracle.

Plus, Anna goes on a pilgrimage for milk and Matthew gets his holy thirst slaked.
Bartolomé de las Casas – 18 July
Stick with us here folks because Bartolomé de las Casas is a complicated guy. He tried to stop slavery and colonization in the New World but his solution was more slavery and colonization. Not great. But he was trying in his own way to make the world a bit better…we think…overall…possibly. Plus, Anna and Matthew talk sports!

Saint Norbert of Xanten - 6 June

Saint Mark - 25 April
We’re not going to lie to you; the life of Saint Mark is very confusing. Who is he? Did he write the gospel that bears his name? What does any of this have to do with Lions? None of these questions are answered in this episode but we do get into how he kind of fell into evangelism because of nepotism, the relative stumpiness of his fingers, how he liked to get naked at parties, and why it is important to always eat breakfast when you’re the messiah. Plus Anna makes a stand for criminal justice!
Saint Gemma Galgani - 11 April
It’s a lot this week as we talk about a saint who was a lot, Saint Gemma Galgani. What’s the deal with her pharmacist dad? Why was she too much to be a nun?

Blessed Jeanne-Marie de Maille – 28 March
This week we have some frivolous conversation about the life of Blessed Jeanne-Marie de Maille. She isn’t a saint (thanks patriarchy!) but she was still a pretty great person who lived a good life. You can hear how she was the least silly Baroness of Silly there ever was, her adventures sleeping in a big pile of dogs, and her later life as the nicest lady for miles around. Plus Anna and Matthew speculate what French Halloween is like and Matthew gets the world’s most precious souvenir.
Saint Matilda - 14 March
Are you or do you have disappointing children? Well then do we have the perfect Mother's Day gift for you! This week we take a trip to medieval Germany with the patron saint of disappointing children, Saint Matilda.

Saint Abba the Great - 28 February
Mamma mia, here we go again! In this episode we take a chance on the life of St Abba the Great. Will the tale of his life be our Waterloo and have us calling S.O.S? Probably not. Turns out he was a real super trooper and a guy capable of not only good deeds but great personal growth. We also learn how to thwart desert muggings and face our limits about what saints we can and cannot talk about. So listen to Anna knowing Matthew, knowing St Abba. Um, something…something…Dancing Queen. They can't all be Gold.

What a get, it’s our first big name saint on the show! This week we travel from Italy to vaguely Africa with Saint Valentine (all three of him). And marvel at his life of annoyingly trying to convert friends and his miraculous curing of the adopted (of blindness).

Saint Don Bosco - 31 January
Today we seek to understand the whole life of St Don Bosco (but mostly get bogged down in the first half and ramble quite a bit). We learn about carny priests, rampant hay theft, how Anna drained the swamp, how many orphans is too many orphans, some fun facts about Brasilia and so much more. Also, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs.
Saint Anthony the Great - 17 January
This week we tackle the life of St. Anthony the Great and witness his many battles with animals and “demons” (probably also just animals) and question how many servants is too many servants to still call yourself a hermit. And while Anna teaches Matthew about the life of this important spiritual leader, Matthew teaches Anna about some of the great Monster Trucks of the ‘80s. So everyone’s life was enriched.
Saint Genevieve - 3 January
In our inaugural episode we delve into the life of St Genevieve. So many sieges! So few calories! Also, Matthew picks a name for his baby and Anna teaches us basic German meat words.
