    Great fun!
    I Love these stories and the way they are told. What a fun and beautiful way to learn about the Saints and our faith. Thank you!

    Saint Valentine review
    Thank you Merry Beggars. I fell in love with my catholic faith as a little girl in first grade in Catholic school in New Jersey because the nuns would tell us the lives of the Saints and I would be so impressed as a child about the martyrs among other things in the Catholic faith. God bless all those sisters who taught me insane in school first grade through eighth. Thank you for bringing the Saints to life. I so enjoy the podcast of all the scenes. I listen so far to Saint Damien of Molokai and now I’m listening to Saint Valentine. Thank you so much. God bless you all merry beggars.
  • The blind singer
    Such an amazing podcast
    I am not Catholic, but I have always been fascinated by the lives of the Saints and I have always loved Christian audio drama. This series is almost a direct continuation of the classic stories of great Christians that the Moody Bible Institute broadcasted on the radio from 1948 to about 2000 Ware every day Monday through Friday they would do about 15 minutes Each day of a biography of a great Christian. This is, the exact type of thing that I have been looking for to continue that. God bless you guys and thank you.
  • Jazzcatjt
    A beautiful and wonderful show
    I love The Merry Beggars your podcasts about the Saints are fantastic. I love St. Therese of Lisieux and I love your podcast about her. I’ve listened to so many and I’m really learning more about the Saints. I’m a 62 year old Catholic lady with Metastatic Breast Cancer and your podcast is so calming. Thank you for this podcast.
  • Gianna .F 627
    Best podcast ever
    I love your show especially the episode about St. Teresa of Avila, could you please do one of St. Bathilde?
  • MJLybeer
    Thanks
    Thanks so much for doing what you do! I listen as I lie in bed and fall asleep 2 or 3 times per week - It gives me solace yet they are interesting at the same time! Perfect format.

    Good Job
    Great job with Saint Augustine. Can’t wait for future episodes from Benedict.
  • Raa2006
    Fun & interesting
    I am new to the Catholic Church and to the saints as well. These are delightful episodes to listen to and the world goes silent as I take in the stories. It's a relaxing time and I feel myself grow closer to Jesus with each new saint I learn about. Thank you and may God bless you for helping to creating such a pleasant experience.
  • Yes! Thanks!
    Best app on my list!
    I listen everyday. I continue to share this app with my family and friends. Thank you Merry Beggars for your great work!

    ❤️ AMAZING ❤️
    I listen to this podcast every day and I love it!!!
  • Southern Roman
    Engaging and family-friendly
    Our family enjoys listening to each 10-minute episode. Excellent dramatization and even for the popular saints you hear stories that usually are not told in great depth elsewhere so you learn something new.
  • Jenny and Maggie
    Fills us with hope
    Amazing and beautiful podcast that fills us with hope every time we listen! It’s truly inspired and we feel that we are befriending the saints as we listen, falling more in love with God! Thank you, Merry Beggars! Please keep making them!
  • EnlundFam
    AMAZING
    I listen to one every night before bed and I’ve been sleeping so much better. I love this podcast, but can you guys please do a podcast on saint Agatha?
  • Ojs2014.8.9
    Best !!!!!!’n
    Hi my name is Owen you guys should make a St Florence episode I love what you guys are doing ❤️
  • Mayangel87
    Great show
    Love these shows. Great for all ages, but does John Paul II have a part 4 and 5? Part 3 really left me hanging and all the other saints seem to be 5 parts.
  • Rachael129374
    Wonderful Catholic podcast for all ages!
    My kids and I love this podcast! Wonderful way to learn the lives of the saints! Today is St. Catherine of Siena’s feast day and we are hoping you do the story of this amazing saint! My husband and I were married in a church named after her and we have a daughter named after her too! Please do St. Catherine of Siena next!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

    AWSOME PODCAST
    This podcast is so amazing! We all love listening to it when we are going on trips or at the table👍👍👍👍👍
  • PhucLanh89
    Fascinating!
    I just discovered this amazing podcast! Listening to the stories of the saints moved my heart and soul to tears! Thank you so much for producing such an awe inspiring podcast. I’ve just discovered a treasure! God bless! Linh
  • 👁️❤️🥋
    Great
    A little bit confused… My family has really loved the Saints, It seems that they just brought back Patrick of Ireland, used the exact same episodes, and called it ENCORE? Odd. Otherwise, a wonderful podcast.
  • RoseGraffio
    Gripping and inspiring!
    My six kids and I can’t get enough of The Saints podcast! You do an amazing job of condensing a saint’s story into five short, action-packed episodes. St. Damien of Molokai is our favorite one yet! Thank you, and keep up the good work!
  • Morning Star Family Farm
    Family Friendly Radio Drama!
    Wonderful and wholesome and holy stories for all ages! We love it!! We play it as kids get ready for school, on road trips, during free time at home. Reminiscent of the beautiful saint stories called Glory Stories on CD from back in the day.
  • Toydogwife
    Soul Food
    A timely lift for the soul! Well done. The drama component enhances each episode making the stories more memorable.
  • cathasle
    My kids and I love these!
    I have 6 children. Ages 7,5,4,3,1,0. The oldest 4 constantly ask for more of The Saints. These stories are very well renditioned! Even if I know a Saint well I always learn something and it makes my kids excited for our faith! Saint Elizabeth Seton had me crying so hard while driving. I can’t stop recommending these to my friends. So well done!! Thank you! Bravo!!
  • mrswj1012
    Wonderful!
    We’ve loved all the stories so far! I know St. Elizabeth Ann Seton’s story well, and your rendition still had me in tears around the lunch table with my children! Well done! We can’t wait for more!
  • 123LB123456789
    Thank you!
    Incredible work, inspiring and entertaining.
  • Arebh
    Amazing audio theater!
    I LOVE this series. My only complaint is that I run out of new episodes to which I can listen. Engaging, compelling, enlightening, educational. I am grateful for the richness of The Saints. Please keep the episodes coming!!!!
  • poolfish7
    Love please continue
    I absolutely love this podcast. I listen to it every morning and can’t wait for the next episode. Please continue to make more! I love learning about the saints.
  • crwoo222
    Wow
    This was nice
  • Rose61393
    Great so far!
    Although I am not Catholic and do not know all the Saints, I have been enjoying listening to these episodes and learning about their lives and their relationships with God.
  • ktp60
    Love these!
    Was so excited to find these stories. They are very engaging and are the perfect length so we can listen to an entire episode on a short car ride. We also loved the “On the Night Train” audio drama.
  • Catholic Mom First
    The Saints
    Wonderful and awe-inspiring shows! Have truly enjoyed listening to all the shows and now my husband and I listen together. I look forward to the next episode each day!
  • helen15
    Love this so much!
    I love this because I can put it on in the car with my little kids and they’ll get wholesome faith filled content but it’s also engaging and enjoyable for me the parent. Every week I’m excited to learn more about the new saint instead of just the short blurb I usually hear about them on their feast day.
  • ❤️🐶🦊🐬Katie🐬🦊🐶❤️
    I’m hooked
    These are really well done. Short épisodes leave you wanting more. It validates what I know and provides insights into the personal nature of each Saint. Keep them coming!
  • knapp14
    Captivating content

  • Pondering Pilgrim
    Great stories
    Great quality, and very inspiring stories.
  • CarmLucia
    Captivating
    Well-written and produced! We listen in the mornings on the way to school; our high schoolers are especially intrigued by St. Joan’s story. Thank you, Peter, for your ministry to the Church! :)
  • Elamk24
    Entertaining and inspiring!
    Exceptional quality audio theater! Even for saints I thought I already knew well, these episodes drew me closer to their humanity, struggles, and deep relationship with God. I look forward to listening to these episodes with my teen kids.
  • psgola
    Incredible Dramatization of the Lives of the Saints
    This series has down an incredible job of humanizing the saints as it’s more than just a biography, but a glimpse into their lives.
  • RoxanneHPF
    Fantastic series!
    Really been enjoying this podcast
  • JMJIloveyou
    Excellent
    We love the Holy Heroes Glory Stories and this is just as good! Perfect addition to our homeschool day. Thank you.
  • lougabe
    The Merry Beggars

  • peteatkinson
    We Can’t Wait!
    This is Peter Atkinson here, founder of The Merry Beggars, and I just wanted to say to everyone that we can’t wait to share these stories with you! It’s going to be the ride of a lifetime! Praise God!
