Forgive us for asking but we pray you’ll help us make season 3!
Forgive Me! started as a small idea— a comedy podcast where every episode a different person goes to confession. From that idea, Adam, Bob and Jack created Forgive Me and the tiny church community of St. Patrick’s. With every confession we recorded, the church, its community, and even the town around it began to take shape and with time we knew we needed to break out of the box of the confessional to tell a larger story. We started doing this in season two but our plans for season three has our characters going places beyond our wildest dreams (A conversion van! A Donut festival! The church parking lot!).

In all seriousness, we know to tell the story of Fr. Ben and St. Patrick’s properly, we need to grow. This means significantly more characters, more voices, and even more episodes. To pull this off we need a larger team than ever before. Some hard FACTS:
- Season for has 41 voice actors! This is more than the cast of Season 1 and 2 combined!
- We are producing 13 brand new episodes in this season, following a plethora of new and old voices.
- Adam has been a one man production crew for the majority of our run so far, taking on the sound design, mixing and composition of every episode of Forgive Me. With a longer season run, including waaay more complex episodes than we’ve ever made before, it’s past time we got him some help.

We are truly #blessed to be able to make this show and want to make it right. That means giving our performers, writers and production team compensation worthy of their incredible talent and effort. Anything less would be sinful!
A Confessional Podcast?
Yes! Ok so listen, Forgive Me! is our audio fiction podcast that follows this young try-hard priest, Fr. Ben as he begins to work in a small town church, St. Patrick’s, after the previous pastor Fr. Klem suffered a massive heart attack during an eating competition at a donut festival. Every episode we hear Ben as he talks to folks in confession and we learn more about the town and even Fr. Ben himself! The church is full of a variety of characters who all have more than a couple sins worth getting off their chest. At its core Forgive Me shows the funny, bizarre, heartwarming and often challenging experiences that come from life in a church community.
This seems... oddly niche... people listen to this?

Surprisingly yes! We’ve made two seasons we’re honestly very proud of and have been humbled to have people enjoy it. We’ve had over 185,000 downloads to-date and received some wonderful praise (even from people that aren’t Bob and Adam’s mom).
Ok before I grab this digital collection basket... what exactly do you folks need? I don’t want my hard earned money to just wind up lining the Vatican.*
Because we were already able to pay our writers and entire cast for this season with funds earned through Patreon and advertising dollars, our final goal is $7,722. The vast majority of this will go toward paying the people who help us make this show happen. That means our amazing dialogue editors, sound designers, and composers.

I’m not in a place to support the campaign financially. How else can I help... spread the good word?
We really appreciate you being willing to support our show however you can! There’s a bunch folks can do if now just isn’t a great time to contribute monetarily.
- Ask people to help get the word out and evangelize let folks know about our campaign.
- Remind them to use the Indiegogo share tools!
- Spread the word about the show in general.
- Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podchaser, etc.
However you support us, know we are eternally grateful, and for every tweet about Forgive Me an angel gets its wings**.
*DISCLAIMER: Forgive Me! is made by three extremely goofy lapsed Catholics. We have all the guilt and none of the church affiliation.
**It is unconfirmed if angels have wings or if they’d even need them to fly.***
***We know it says in the bible they have wings but it also mentions an angel having like 6 wings and 4 faces (?) which seems like something you’d say if you didn't actually have any wings but were unconfidently bragging about them.
What about perks?
