About this episode

Simon Mayo and the Confessions Collective share humorous confessions including snake-hunting in South Africa and a memorable bake sale.

Step into the confessional with Simon Mayo and the Confessions Collective for another fresh batch of confessions. Alf takes us to South Africa’s “Valley of a Thousand Hills” for a bit of teenage snake-hunting that ends with a biology master going absolutely white. Boomslang, anyone? Rose fights back against a scamp wrecking the ladies’ loo… with a “grown-ups” magazine placed at eye level, and one very memorable yelp. Plus: a Swiss bake sale accidentally becomes an open bar, and Bob the double bass player recounts 1976 Romania — jeans, Pink Floyd, broken windows, and an international pillow fight.
