I’m Andrew Finlay Stewart, and I’m the host of a new podcast called The Rules of the Show. I’ll be talking to guests about rules they like and rules they hate, from board games and sports, to legislation and regulation, laws of physics or fashion dos and don’ts. Anything from biblical Thou Shalt Nots to household rules they grew up with.
But that’s just the beginning. Every episode, my guests will introduce a new rule for the podcast. We’ll debate and discuss it, and then add it to the rules of the show, changing the podcast forever,
I predict some of these new rules will be silly and small, and some could fundamentally change the nature of the show.
But I don’t know where this is going to go any more than you do, we’ll be along for the ride together. I hope you will join me in messing around with The Rules of the Show.

The Rev'd Martha Riddell joins me to indulge in some Old Testament trivia, talk about a particular New Testament magician, and get into some Pope Facts both fresh and historical. We talk about getting simoniacal, the rules of games as secular theology, the near occasion of sin, Cardinal fashion, The Borgias and other baddies, and do it all in the language understanded by the people. Plus: perhaps the first time a guest has actually learned something that can apply to their lives today!
You can follow the show on instagram and bluesky, and email me at andrew@therulesoftheshow.com! I bet you know a friend who would be into this nonsense we're up to over here, why not share an episode with them?
