Pontifacts is a independent papal history podcast, ranking all of the popes from Peter to Francis. In each episode, hosts Bry and Fry explore the life of a single pope and contextualize their papacy in world history, and religious development.

The hosts then rate the popes based on a series of amusing subjective categories to determine the value of their contributions and the entertainment of their scandal.

The most impactful popes are awarded a \"papal bull\", which will grant them further review in an eventual final, which will determine which is the \"popiest pope who ever poped!\"
