The Holy Agony was a one-of-a-kind Catholic art podcast from 2021–2022 by John Dios with an historically irrelevant collaboratrix. It featured Tradwave music (by Wafers 3D and other artists); personal reminiscences, many of them scripted; and a great many sound experiments, often featuring the Venerable Bishop Fulton Sheen.

The Holy Agony, further, had almost the best opening theme since Hawaii Five‑O’s.

Now on YouTube

Jolliness is indeed Mandatory for ’025 as all episodes of the Holy Agony are watchable on YouTube, along with (indeed) the “Mandatory Jolliness” Christmas specials from the sister podcast Cathedral in the Pines.

For posterity, I maintain the relevant files, some of which I have improved by adding chapter markers and per-chapter artwork.
