Popeular History celebrates a Solemn High Pod (SHP) (extended length podcast featuring history through Pope-colored glasses) on Solemnities. The Solemn High Pods are a continuation of the content of the original Popeular History Podcast.

LIST OF UNIVERSAL SOLEMNITIES OF THE ROMAN CHURCH  (aka SHP release dates)

NOTE: As dates may shift due to liturgical circumstances (typically due to Sundays and Easter), the traditional date or range of dates is given first, then the name of the Solemenity, then the date of the next occurence. For example, in 2024 Easter actually occurs before the Annunciation, and actually pushes the Annunciation back by nearly two weeks. Also, these are the typical dates for the Roman rite, local practices and rites vary.
