How many interviews for Catholic Reformation have you prepared?

I know you have an interview with Tom Pink on Francisco Suarez that has been recorded for several years (is that the earliest interview you've done that you have yet to upload in any episode so far? ) but what other interviews have your recorded or plan to record on Catholic reformation?

Interviews

Yes, I actually saw Tom Pink just recently and said "you probably don't remember doing this, but the interview we did is finally coming out this year..." He did remember though.

It's good you're asking me about this since I do need to start setting up some interviews; I haven't recorded any others but I have some notes on whom to invite.

The flood of puns in this one is hard to weather.

Fludd of puns

I have to admit I was wondering weather it was too much.

A fluid situation

No, I think it went over swimmingly. Sorry if it sounded like I was damming the episode, it's you doing what you dew best.
