When Brigham Young set eyes on the Salt Lake Valley and said, "This is the place," was he referring to a place for Zion or a place for MLMs as far as the eye could see? We're sure it's the former, but this week we're talking about the latter--MLMs that is! Join us as we discuss what they are, how some have become insanely popular and how most are ultimately bad.

It's time for our second book club discussion episode! We're thoroughly tickled to have read "Lies Jane Austen Told Me" by Julie Wright for our second book. Join us for a chaotic, critical, and comical discussion about the themes, characters, and plot holes of this "proper romance" novel. 

Were you forced, volun-told, or sent to participate in trek as a youth? Did you have to pull a handcart one week per year in order to get in touch with your pioneer ancestors? If so, this episode is FOR YOU. We're talking about trek...the nightmare. 

This week we discuss religious trauma: where it comes from, what the symptoms are, and how to overcome it if you're experiencing it.

As Christians, we're constantly taught to avoid the appearance of evil, temptation, and to be wary of "wolves in sheep's clothing." Lessons about Satan, the Devil, Lucifer, etc. always were black and white. He's bad, Jesus is good, no in-between. But what do we actually know about him? Is Satan his name, or a title? Will he ever change? What about those that follow him? This week, we're discussing the concept of Satan, where he came from, what his future looks like, and how he's depicted in the scriptures and media. 

Ever wondered what a Latter-day Saint version of Trivial Pursuit is like? GOOD NEWS! We found out and played it so you wouldn't have to...unless you want to, of course. Join us as we play a chaotic round of Celestial Pursuit!

Ever wonder what the patented LDS fashion aesthetic is? Ever wonder how we got to this point in fashion? Do you want to know if there are other ways to be fashionable while modest? Tune in now to find out the answers to these questions and more!

Remember that one time a guy posted on Facebook that he wanted to create his own version of a Mormon Disneyland and tried to get suggestions and funding from random strangers on the internet? WELL, WE CERTAINLY DO! This week, we each created our own LDS theme parks, full of niche humor, fun rides, great food, and a little bit of blasphemy. Join us and our two special guest judges, Matt & Taran, as we go through every detail of our own parks.

Have you ever looked at a company or a product and thought, "Did a Mormon make this?" Have you ever gotten Mormon vibes from random things in your life, like Sodalicious or Disney? You're not alone! We've compiled our own list of things that seem Mormon but, surprisingly, aren't! Join our discussion about Disney, Chick-Fil-A, Country Music, and many more topics!

Couldn't listen to all 5 sessions of General Conference? That's OK, we couldn't either--well, one of us couldn't. BUT we took notes for you and each other so you could hear our thoughts, what talks we loved (and hated), and why! Join us for our semi-annual General Conference review.

In preparation for Easter, we thought we'd run through some of the names of Christ used in the Bible and other standard works. Don't worry, it's not a list! We're going through a few names we love the most as well as the meaning behind them. 

It's time for our FIRST ever book club discussion episode! We're proud to have studied "Queer Mormon Theology" for our first book and THRILLED to have had author Blaire Ostler join us in our discussion! Learn more about how this incredible book came to be, what drives Blaire in her continued work of queer & Mormon studies, and what lessons in love, allyship, and discipleship we gained from our study.
