We couldn’t figure out how to make the Patreon process work with The Threesomes episodes, so had to take down those restrictions and allow everyone to listen. Please enjoy listening to those episodes if you haven’t had the opportunity yet! In the meantime, I think we’re just going to put the Patreon requirement “on hold” until we can figure things out. If you feel like it, you are still welcome to submit a small donation via Patreon to help us cover our monthly hosting fees ..read more

Hey listeners! Just a short note to let you know we’re introducing a new “season” of episodes to our podcast called “The Threesomes”. In The Threesomes, we’ll be interviewing former members of the church and focusing on three specific topics with them:
Their background in the church
The experiences that led them out of the church, and the toll it took on them (which could still be in-process)
What life is like for them now, having left
These special episodes will only be available for Patrons of the MormonTalk Patreon account. Don’t worry – you’ll still be able to freely listen to the usual ..read more

I came across the real story of the translation of the Book of Abraham
I dis ..read more

Hey listeners! We recently upgraded to some nice mics to improve the audio quality of our podcast. The debut episode with the new mics was episode 8. Unfortunately, I had some issues with my side of the audio due to (I think) the software audio mixer I’m using (I’m using a mixer so I can include a variety of audio sources in the stream, such as clips I play from news or videos, etc.). We’re going to try the next episode without the mixer to see if the audio bounces back to the quality where it should be. Thanks for continuing to have patience with us while we work out the kinks ..read more

This will allow you to listen to the show more easily if you’re already using one of those services or apps, as opposed to having to navigate here to the web site in order to listen or download the latest episode. Not that we don’t want you hanging around the web site… but… well… you get the point. We’re just trying to make things easier!
By the way, for some reason our page on Stitcher is not yet working correctly (navigating to the Stitcher MormonTalk address just redirects ..read more
