Season 1 Episode 1 -- April 3, 2022
Welcome Brothers and Sisters to a news podcast all about what's going on in the realms of Mormondom!
Dives and Al have scoured the internet this week and found you several news items pertaining to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. This is a lot of fun, clean information as Al and Dives discuss LDS current events from all sides. This isn't biased one way or another. We show you the good the bad and the ugly of Mormonism, not taking anything too seriously. Here there are no axes to grind, but no relief society centerpieces either. You will love this show whether you attend church weekly, occasionally, or never! We're trying to bring everyone together in a common place. Send us an email and let us know what you think and what you'd like to hear!
