  • Not super impressed

    I found these Podcasters to be a bit immature. For instance, they were telling the story about the mountain Meadow massacre in Utah that occurred nearly 200 years ago. One of them was saying that the LDS Church wouldn’t take responsibility for it for a long time (not accurate) and the other podcaster snottily replied, “Typical!” I am not from Utah nor am I Mormon/LDS but her tone towards their church was really offputting. Overall, I didn’t find their podcast to be very interesting, unfortunate... more

We then selected a later episode that was about our state. This later episode did not have the same two hosts, and one of them had too much bad language. Why?! It’s a great concept and I hope they learn how to tell a good story without the language. We would love to start listening to more (if they can clean up their language... more

  • Best Podcast and Podcast Hosts

    Was on a long road trip and ran out of podcasts so decided to start this one. A year later I’m still hooked. Lauren and Kenzie are great hosts and are wonderful at storytelling. Some of my friends have gotten hooked as well. I love the diversity of topics that are covered, and how they try to look at all sides/perspectives. I love how they also bring attention to social justice issues. Thanks for all your hard work guys.
