I love this podcast, it gives so much insight and nuance to especially polygamy and ”mormons”, but also other sects, religions and cultures. Sam and Melissa are knowledgeable, balanced people who share their knowledge but also are transparent about when the do not know something and that is so valuable and important too. Keep up the great podcasting! 😊
Great podcast!!!
I grew up in the Episcopal Church, so I was unaware of the existence of sects like the Mormon Church and the FLDS, but I’m a very curious woman, and I’ve learned a lot about other less liberal sects of Christianity over the years! The things that I’ve discovered are very disturbing at times, and those things have made me glad that I don’t believe, and that i didn’t have to deal with the kinds of things that the two of you have!
Love Sam & Melissa! Such great content! Keep up the great work 🩷
