  • Really unkind

    I am really disappointed by your episode about trans folks. I get that there are opposing perspectives in this controversial topic but it is very unfair to discuss trans rights and trans healthcare without including a trans person in the conversation. This is like having an episode about women’s rights without including a woman. Or talking about black people and the priesthood without talking to any black people about the pain that causes. (Actually, now that I type this, I realize you have ... more

  • The powerful brain of Bill.

    That should be a tee shirt! With a Pinky and the Brain vibe. Bill is exceptional at educating. He chooses fascinating topics and can flawlessly break them down into understandable pieces. By the end you feel validated as a post-mo and edified on the church.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

LDS Church vs The Wall Street Journal
Q: What are your thoughts on the divide between those who stay and those who leave the LDS Church?
The divide is painful and is often compared to a divorce. Both sides experience hurt, and the church's teachings exacerbate these feelings.
The Legal Battles of Mormonism’s Joseph Smith
Q: Do you think his legal encounters could have stuck with the treason charges?
It's possible he could have escaped serious consequences, but given the evidence against him, especially regarding his actions within the Nauvoo government and public interactions, the treason charges were serious and might have led to significant repercussions.
Predatory Techniques of Mormonism’s Prophet Joseph Smith
Q: Do you think Joseph Smith was exhibiting predator grooming behavior?
Yes, the evidence shows a deliberate pattern of behavior consistent with grooming tactics.
Mormon Spiritual Abuse
Q: Do you see the other leaders having the same sort of commitment to truth as your dad?
Tueller thinks some might truly believe while others ignore the truth due to the fear of losing their status.
Mormon Spiritual Abuse
Q: Why you and why this book?
Tueller felt it was time to share the stories of those who experienced abuse in the church, as these narratives are often not highlighted.
