  • Broken episode

    I started listening to Episode 422 which seems really interesting, but the episode has weird skips. Some times it will skip back a few minutes, then it will skip back, cutting off sections of the discussion. It’s hard to get into a podcast with these issues.

  • Episode 413

    I was curious to listen to this one as I am very interested in temple history. However, disappointed to have listened for an hour and to not hear a single mention of masonry or its influence on the temple clothes or ceremony or temple at all…seems like that is a pretty clear piece of the history that may have been left out to your listeners.

  • Too many “likes”

    I’m very excited about the new Mormon’s in Media addition to the Mormonland podcast. I was eager to listen to the first installment, but could only listen for a brief time. The podcasters said “like” far too many times and it’s grating in the nerves and sounds very unprofessional. I hope they can correct this unconscious habit because I’m excited about what they have to say. Thanks, a loyal listener.

McKay Coppins on sports betting for Latter-day Saints | Episode 457
Q: Okay, so McKay, briefly explain what this assignment was.
The assignment was to report on the booming sports betting industry by interviewing industry executives, gamblers, and counselors, but the editors suggested he gamble as part of the reporting to understand the experience firsthand, while maintaining professional boundaries and seeking his bishop's counsel.

‘My mom cried and my dad went silent,’ says gay son of famed LDS composer | Episode 451
Q: Looking back, could the church or culture have done something differently to help keep you in the room?
Jeff and Michael acknowledge that while change is ongoing, accountability and apology for past harms could help, but personal work and conversation are essential for healing, and staying committed to unconditional love matters most.
‘My mom cried and my dad went silent,’ says gay son of famed LDS composer | Episode 451
Q: What advice would you offer to gay kids or young adults growing up in the LDS faith who want to connect with their family while staying true to themselves?
