  • 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.
