Multilevel marketing is something of an American tradition. Journalist Bridget Read tells the story of the money-making schemes that continue to ensnare people today.

Jesus’s mother Mary likely lived for over 40 years, but many believers only think of her in two places, the Nativity and the Crucifixion. The scholar James Tabor wants to change that.

  • Public lands discussion

    Just across the border, Idahoans don’t seem to have the same sentiment about transferring lands to the state. Polls show a majority of Idahoans reject the idea due to cost of management and the constitutional obligation Idaho would have to sell the land to maximize profit.

  • Ever episode

    Overrated !!!

    The host tends to try to lead up to asking the person a question by telling them what it is he wants them to answer in so much detail and then answers the question before he lets the person have a chance to speak. Also, then continues on to say “talk about it.”

    He says, “talk about it”so many times it is irritating!

    I have listened to this podcast over many year but can no long.

    No longer a suscriber.

  • Need to fix Podcast feed

    Update: it seems like the issues I described have been improved. Thank you!

    I love Radio West, It’s very well produced and engaging. However, this podcast feed has some issues. The episodes appear and disappear at random. I save them to my feed and then they get taken off. PLEASE fix these issues! I know the episodes are on their website, but it’s much more convenient to have them on Apple podcasts.
