Apple Podcasts5BBushman98United Statesa year ago - Amazing!
This series is amazing! Matt Harris is a remarkable and thoughtful scholar who tackles a sensitive history with care and honesty. The series also sheds light on how things actually work within the church. This is worth every member’s, ex-member’s, and likely even never-member’s time! Mr. Harris took fifteen years writing this book and the amount of insight and information is astounding!

Apple Podcasts5Sleeper0097United States2 years ago - Insightful and profound
I love listening to Harris share his immense historical knowledge. His analysis is insightful and appeals to the history major in me. As always, Dehlin is a thoughtful host. He leads the conversation tactfully and allows his guests to shine.
Whether you have an interest in 20th century American history (particularly the Civil Rights Movement), or have a dog in the Mormon fight, this podcast is worth every minute!
