  • Helping me in my faith journey

    The folks on this show are well informed, open minded, and funny. I get a little thrill of excitement when my app informs me of a new episode, and I learn so much every time I listen! I’ve been impressed beyond measure with guests and discussions. I share the new things I learn with my friends and family, whether they’re members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints or not. Thank you for doing this work and being a part of my faith journey!

  • Serious! Fun!

    Ritchies brings in great interviews talking with a wide variety of views, in and out of the Church, being serious, being fun, and doing all the things to be thought provoking. He and his cohosts also do so well together, and he has such a great variety of voices to play off of. Definitely worth listening to this podcast in show form.

By the time all the personal observations and opinions are presented there is time for only a few items. The hosts themselves say that they should have budgeted the time better but each week it is the same. There are other podcasts that have snarky ban... more

  • You keep me light hearted

    Thank you for your work keeping us updated and also enlightening us on most things within the LDS church. As my culture within the church has changed, you have been a guide for me.

    Keep interviewing the solid guests and sharing the news. Much of what you share is not readily available for those of us outside of the Jello belt.

    Loved the Lindy interview today! Also, looking forward to our temple dedication #201 this weekend. Go Wyo!
