  • The hilarious LDS podcast you didn’t know you need

    Cardon and the co hosts and contributors are one of my favorite listens. They’re doing something nobody else is doing, and it’s sorely needed. Making us laugh at ourselves and bringing a pick-me-up after slogging through the garbage online slamming the church and pouring down secularism.

  • I want to love them, but…

    I just can’t bring myself to do it. I feel while they go over interesting subjects, and controversial stuff, which I love by the way, I don’t care for how they go about. It usually is kind of counterproductive and it feels sometimes like Mormon Republican propaganda from the host which is really upsetting.

    My favorite episodes have probably been Jacob Hansen and other similar guests joining the show to share their insightful words and so whenever I’d start hearing the host talking again I’d r... more
