  • My kind of learning

    I am 50 years old. I’ve had A.D.D. My whole life. Church was always a struggle for me cause I never learned anything cause my brain gets bored too quickly and it wonders and I stop listening. I came across a YouTube video of these guys. Their way of discussing things keeps me drawn to it the whole time. And learning things from the apocrypha as well as other ancient texts have opened my eyes to so many things. I wish I could hang out with these guys all the time. I guess I’ll just have to settl... more

  • Generally not my cup of tea

    I appreciate that this is trying to create a different style of LDS podcast that may appeal to a different demographic but I generally find them to be loud and obnoxious. I also think it’s in pretty bad taste to speak poorly of other LDS podcasters, especially those that actually know what they’re talking about. Anyway, I think this might be positive for the right audience but I generally find this podcast to not be my cup of tea, but I’m probably not who they’re targeting.

  • “Moses verse 1:34, it says, And the first man of all men have I called Adam, which is many”

    I believe this is referring to the many worlds God has created. Adam is a title for the first man of each world, just like Eve is a title for the mother of all living.

  • 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’m a millennial, but my boomer parents and Gen Z and Gen Alpha nieces and nephews love this show equally. No topic is off limits. The tone is always playful and conciliatory. I feel the spirit. I laugh. I cry. ... more
