  • 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.
