Leave the pro-Mormon bent out of it
The story of the Powell family is fascinating and the production value of the podcast is high, but it's being suffocated by the blatant pro-Mormon bias from the narrator and KSL in general.

What's more, much of the noxious, patriarchal attitudes of the Powells can be attributed directly TO Mormonism. It's clear to me that KSL is not the right group to tell this story. They lack the neutrality to really understaand what happened, and the result is a cautionary tale for Mormons who are thinking about leaving the fold. Also, invest in a little creativity.
