Great Podcast with Questionable Ethics
This truly is a great podcast. The depth this team goes into is startling and amazing However when it comes time that history moves west the episode on Mormonism is biased at best and intentionally ignorant at worst. He warns ahead of time that almost everyone on podcast is Mormon and he claims he had non Mormons read over the podcast and say it was fair and truthful with no objections. I would object. He glosses over the plural marriages of Mormon leaders, by saying only 1 out of 6 practiced this. However all of the founders of the church and the richest men all did. He discuss Bringham Young, but leaves out his over 50 wives and never mentions the fact that he married girls as young as 13. He just omits parts of history because he has either been instructed to do so, is uncomfortable with his church’s founders past or he is trying to just ignore behavior of men that should be described as pedophiles. The problem is that if he will ignore the truth if it hits to close to home what other parts of history as he left out or misrepresented. He is a Professor and this leads to massive questions.

The narration makes it unlistenable. The narrator tries too hard to emote, and employs unnecessary conversationalism. It's a way of talking down to the audience. A shame since the subjects are so worthy.Read full review »
