“I am really disappointed by your episode about trans folks. I get that there are opposing perspectives in this controversial topic but it is very unfair to discuss trans rights and trans healthcare without including a trans person in the conversation. This is like having an episode about...”Read full review »

“That should be a tee shirt! With a Pinky and the Brain vibe. Bill is exceptional at educating. He chooses fascinating topics and can flawlessly break them down into understandable pieces. By the end you feel validated as a post-mo and edified on the church.”

“I appreciate at least the attempt to analyze the data objectively and I feel Bill and RFM honestly try to put their current biases aside in many of the episodes. They both have been so valuable in my deconstruction of Mormonism, giving voice and language to the dissonance I experience with so...”Read full review »

“Bill has beat the horse dead. His entire identity is “leaving the Mormon church” (even though he got kicked out). He talks about it 24/7, he’s obsessed. It’s not a good look. It’s time to move on.”

“Great information. Love the hosts. The tone is a lot less derisive than many other Ex-Mo podcasts.
One thing I would like is the organization. They have a bunch of different shows, which makes it harder to find episodes in the iPhone podcast app. It would be nice if they could organize the...”Read full review »

“There are some absolutely fantastic podcasts under this umbrella. Some of them I am not as interested in of course, but to each his own. The newest one – Rameumptum Ruminations — seems promising and interesting even though it has the worst podcast name in history.”

“I’ve listened to a number of episodes that I find interesting, but when reviewing books you have to meet authors for where they want to go rather than where you want them to. Givens doesn’t want to go down the road of historical criticism but he wants to look at lds texts as literature. I think...”Read full review »
