“They need to clarify that this is an anti Mormon podcast. If you want to spend your time tearing other people down, that's your choice. But you should be clear in the description and episodes that that is your goal and purpose. Otherwise I feel like you are actively trying to deceive.”Read full review »

“I was raised LDS and left the church for good about 10 years ago because it just didn’t feel right. I didn’t give it much thought until I started to listen to Mormon stories. I’m angry that I was raised under delusions and lies but it’s nice to finally see the church in the correct light. I feel...”Read full review »

things Mormonism and high demand religions in general. This podcast was a lifeline when I was deconstructing my faith and when I was experiencing the anger loss and betrayal that generally happens when leaving Mormonism. Now...”Read full review »

“I was looking for something uplifting to listen to between general conference sessions. This was NOT it. This channel should be called “Mormon Complaints” rather than Stories. I was disappointed that every issue that was addressed in this episode led to the conclusion that the church was in the...”Read full review »

“The Ruby Franke ep is EPIC! To have the completely outside perspective of the Canadian YouTuber learn about the essential tenants of the Mormon church as NOT fringe but core was fabulous. I loved every moment and would love MORE MORE MORE.”

“This podcast has helped me so much. As a former LDS Bishop from Utah, I saw how much of the good and much of the bad of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints from the inside.
In my opinion the Church’s main priority is to protect it self. In service of this priority, the church...”Read full review »

“I left the church after discovering Sandra and Jerald Tanner in the early 90s. I found Mormon stories a few months ago while helping a young person navigate their faith crisis. It has not just been helpful for them, but dealing with issues I did not know I still needed to deal with. John is a...”Read full review »

And now they are spying on gay people who choose to attend church to see if they take the sacrament. This seriously happened.”
