Best podcast for understanding Mormon history and culture
Finally an honest look at Mormonism. The Mormon Stories (MS) podcasts from front to back are a journey in themselves. Not all podcasts are created equally, but I'm partial to those which focus on historical and anthropological aspects of Mormonsim. This isn't a romantic view of Mormonism, but if you value historical fact and understanding realities and challenges associated with a growing new world religion, then this is a great place to be. If you want a podcast that will give you warm fuzzies and only praise all things Mormonism, this might not be the place for you. Some of the facts presented here will challenge orthodox notions. At the same time, those unorthodox realities will give a new and probably accurate perspective on former and current church membership, and the challenges church leadership has had to deal with over the history of the LDS church. I'm a lifelong active Mormon and I have enjoyed the MS podcasts for a number of years now.Read full review »

I love these podcasts. Contrary to some recent posts that these podcasts are for the spiritually weak, I would counter that they are for those who want to know what they believe and why they believe it. I find the most spiritual content here in Mormon Stories. John does a great job at letting...Read full review »
