“Wow, I made it through the whole thing! After reading “Under the Banner of Heaven” several years ago, I became obsessed with LDS history. I read several books on the subject and many books on the individual major players.
I discovered “Naked Mormonism” about two years ago. I listened from beginning to end finishing on 08.17.2021. In total, I think Mr. Blankenagel did a great job. He worked through early LDS history in a thoughtful, thorough, and thought provoking manner. My shelves are weighed down with several more books as a result of listening to this podcast.
Mr. Blankenagel did a significant amount of growing up and evolving over the course of the podcast. His willingness to share his own emotional and intellectual reactions to Mormon, (and his own family’s), personal history is to be commended. At some points laudable and others cringe worthy. His willingness to self reflect and sometimes apologize for his honest and immediate emotional reaction to the content is refreshing and reflects the character instilled in him by his family, and, somewhat ironically, his LDS heritage. He matures significantly over the course of the podcast. It was an honor to be able to listen in on the process.
Naked Mormonism is full of history, perspective, wonderful interviews with modern Mormon historians and authors who offer additional and sometimes differing expertise and opinion on LDS history. It is partly objective history based on primary resources and partly subjective personal editorial based on lived experience and a quest seeking understanding of some difficult parts of human existence.
Naked Mormonism raises more questions than it answers. As it should. There are many branches left to explore and develop. Some, I hope, by Mr. Blankenagel himself and others by other people willing to carry the torch deeper into the recesses of tributary caves to shine light into the many cracks and crevices contained within. Too much here for any single individual to explore and reflect on.
The death of Josph Smith is really the end of the beginning of the history of the Saints. What lies ahead is equally fascinating, astonishing, and infuriating. I sincerely hope that Mr. Blankenagel continues his overview of this history of Mormonism, the American West, and the insight it gives into human nature itself.
Bravo Mr. Blankenagel! Carry on, carry on. Go West young man. Myself and many others will join you and help you along the way.”
