The narrator’s voice is very soothing and perfect for this topic. I enjoyed the insights given about the first vision of Joseph Smith. Thank you for producing this and I look for to upcoming topics.

i was really in a pinch and this show came in handy

The new like that burst forth wasn’t only in the First Vision, but through out the six episodes to which I just listened! I loved the serene and soft tones of these presentations. They were so easy to listen to that I needed to hear everyone. I learned some small detailsI had not known before....Read full review »

Great podcast full of good information. The somber tone of the podcaster is difficult to listen to. I'd rather he present his in information in a engaging way and then save his somber tone for somber moments.Read full review »

What a well-made, beautifully written and executed podcast. Wonderful new insights from this historian’s research and interviews about The First Vision. I can’t wait for the second one, The Priesthood Restored, coming out in January 2021.

This podcast is exactly what I’ve needed to refocus on the greatest most important message in the world.

We truly are watched over and loved by our savior and redeemer, Jesus Christ, and Father in Heaven. Love this podcast and it’s simplicity
Jed Colvin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/20/20
He’s an adulterous false prophet. Not fit to even be an elder much less a prophet!
Coolfool33 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/20
It’s been proven, time and time again, that he story of Joseph Smith is full of lies and falsehoods. Smith made up a religion for person profit. Why can’t I go to a museum and see Lamanite archeological evidence?

Looking at the history and events of the time, the way people lived and experienced religion really gives context and explains why things happened the way they did. I am so glad they put this podcast together and it has strengthened my faith in God, Christ, and the restoration of the Gospel in...Read full review »

I love listening to Spencer W. McBride, and all the fascinating insights and details provided by he and others. I pray that this podcast continues on and on.
momtomany09 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/10/20
Great details. An honest clear look into the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint.
Lemew10 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/03/20
This caused me to think about events I’ve heard about my whole life in a brand new way.

More please!
shesco7 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/20
This is a wonderful, informative, historical telling of the history of Joseph Smith’sfirst vision. Loved it! Great details of what lead to this vision, and what knowledge we have of it and where those sources came from. So interesting!! Wish it were longer! Still great synopsis of it.
Gildz6o via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/25/20
Just wish they were longer. Great insight.
utahpadre via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/20
Well done and offered context that I hadn’t considered before. Well done podcast.
tim el via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/14/20
So bad! Missing so much information. Lies of omission and straight lies continue.
Shayjakec via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/20
We are certainly living in a golden age of gospel scholarship. The ease of access to sources, productions, materials, and so on is matches only by their increasingly improving quality! The abundance of books, lectures, podcasts, institutions, publications, shows, and commentaries presents a...Read full review »

Thank you for putting together a wonderful, insightful and informative podcast.

What a wonderful presentation of various sources of information. Very well done. I hope more podcasts on other topics are released by these Church historians and same host.

Thank you for creating such a great historical resource.

Please do more of these excellent podcasts.

I thoroughly enjoyed this series! Thanks to all who helped compile and produce it! It was beautifully executed. I appreciated the cultural history mixed in with the theological. I’m looking forward to more series from the Joseph Smith Papers Project!
RRieb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/20
I’m not a deep thinker or gospel scholar and usually take things for face value. This podcast provided historical facts and insight in a clear way that gave the first vision a whole new meaning to me.
PCMJMN via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/29/20
5 stars for the content of this podcast, I love the research and depth here. My only complaint is the music that plays every 5 minutes when you are transitioning between topics. It is too loud and very out of place in the middle of the podcast. I would prefer to hear nothing, or much quieter...Read full review »

Great podcast with a lot of things I didn’t know about the restoration and first vision.... I also agree with the other review that I was hoping for more references other than BYU professors.
cjhoemke via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/27/20
The Mormon church and the story of Joseph Smith is nothing more than the enemy trying to distort and add to the Lord’s already perfect work that was accomplished on the cross by Jesus Christ- the one and only Son of God- who came to earth, lived a perfect life, and was crucified on the cross as a...Read full review »
JKempLovesJesus via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/27/20
I’m about to start the third episode and I’m lovin’ it. Easy to listen to, perfect length, not the same old retelling, thought provoking, love the music and pace. This is just so soo good!
Shelicesaves via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/22/20
No doubt that some solid effort went into making this podcast, but I was a little disappointed at how bias it is. I was hoping for a mixture of inputs from members and non members, but this essentially felt like a BYU lecture series. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s why it has had so...Read full review »

Great podcast with cool insights. The restoration is a marvelous thing!
MatthewPE via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/20/20
I really enjoyed this podcast. I don’t know much about the history other than what you hear every 4 years or so in Sunday school, so it was refreshing to hear from historians. I loved the way the information is broken up too, into 6 episodes, each with a strong theme. I have learned a lot from...Read full review »

I like how all of the episodes lead up to and explain more of what the events and circumstances were in Joseph’s life that prompted the first vision.
Drewbie_ via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/16/20
This podcast is a scholarly take on the First Vision, and it explains the history of Joseph Smith and the First Vision. You will only find what you are looking for. If you want to find ways to build your faith and learn about the vision, you will find it. Come with an open mind, and learn of the...Read full review »

Clearly well researched and thought out. Historical contexts I’ve never heard before. Super interesting, highly recommend.
bigbert123 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/16/20
Beautifully done! So grateful for Joseph Smith and all he went through! I’m hoping more episodes will come soon.
Tarlesthom82 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/15/20
Great way to gain a better understanding of the First Vision.
MILESJN via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/15/20
I enjoyed the first 5 episodes of this podcast. The six episode was a bit of a departure from the others and it was not interesting to me. I recommend the first five episodes!
runzil via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/15/20
I really liked how this podcast was done. I learned a lot and it clarified some questions, but even more it left me with a desire to learn more. After listening I couldn’t help but find myself reading the Joseph Smith papers and all his accounts of the First Vision. And now after reading those,...Read full review »

What a great tool to increase my understanding and testimony of the First Vision and the Prophet Joseph Smith. Especially as Pres. Nelson has encouraged a greater study prior to the April General Conference Bicentennial. Thank you!
Spoonshot via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/14/20
I loved listening to this. I gained a deeper understanding of Joseph’s account. I feel more connected and feel more love for Joseph and my Heavenly Father. Thank you for sharing the insights and history. Narrator was great and the pictures and ideas were painted clearly.

Need view of the first vision. I will be forever grateful to a young boy and his courage!
