The Podcast

Analyzing Mormonism also has a podcast!

​The podcast seeks to discuss the life of Joseph Smith and the teachings of the Mormon Church, properly called The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My intention is to share sources and details about the church to help members and non-members take an honest look at the history and theology of the Church. In many ways it is my aim to make every listener a Mormon historian.

Lately I've been on Mormon Stories Podcast as part of the 
LDS Discussions series. I will be adding links to those as well.
