Latter-day Saints are a people of radical faith. Their tradition is one in which angels visit everyday people and sometimes men and women see the divine in stones. In this podcast we examine the lived religion of Latter-day Saints, the stories we tell, and the beliefs we debate. Join Christine and Chris Blythe, professional folklorists and LDS converts who openly profess their faith while exploring the traditions of their chosen people.

Demons 7: Chad's Demons
Where did Chad Daybell come up with his elaborate theology of demons? Turns out some basic ideas had their roots in the Latter-day Saint tradition, as well as the Bible, but the more peculiar developments occurred among a group of fringe visionaries in the twenty-first century.

Customer Reviews
I love this podcast!
It seems that I learn something new and interesting in every episode. This was the first time I heard about the martyrdom canes, was riveted! Keep up the good work.
Fascinating topics
I love this podcast! I love learning more about folklore and this show has introduced me to some new ideas I had never considered. Please keep going! It makes me nostalgic for my BYU days all those years ago.
Love the show
Mostly for entertainment purposes but there happens to be some great stories in here. Like any culture, group of people, or region whether in current times or past you will find folklore and stories that are perpetuated. Some of these might be true some might now be, either way it’s entertaining as much as a movie that is BASED ON A TRUE STORY. Keep up the great work! Thank you
