Heaven's Helpline
How far has the Mormon church gone to cover up abuse? When journalist Murray Jones started looking into the church's finances in New Zealand, an intriguing Facebook post alerted him to a much bigger - and much darker - scandal. From the NZ Herald, Heaven's Helpline is a six-part investigation into how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints built a system thatprotects its wealth and reputation – and shields sexual predators from the law. Listen to episodes weekly from October 17th. Funded by NZ on Air.

Accurate and fair

I pray that the LDS church will change its policies and protect the vulnerable. Also, stop demanding tithing from your members. How greedy can you be?
Phenomenal reporting

I’m an ex Mormon from Utah, and this podcast is amazing about highlighting a lot of faults in the church with an objective lens. Murray shares important stories that definitely resonate with where I grew up, even half a world away. Murray also really nails the Mormon hierarchy and breakdown of the church structures/teachings as well, especially for someone who never has been Mormon! Phenomenal podcast, great work, excellent production.
Great podcast

This is extremely well researched, and the host is very balanced. When I learned the true history of the church I stopped believing, but when I read the AP article, I had to remove my name from the records. ( you know, through a lawyer, and had to get it notarized lol) Thank you for this reporting. It’s important.
Ex-Mormon

As an ex-Mormon, I can tell you that what has been reported in this podcast is true. I experienced abuse and other girls I know did as well. The abuses were known and no one did anything about it. Actually, they did do something, they protected the abusers. Changes in the Mormon church can, and should be made. I’m not sure I believe they will make the needed changes to support and help those that have been abused. And to help stop abuse altogether.
