Heartrending and Necessary
12/28/2024
I spent the greater part of 40 years believing the LDS church was infallible. It took 3 years to unravel the tangle of truths and lies the church has made. This type of investigative journalism is invaluable for people like me that are unable to see things in the church on a global scale. The story is skillfully told and, while painful and saddening to listen to, it’s a story that must be told and heard be church members and non-members alike.
Uncomfortable Truths

This is such an important story to share to the world. Thank you for shining a light on this horrible tragedy that continues on. The more people are aware of this corruption the more likely there can be change for the better.
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
12/06/2024
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.
