Maxwell Institute Podcast Maxwell Institute Podcast

The MI Podcast has shown me many kindred spirits who have thought of the gospel much like I do, but who might not be unmasked as such in a typical Sunday worship service. It has also revealed many who challenge me to think a little differently. Through both Blair’s more interfaith-focused Podcasts and Terryl’s Latter-day Saint centric Conversations, a feeling of openness and receptivity pervades. There is no judgment for the listener who either agrees or disagrees with the interviewee.

One bit of criticism: I think Terryl tends to talk too much in these interviews (questions that seem “more a comment than a question”). I love Terryl’s thoughts, so there could definitely be worse interviewers to take such a tack! But he could learn on this from Blair, who is one of the most knowledgeable, well-prepared, and generous interviewers I’ve ever heard.

This podcast is an important supplement to my own worship and study of the Word.

...and it was marvelous. Thank you for this fantastic, inspiring episode. Blair, thank you for your thoughtful interviewing style. And thanks to all the guests. I particularly enjoy the interfaith dialogue this podcast fosters.

The Maxwell Institute Podcast is definitely in the top three of my personal feed. Blair Hodges (and intermittently Terryl Givens) is a conscientious and insightful interviewer who brings valuable knowledge, experience, compassion, and genuine interest to every episode. I enjoy the breadth of topics covered, ranging from subjects I’m already interested in to disciplines I know nothing about. Thank you for opening my mind to new things and nourishing me with the word.
