Mormon Stories Podcast

Updated after listening to around 100 episodes – I still believe this is a solid podcast, and truth be told I run to listen to newly dropped episodes. However, there are some small but disturbingly problematic issues.

Are they supposed to be under YOUR control?!?!?? I guess one got away. You are vile human beings. Please seek help for your mental illness. fYI - I’m not Morman and never have been

Never change the long form! Also loving getting more Gerardo lately. Always look forward to hearing his perspective and thoughts and am so glad he has this platform.
