80: Suicide Safety and Prevention with Kimberly Anderson, MFA, MA, AMFT Jul 05, 2020

Show notes

After receiving an email from a listener who let us know that her girlfriend (also a listener) had recently died by suicide, we felt that we wanted to bring on therapist and friend, Kimberly Anderson, to help us navigate this topic. So this episode is dedicated to Charly. If someone you care about is contemplating suicide, please reference the links below for help. Thank you.
Kimberly is holding an open-to-the-public LGBTQ+ and Trauma Informed Suicide Education/Prevention workshop on July 12th at 7pm PST. Come one, come all. Also, please share: https://www.facebook.com/events/265060641466169/

79: Tired of the Transgender Bathroom Debate Jun 28, 2020

Show notes

Seriously, can we all just get over this subject and move on to more important topics, like learning how to love one another? This week's "He Said What" is a real treat, not really. We also have a fun Mormon Mad Lib and we read a couple of great letters. Please join us!

78: Reaction to the 6/15 Supreme Court Decision Jun 21, 2020

Show notes

This week we interview our friend, LDL Podcast Discussion Group moderator and transgender activist, Alice Ashton, about her thoughts surrounding the recent Title VII Supreme Court ruling. We also roast a literal crap-ton of FB trolls (pretty sure that’s a metric unit). Please join us.

76: Hey White People, Let’s Learn to Be Better Allies Jun 07, 2020

Show notes

In this episode we read from various racist LDS documents, including the BOM and the words of various "prophets" of the Mormon church. But even though that's part of our history, in many cases, that's not where the story has to end. Let's do something about it! We start with a fantastic article by Courtney Ariel entitled, For Our White Friends Desiring to Be Allies. It's informative and eye opening; hopefully you get as much out of it as we did. We also recommend the list of books, below.
Michelle Alexander: The New Jim Crow
Ta-Nehisi Coates: Between the World and Me
Claudia Rankine: Citizen
Ibram X. Kendi: Stamped from the Beginning / How to Be an Antiracist
Crystal M. Fleming: How to Be Less Stupid About Race
Ruby Hamad: White Tears/Brown Scars
Robin DiAngelo: White Fragility

75: Jesus Wants Me For a Lounge Chair May 31, 2020

Show notes

This week we officially debut our Mormon Mad Libs segment, so take a load off on our lounge chair and enjoy. We also break out not three, but FOUR whole Ds for Sister Fanny Fact Check's: Deep Dives into Dire Doctrine. And finally, we finish a listener letter and read a "She Said What" that seems sort of like a cry for help. Poor, poor Wendy Nelson.

74: In Plain Sight [WARNING: Intense Themes] May 24, 2020

Show notes

This week's episode features our interview with multiple kidnapping and abuse survivor, Jan Broberg. Jan speaks candidly about her family's relationship with Robert "B" Berchtold, and the often negative reactions her parents had to endure (including hate mail) in order to let the truth come out. Her story is complicated, heartbreaking and intense, so please be advised.

73: Shelly's Journal Journey May 17, 2020

Show notes

In this episode we dust off the LDL singers to introduce a brand-new segment entitled (cue music): "Shelly's Journal Journey" (yeehaw)! Hopefully, you won't curse us for getting yet another musical stinger stuck in your head. Also, Sister Fanny Fact Check stops by for a visit, and we begin part 1 of a letter from a listener named Jenna. Grab a cup of devil's brew and enjoy!

72: Mother's Day Mad Libs May 10, 2020

Show notes

Yes, you read correctly - this week we play a fun Mad Libs game from a ridiculous brain washy LDS child's song that's somehow supposed to celebrate motherhood. We also read a letter from one kick-ass grandma (you have to be a mother to later be a grandmother, so it counts). So moms (and non moms), grab a generous pour of Apostate Coffee and join us!
