63: Zelph Hung Out On Our Shelf Mar 08, 2020

Show notes

As the episode title implies, we interviewed Samantha and Tanner from Zelph on the Shelf! Aw hell yeah! What a fun time as we got to know these two and heard their amazing insights into spirituality and their journeys out of Mormonism and into the inspiring humans they are today.
Some Zelph on the Shelf YouTube videos of note: Provo's Most Eligible, High on a Mountain Top, and Mormonforcement Exposes Zelph on the Shelf.
Samantha references Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harare and Inner Bonding by Margaret Paul.
Tanner references British writer and lecturer, Alan Watts, poet Mary Oliver, and American ethnobotanist and mystic, Terence McKenna.

LDL Letters 31: Amy's Handbook Outrage Mar 04, 2020

Show notes

Turns out we're not finished discussing the updated LDS handbook. This week we read a letter from our good friend Amy who has some definite thoughts on the subject. Get riled up with us, won't you?

62: A Big Fetch You to the Handbook! Mar 01, 2020

Show notes

This episode is all about the Mormon handbook's new policies against transgender people. Let's all raise a middle finger in the general direction of the LDS temple (it's as if Moroni is flipping a bird instead of blowing his trumpet). Along these lines, we also read a letter to the SLC Tribune written by our good friend Kimberly Anderson. So please grab a generous cup of outrage and join us, won't you?

LDL Letters 30: Pass the Gravy and the Guilt-n-Shame Feb 26, 2020

Show notes

This episode features letters from new name Laverne and Katheryn. Laverne was told by her church leaders to take on more and more responsibility (including raising her siblings) in order to please her deceased step mother. Makes total sense and seems about right for the Mormon church (insert eye rolling emoji). And we read about Katheryn bravely walking out on her abusive adoptive father's Thanksgiving dinner. Way to go, Katheryn!

61: Something About Mary Feb 23, 2020

Show notes

This episode is pretty much all about Mary. In recognition of her recent interview on the Brave Files Podcast (episode #101 available on your favorite podcast app), we decided to dedicate this show to the Ed McMahon, or in more relevant terms, the Andy Richter of podcast hosts: Mary Rutt. Warning: it gets heavy and downright depressing at times. There. You've been warned. We also have a FUMPOTD, a He Said What, and Sister Fanny Fact Check pays us a visit.

LDL Letters 29: My Pastor Wanted to Kill People Feb 19, 2020

Show notes

This episode features a letter from Elizabeth. She's a never Mo, ex evangelical...which is also fun (uh, that was sarcasm). Her minister compared her interest in women to his interest in murdering people. Sounds like a great guy (also sarcastic). Give a listen, won't you?

60: Pure: Interview with Author Linda Kay Klein Feb 16, 2020

Show notes

In this episode we interview Linda Kay Klein, author of Pure: Inside the Evangelical Movement That Shamed a Generation of Young Women and How I Broke Free. This was a fascinating episode and one to not miss (in our humble opinions). Linda references her website: lindakayklein.com, her non profit organization: breakfreetogether.org and David Dickerson who authored: House of Cards: The True Story of How a 26-Year-Old Fundamentalist Virgin Learned about Life, Love, and Sex by Writing Greeting Cards.

LDL Letters 28: Rocky Little Shop of Horrors Feb 12, 2020

Show notes

This week's letter is from Ari, a never-mo transgender woman who met her fiancé during a performance of a very iconic cult classic. Can you guess which one based on the title of this episode? Pretty sure Shelly is still confused. Hint: there's no Venus flytrap character. So grab a cup of Apostate Coffee and give a listen, won't you?
