Welcome to the MormonNewsRoundup!

Get to know Randy, may I call you Randy? (10 minutes)

You have earned the nickname as the master of disaster. How did you earn that nickname and how do you feel about it?

Last year you appeared on Mormon stories, what has been the reaction to your episode?

You are active on the LDS podcasting circuit recently hosting an episode on Mormonism Live for instance, what draws you to this space?

Is there anything else about your personal life or religious beliefs that you would like to share?

MNRU Joke Of the week

Randy, is this exploitation?

A woman who was molested for years by her stepfather has been awarded $2.28 billion by a California jury in a lawsuit that also implicated her mother and the local Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Historically high level of award
