May 02, 2017 Ep 368 – Check-back from the Neck-flap
Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile

Glenn provides a brief update on the listener responses that have come in from yesterday’s episode (TLDL: no, we are not shutting down Infants on Thrones) and shares a particularly awesome mission story, if he does say so himself (And he does. Trust me. I know. Cuz he is me, referring to himself in the third person. Like a weirdo. Trust me on that one, too).

April 30, 2017 Ep 367 – Check-up from the Neck-up
Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile

This one’s a two-fer. Two episodes in one. First, Glenn, Matt, and Scott talk about stuff. Then, Randy, Glenn, Tom, Matt and Bob talk about more stuff. Then there’s a pretty long easter egg at the end with even more talking about even more stuff. And there’s that whole thing about three patterns. Plus, you will never guess who is quitting Infants on Thrones!

April 21, 2017 Ep 365 – Froback Friday – Little Factories
Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile

One of our best episodes ever. First published in July 2014, this may be the very first word-for-word, pick-it-apart Infant Smackdown.
In 1976, our favorite LDS Apostle, Boyd K. Packer gave a talk in priesthood session “To Young Men Only” that was not subsequently published in the Ensign the following month, nor can it be found as a conference talk on LDS.org today. It was turned into a pamphlet in 1981 “To Young Men Only” and that text is available on LDS.org but the audio and video are not on the official website of the LDS church.
But we Infants found an audio copy. And in this episode, Glenn, Tom, Matt, and Jake dissect it as it has never been dissected before. Hold on to your little factories, cuz this is gonna be a good one.

April 15, 2017 Ep 364 – Ask an Infant – Good Friday
Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile

Historian extraordinaire John Hamer rains credibility all over the Infants by Hamsplaining the origin of Good Friday. With tongue firmly in cheek, of course (aka “Infant Style”)

April 07, 2017 Ep 362 – Infant General Conferences of Yore
Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile

Is this episode filled with new material or recycled Fro-back Friday material? With General Conference, it’s nearly impossible to tell. Regardless, this is chalk full of some of the best stuff we have ever done. Love it as we do. Amen.

April 02, 2017 Ep 361 – The Mormon Testimony Bearing Phenomenon

Join Randy, his brother Jimmy, and Heather as they have a Hamerless discussion about how bearing your testimony colors the entire Mormon experience from the innocent days of being a Sunbeam toddler to the greatest of us in the highest reaches of leadership in Zion. I’d like to testify to you that I know you will enjoy this episode. In the name of optimism and narcissism, Amen.

April 01, 2017 Ep 360 – Froback Friday – Morality, Blame, and a Mormon Family’s Divorce
Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile

Does shared morality bind and blind? If so, what does it blind us to? Glenn revisits a 7-year-old Mormon Stories episode he recorded in April 2010 with his divorced parents, his two siblings, and the ever-inquisitive John Dehlin. But this time, Glenn looks at it through the eyes of Jonathan Haidt’s Moral Foundations Theory because the Moral Foundations Theory has been totally rocking Glenn’s world lately. Maybe it will rock yours, too.
