Special and remarkable thanks to Andrew, Holly, Jordan, and Sage for their special and remarkable contributions.

October 21, 2016 Ep 316 – The New Atheist Guide to Not Being a Total A$shole – Episode 6: Belief
Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile

In this, the sixth episode of the NAG, join Sage and fellow ‘nobody’ Drew as they explore the concepts of belief, wonder and spirituality as Atheists. They’ll ask poignant questions such as ‘What is the ultimate truth of the universe?’ not so poignant questions like ‘Do animals believe in god?’ and even questions no one thought to ask like ‘Can you worship a magic motorcycle?’ Enjoy!
Featured tracks: Cover of Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’ by Holly Henry, Carl Sagan’s ‘Pale Blue Dot’ accompanied by Ludovico Einaudi’s “The Earth Prelude”

October 17, 2016 Ep 315 – I Don’t Belong Here (“Creep”)
By popular demand, here is Heather’s moving remix of Scala & Kolacny Brothers’s cover of “Creep,” featured at the end of our latest General Conference episode. Consider it a nod to the upcoming 1-year anniversary of the infamous policy change. Feel free to share it.

October 16, 2016 Ep 313 – Remarkable Development
Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile

Matt and Glenn try (and maybe sorta momentarily succeed, we hope) to sift away all partisanship from conversations from this past crazy week and focus on the one unifying message that everyone should agree on. Lewd and derogatory male attitudes towards women can no longer be considered acceptable in our world. It’s about much more than politics now. It’s about our mothers, and daughters, and wives, and friends. It’s about improving our shared social morality. Positive words can have a measurable impact on the physical world. That isn’t just magical thinking. We’re hoping the words of this episode will add our small piece to this current critical mass to make this moment of awareness one that will transform our world and not be soon forgotten. And Matt shares a clip from the Simpsons.

October 11, 2016 Ep 312 – Fear 2016: Trumpocalypse
Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile

In the outstanding tradition of Infant October Fear episodes, Glenn explains his very real fear of the potential impending Trumpocalypse. No kitty cats were grabbed in the making of this episode.

October 09, 2016 Ep 311 – Apocalypse
Randy, John, and Heather welcome siblings Jimmy and Ben to talk about the End of the World and to laugh and giggle. A lot. It’s a smart, funny discussion that will have you hoarding wheat, powdered milk, and liquor in no time. Enjoy.

October 06, 2016 Ep 310 – The ExMo Guru Part Deux: Meditation as a Place to Go
Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile

Infants on Thrones proudly presents Tom Perry once again as The ExMo Guru in the most relevant brilliant earth-shattering performance of Brother Perry’s storied career (yes I am a huge homer of a Tom Perry fan, Rock Star that he is). But don’t take my word for it. Listen! Listen now! Your eternal relaxation depends on it! And this salvation is free (it will only cost 21 minutes of your time and a small portion of your innocence). What are you waiting for? Listen already!

October 02, 2016 Ep 309 – Unrighteous Dominion defeated by Kick(butt) Michelle
Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile

Want to hear the real reason Mormon leaders don’t want women to hold the priesthood?
In a follow-up interview to last week’s “Unrighteous Dominion” episode, Michelle and Adam join Glenn, Jake, and Matt to explain why they secretly recorded the bishop who likes swimming’ suits, and they share another secretly recorded discussion with the bishop, where Michelle valiantly stands up to the Patriarchy. And wins. Vicarious uppercut.

September 29, 2016 Ep 308 – Education and Faith
Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile

This is the audio to Glenn’s Sunstone presentation given on July 30, 2016, where Glenn explains the type of Mormon he was before and after his graduate studies (culminating in a MA Thesis Japanese Lost Tribes stories and a half-finished dissertation on Mormon Humor), and walks through some of the reasons why — for him — faith ultimately yielded to education (and uncertainty).
