July 03, 2016 Ep 287 – Independence Day 2016
Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile

A never-Mormon from England stumbled across Infants on Thrones and tells us who she is and what she thinks. A woman comes to terms with her reaction to her drag Queen husband. A physician who suffers from Crohns Disease explains the psychological and emotional impact of daily chronic pain, and a way that understanding changes the traditional narrative of Jesus bleeding from every pore in the Atonement. These are just a few of the many excellent listener essays in today’s Infant Compilation. They are all very good, except for the bad parts. (that’s not a slam — it’s a reference to one of the essays. You’ll see what I mean)

June 26, 2016 Ep 286 – Priesthood Power and the Magic Worldview
Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile

John Hamer teaches Glenn, Randy, and Jake a thing or two about the LDS priesthood. And its origins. And its authority. And its power. And the magical-ness of the Mormon Worldview. And it is funny. And informative. And will tickle your ears, warm your hearts, and engorge your brains. Do not seek the treasure (we thought you was a toad).

June 23, 2016 Ep 285 – Hey Jeremy…
Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile

Ever wonder why the Infants are such smug, dismissive, judgmental, black-and-white thinking ex-mormons who are no better than the smug, dismissive, judgmental, black-and-white thinking Believing Mormons who they smugly and dismissively mock, and bully, and disrespect again and again and again? Well one listener named Jeremy has and asked the question, “Why you gotta be so caustic, yo? Can’t you Infants just respect people, dog?” So listen in as Matt and Glenn say, “Hey Jeremy… here’s what we think of all that. Homey.”

May 30, 2016 Ep 280 – Mormon Weddings
Do you [Jake, Erica, John, Heather, Tom and Bob] take this man or woman to be your awfully wedded whatever, to have and to scold from this day forward; for better or worse, but it sure as hell better be better; for richer, for slightly but not noticeably poorer and even then only until after grad school; forget sickness, only in health; to loathe and to cherish simultaneously; till suspicious death do you part, so help you Zog? Just say “Yes”. Only heathens say, “I do.” Then by the powers vested in us by the Abiding Dude, we now pronounce you married. You may kiss, or roll your eyes at each other. Probably both. After the reception, you may also defile each other clumsily and briefly in the Lord’s anointed way in a suite at The Little America. And that, is how babies are made.
