Infants on Thrones episodes

March 24, 2016 Ep 269 – Pornography, Fathers-in-Law, and YOU
This is a fro-back episode to the first ever pre-Infant group-discussion between Jake, Matt, Randy, and Glenn, with some important love and support from Heather C. from Mormon Expositor (not Infant Heather C.. Yeah, it’s confusing.) and Erica S. And it is funny. And abhorrent. And a definite portent of things to come.

March 21, 2016 Ep 268 – Randy’s Really Real PPI
Glenn, Matt, Heather, and John interview Randy for his long-awaited PPI. Randall Snyder is a skeptic, a naturalist, a humanist, an atheist, a proud husband of 18 year and father of 3 sons, an orthodontist, a huge fan of the USC Trojans, the seahawks, The Simpsons, Louis C.K., Monty Python, and Key and Peele.

Randy is the fifth of seven children brought up in the church in southern California. He attended Ricks College, served a mission in Tempe Arizona, finished at BYU and went on to USC dental school. In his mid thirtees, after serving actively in the church his whole George W Bush voting adult life including as a high priests’ group leader which is kind of a big deal, he began investigating the church’s truth claims in 2008 which set him on the path toward secularism, skepticism, philosophism, flaming liberalism, and podcastism. Known for his intensity and foul mouth, Randy is the inimitable angry atheist of Infants on Thrones and everybody’s BFF.

March 06, 2016 Ep 265 – Dear Elder Bednar
Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile

The Infants pay a brief but special tribute to the recent remarkable words and message of Elder David A(hole) Bednar, and to the huge Packer-sized stick shoved up his member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ass. Special thanks to Lily Allen for nailing it so completely.
Matt asks, “Hey Glenn, where was this two days ago?”
Well it’s here now.

February 28, 2016 Ep 263 – Tribute to a Dear Friend
Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile

Glenn pays tribute to Kevin, his childhood friend. The guy who was in a private plane crash when he was 5 years old and lost all feeling in his legs; the guy who saw his wheelchair as a mark of his worthiness, or lack their of, and tragically took his own life at the young age of 31. Glenn was asked to speak at Kevin’s funeral back in November 2002, and recently found the audio of that speech, as well as some journal entries where he struggles with the doctrinal implications of Kevin’s death.

February 21, 2016 Ep 262 – A Tale of Two Poelmans
Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile

In 1984, Elder Ronald E Polman delivered a talk titled “The Gospel and the Church” in General Conference. It emphasized the importance of an eternally divine gospel being delivered through a man-made fallible church. The Brethren did not like this message, and made him re-write the talk to make the church as eternally divine and infallible as the gospel. They also made him re-deliver the talk in front of an empty tabernacle to record it and pass it off as the original. But thanks to home VCRs, they got caught. And today you can hear all about it, including clips from both the original talk and the re-written message. So listen in as Glenn and Scott (aka Jesse) are joined by Rock Waterman and James Rogers two discuss A Tale of two Poelmans.
*This recorded conversation was previously released in January 2011 on another podcast but has since been removed. Now it is back where it belongs.

February 16, 2016 Ep 261 – Randy’s Teeny Tiny Sorta PPI
We started Randy’s PPI tonight, but due to technical difficulties, we didn’t get too far. But this recording was far too fun to leave on the cutting room floor. So listen in as Randy is interviewed by Glenn, John, Heather and Matt. Randy’s Massive Turgid Actual PPI will be recorded and ready in a few […]

February 14, 2016 Ep 260 – Ezra Taft Benson: The Smackdown
Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile

Fun fact: this episode was almost titled “Communist-lead Negro Guerrilla Units.” Why? Find out for yourself as Randy, Glenn, and Matt welcome Anissa and Kim back to the podcast to smack down a 1967 conference talk from Ezra Taft Benson called “Civil Rights: Tool of Communist Deception.”
Fair warning: do not drink any dark liquids while listening to this episode, as you might unintentionally yet fervidly stain your habiliments.
