Matt presents this dramatic recreation of the Lowry Letters, a little-known 1947 exchange between Sociology Professor Lowry Nelson and President George Albert Smith regarding the official LDS doctrine on the Negro.

How similar are Scientology and Mormonism? What do L Ron Hubbard and Joseph Smith have in common? How about Brigham Young and David Miscavige? And when is a cult not actually a cult? Infants Bob, Glenn, John, Randy, and Scott discuss these questions as they review the recent HBO documentary Going Clear.

Glenn and Randy conduct John Hamer’s first PPI since 1991. The topics range from John’s gay childhood crushes to his gay teen-aged deconstruction of Mormonism and his current gay metaphysical explorations. Strap in for a raucous philosophical ride! It will be really really gay.

Today’s episode features three listener essays from listeners Jeff, Sara, and Chris. Cuz we have a bunch of these collecting cyber dust, and they have been sitting for a long time. So it’s time for the Infants to step aside, and let the listeners say what they gotta say.

Do Mormons really believe that the Lord God created the universe? Or that God lives on a planet called Kolob? Or that in 1978 God changed his mind about black people?

Get ready for the most hard-hitting, deep-penetrating, truth-cutting-to-the-chase-of Investigative Reporting you have ever ever ever heard! Cuz the Infants are going to satirically take you through the many erroneous Truth Claims of The Book of Mormon Musical’s “I Believe.”

It’s not exactly Casey Kasem calling a Monster Truck rally. But it is almost just that cool.

Tom, Jake and Matt discuss the aging church leadership.

Randy leads a panel discussion about Mormon Funerals with Alison, Melissa, Glenn, and Craig.

Remember the blind kid with the dead parrot from Dumb & Dumber? He’s a Mormon. And he talks with Randy and Glenn about his experience as a child actor and his journey through faith transition. I just thought he was real quiet. Turns out, he’s not.

Randy, Matt, John and Glenn review Avi Steinberg’s “The Lost Book of Mormon: A Journey Through the Mythic Lands of Nephi, Zarahemla, and Kansas City, Missouri” – a playful look at Joseph Smith as a prolific American author. Sorry, no singing this time.

Join us for a special edition of the April 2015 General Conference. Because one weekend of General Conference just isn’t enough… without this.

Special thanks to Jake, Glenn, Randy, and Bob for “assisting” the Brethren.
