November 06, 2015 Ep 229 – Smackdown: New LDS Policy Punishing Children If Their Parents Are Gay
Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile

What’s worse than murder and rape? The only sin so powerful it punishes innocent children for the “sins” of their parents even if, you know, that doesn’t sound like Mormon Doctrine… In this episode, Bob, Matt, Randy, and Scott discuss the new policy changes from the Mormon Church that set apart homosexuality as a sin unlike any other.
Children of same-sex married people must now be 18 to be baptized and must disavow their parents’ marriage. Follow along as we smackdown the changes to LDS Handbook 1.

November 01, 2015 Ep 227 – Heavenly Mother and the Lady Priesthood
Will lovely LDS ladies ever hold the priesthood? Have they ever held the priesthood? Is Heavenly Mother real, or just something made up by so-called feminists and lesbians? Who is actually earning Kolob Bucks and who needs to disco closer to that bale of hay? Scott leads the panel through a smackdown (and a snub-down) […]

October 30, 2015 Ep 226 – Froback Friday – FEAR
Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile

Three years ago, the still-learning-how-to-walk Infants released an episode called FEAR. In as close to a RadioLab style as we could muster, we explored the world of ouija boards, evil spirits, night terrors, lucid dreaming, and a hodgepodge of other somewhat-fear-related topics. Some of that original episode was even pretty good. Today Matt and Glenn reflect on that experience and present to you a massively edited version.
And don’t miss today’s special easter egg. Because not everyone appreciated Infant Monson’s recent story about Ted, and his unfortunate tarring and re-tarring incident. Or the repeated use of a certain clip from the television show “Freaks and Geeks.” Well, Glenn has something to say about all that, and he did in today’s easter egg, and it will never happen again.
The original FEAR episode still exists here for any gluttons for punishment.

October 25, 2015 Ep 225 – 14 Fundamentals of Smacking Down a Prophet
John, Jake, Randy, and Glenn are joined by new Infant friend Heather for a really quick listener requested quasi-smackdown of the blog post “History vs Heritage: Maybe We Should Stop Saying That We’ve Been Lied to by the Church,” followed by a disproportionately loquatious smack down of Ezra Taft Benson’s classic cluster-talk “Fourteen Fundamentals in […]

October 23, 2015 Ep 224 – Of Temples, Ice Buckets, Coffee, and P-things
Today’s episode re-visits Matt’s comparison of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge to the LDS Temple experience, and Tom’s experience coming to grips with the aromatic evils of Coffee. And we close with a special bonus treat from our new talented friend Heather.

October 18, 2015 Ep 223 – Damn Peterson: The Smackdown
Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile

John, Scott, Randy, Jake, and Matt Smack down Dan Peterson’s recent blog post about the doctrinal “thin gruel” the Community of Christ offers its members, and what it reveals about the myopia of the LDS view.

October 16, 2015 Ep 222 – Infants Sing
We’ve done a bit of musical parody over the past three years. Today’s Froback Friday is all about the music. And this episode is published in a format that will allow you to skip forward or backward from track to track, almost like it was an actual music album of actual music. Almost. Track Listings: […]
