  • 74: In Plain Sight [WARNING: Intense Themes]
    This week's episode features our interview with multiple kidnapping and abuse survivor, Jan Broberg. Jan speaks candidly about her family's relationship with Robert "B" Berchtold, and the often negative reactions her parents had to endure (including hate mail) in order to let the truth come out. Her story is complicated, heartbreaking and intense, so please be advised.

  • 73: Shelly's Journal Journey
    In this episode we dust off the LDL singers to introduce a brand-new segment entitled (cue music): "Shelly's Journal Journey" (yeehaw)! Hopefully, you won't curse us for getting yet another musical stinger stuck in your head. Also, Sister Fanny Fact Check stops by for a visit, and we begin part 1 of a letter from a listener named Jenna. Grab a cup of devil's brew and enjoy!

  • 72: Mother's Day Mad Libs
    Yes, you read correctly - this week we play a fun Mad Libs game from a ridiculous brain washy LDS child's song that's somehow supposed to celebrate motherhood. We also read a letter from one kick-ass grandma (you have to be a mother to later be a grandmother, so it counts). So moms (and non moms), grab a generous pour of Apostate Coffee and join us!

  • 71: Girding Up Our Loins For Mother's Day
    Happy early Mother's Day everybody! Once again we read from the book "Woman" (written by 15 men) to learn all about how to be a good mother, and Shelly relates it to her own experience. Should be a good time. Also, we read a letter from a listener who's related by marriage to one of the aforementioned authors/experts on how to be female: Boyd K. Packer. Somebody's gotta be I guess. Nutty.

  • 70: Kimberly's Coping Tips
    Once again we are thrilled to welcome our good friend and therapist (not that she's our therapist or anything), the lovely, kind and compassionate, Kimberly Anderson. This time Kimberly offers some really good advice for thriving during the pandemic, and she also fills us in on what she's been up to.

    To find Kimberly's CTR group, just head to Facebook and search for Conversion Therapy Recovery.

    For self care, Kimberly recommends everyone Google Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).

    In this episode we learn how to be a WOMAN with the help of some old Mormon dudes who evidently wrote the book on the subject. Also Sister Fanny Fact Check enlightens us during this week's FUMPOTD. And we read a letter from a listener named Taylor who might live in a magical place known as Gay Town (she's at least stopped by a time or two).

  • LDL Letters 35: Someone's in the Kitchen With Dinah
    Today we read a letter from Dinah who's led quite the life! After battling an attraction for women and serving a mission, she finally gave a big middle finger to the church and started her life back over in San Francisco during the 1960s, eventually becoming an activist. It's a good one, so we hope you join us.

    Each week we read and discuss 1-2 letters (depending on length) from listeners just like you! So please get in touch with us through our website at http://latterdaylesbian.org/contact. We'd love to hear from you. Thanks!
