Today on the show, BYU updates their honor code with some curious omissions, polygamy legislation is on the docket in the Utah legislature (WHAT YEAR IS IT??), and a study finds there are benefits to befriending Mormons. But the big story this week - the Church Handbook of Instructions was made publicly available to everyone this week, and we take a deep-dive into some of the content and updates. All that plus more on the show!
