Today on the show, Brandt and Jenny look at the Church's involvement in Utah Politics (is that a good thing? is that a bad thing?), some Pot Talk Radio, a DETROIT->FOOTBALL->MORMON connection, and are GenX Mormons the "forgotten Generation"? And let's not forget the wonderful tweets of #HeardAtBYU. All that plus more on the Report!
