Today on the show, Brandt and Jenny do some quick hits on Mormon issues in Utah Politics (no, that's not done yet), some new temple groundbreaking dates, and discuss the impact of a few administrative changes in the church (like such as burial practices for LDS women and planning tools for prospective missionaries). All that, plus a discussion on Grant Hardy's newest edition of the "Book of Mormon Study Maxwell Institute Study Edition" today on the show!
