This week on the Mormon News Report Podcast, Brandt is flying solo. No co-pilot. This should be interesting. Stories this week include a very cool conference on Mormon Millennials, are Republicans missing Mittens?, big news on the horizon for the Church and the BSA, and finally - Mormons and the NFL draft. All that plus more on the Report!
