Peculiar People: An Ex-Mormon Podcast

We were so excited to record with Karina's friend Riggs! We hope you enjoy listening to their story! What a true relief it is to no longer have so much pressure to always be MORE when you're already doing everything you possibly can to be the perfect little Mormon. 

TW: Mentions of abortion

We just wanna say thank you SO much to our listeners for your patience! It's been a hot minute since we've put out a new episode--we actually recorded this one WEEKS ago and then life threw a bunch of curveballs, so we're just finally getting it out. Enjoy this super cringey recap of the church's April 2025 General Conference. 

Join us as our new friend Chris details his introduction & exit from the church along with all the perks that come with being a man in the church. 

Join us as we continue to tell the tale of the restoration as told by J$ (Joseph Smith) himself.
