Michael Birkeland is a comedy actor known globally by Latter-day Saints for his roles in The Singles Ward, The RM, Church Ball, The Home Teachers, and more.

A disclaimer - we did have some technical difficulties recording this episode, and our editor Sean has worked hard to iron them out in post-production, but we apologise if there are slight glitches in the audio here and there and hope you can still enjoy it!

I'm a huge fan of Michael's, and also a huge fan of comedy. We've learnt before that comedians have a unique role in society and a unique perspective, so I wanted to chat with Michael and see how his career has shaped his views on faith.

Some highlights include Michael's upcoming projects, his reflection on the success of The Singles Ward, and how the ability to poke fun at your own culture is healthy.
