Ep 43: The implosion of Taylor Frankie Paul (Hive Mind crossover)

Ep 46: Does Caro Claire Burke think Yesteryear is about Mormonism?

That isn't snark -- we genuinely want to know. It's a MIM BOOK CLUB where we talk two tradwife novels: Everyone's Lying to You by Jo Piazza and Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke. Both give big time Ballerina Farm vibes and are vaguely tied to Mormonism, and we have Thoughts about all the above.

Ep 45: Processing "Trust Me: The False Prophet" with Mormon Fundamentalism Expert Cristina Rosetti

Netflix's harrowing 4-part docuseries focuses on the crimes of Sam Batemen, but before Sam Bateman there was Warren Jeffs. As outsiders, Nicole and Rebbie can't begin to understand how either of these men were able to do what they did. Cristina helps contextualize what these religious doctrines and communities are like, how they differ from each other, where they can be mischaracterized, and what kinds of media can help vs. hurt.

Ep 44: Which 'Secret Lives' messes actually tie back to the church? (Mormonland crossover)

Rebbie and Nicole attempt to keep up with the latest SLMW drama (looking at you Jessi and Chase). We talk young marriage, black and white thinking within religion, and explore the connection between Utah's beauty standards and the church.

Ep 43: The implosion of Taylor Frankie Paul (Hive Mind crossover)

Meg, Rebbie, and Lindsey try to process the most disturbing week in the Mormon Multiverse to date. Is Taylor okay? (no) Are we complicit in her issues? (probably) And how much do we dislike Jessi's husband whats-his-face? (SO MUCH).

Ep 42: Mormonism's relationship with media since day one (With historian Benjamin Park)

Since its inception, the Church has used media to attempt to relate to the wider world. We talk about church messaging in the early days, how it shifted to assimilate after polygamy, the golden age of Gordon B. Hinckley, and how it paved the way for the Mormon Moments 1 and 2.0.
