We watched General Conference so you don’t have to. We cover a number of talks that slipped past the media but it ran a little longer than expected. Y’all get 2 parts for this one. Enjoy!

It’s long overdue that we make a foray into politics. We examine the life and times of 7-time Utah Senator, Orrin Hatch. After that Braden tells us about Jesse Pinkman leaving a cult, Ryan McKnight joins us for a Mormon Leaks Minute, and there are more tigers in the world than there used to be! A YUGE thanks to our new patron, Joel, and a shoutout to Rhiannon for the 5-star iTunes review!

Prop 2 is set to make Utah a medical cannabis state. The Mormon Church released a statement and sent out emails to every member they have on record to vote opposed. The segment went longer than thought so we’re breaking it into 2 parts, this episode has part 1. After that Braden talks about an uplifting movie that’s even family friendly. Then we have on Heretic Woman to tell us about herself and what she’s learned in studying Muhammed and the Quran. We wrap up with a good-feeling story about some common-sense regulation to curtail the ocean plastic crisis.
