Great episode! I wish you’d spent a bit of time outlining the facts of the most recent purchase, though, because I was only vaguely aware it happened (and don’t especially want to descend into the mess of mormon media coverage), and someone listening a few years from now may also not have the knowledge of what seems like current events right now.
Listen you guys for years , a cultural Mormon since 1980, your narrative reminded me of „nightfall at nauvoo“
Thank you
