Episode 211: Mormon Expression and Beyond

I also came here to say that I enjoy Mormon Expression just as much as This American life. To be sure, 50% of this is because talking about Mormonism from a liberal/non-believer perspective, is something I and others like me, seem to have an insatiable appetite for. Of course the other 50% is the personalities and insights of John Dehlin (j/k, Larsen) and the other panelists….To be sure, some episodes have a bum panel and even when it is an otherwise interesting topic I turn it off out of frustration with the participants, so the topic clearly doesn’t do all the work. I will also note, that there has never been a panel which included John that I turned off. John always makes it interesting. John,(now imagine me turning and looking into your damn eyes) your presence always makes the panels/episodes interesting.

Mormon Matters has some good moments, but it’s a bit too earnest and collegial for my taste. It reminds me of public affairs panel discussions produced by local PBS stations.

I second everything said here. I didn’t know it was a response, either, and I find it to be relatively unlistenable, which is really too bad, considering how interesting Dan can be.

Todd, Expositor hasn’t started releasing episodes yet. We’re launching on August 1. I also recently noticed that fMh isn’t on itunes. I think it’s something that still needs to be set up for them. So thanks for the heads-up.
