Episode 01: The Smith Family Part 1: Lucy Mack & Joseph Smith Senior

Proof of Divine intervention in a pillowcase? Yep. Listen back. Listen on. 

Cody is pretty straightforward when apparently reading from his notes--more personable when conversational with Moth. 

Moth lends a nice balance to keep the podcast from just being a lecture. But I kinda like lectures. Like audio books, ya know?

Btw...Christian Witches and Holy Drug Users--still a thing, so if that intrigues you or you wanna know more about Mormons specifically, keep listening. I will.
