Podcasts I Recommend

In case you are not aware of them, I want to draw your attention to a few podcasts. If you are unfamiliar with the term "podcast," never fear. As far as I can tell it is just a fancy term for recording someone talking and making an mp3 of it. You don't need special software, other than something to play mp3 files. Just right-click and save the files. (You need to follow the links on this page first.)

First up is an interview of Duane Jeffery (BYU Zoologist) at a Sunstone Symposium a few years ago. The interview was also published in Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, Vol. 35 No. 4. However, the Dialogue article is not freely available yet. The two match pretty well, although there are a couple of extra gems in the audio version.

John Dehlin as a few good ones at Mormon Stories. He has interviewed Gregory Prince about his new biography on David O. McKay. Part 1 is more general--and includes a brief discussion of Joseph Fielding Smith and Man, His Origin and Destiny. Part 2 is specifically about Blacks and the Priesthood, and the Civil Rights movement.

John has also interviewed a Mormon Mason.

They are all interesting listening. Here's a tip: do the dishes while you listen and your family will likely leave you alone.
