Good choice. Wilcox would probably be more helpful to you.

Looks like John found a money maker...Originally posted by Rosebud View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

My wife goes to the "Time Out For Women" here in Seattle every year. It sells out Benaroya Hall every year (about 2500), and they have an impressive lineup of guest speakers every year. It is sponsored by Deseret Book, but my guess is the cost of the tickets covers expenses, as RF suggests.
However every author has books to sell, every musician is selling CDs, and others are selling trinkets of all types. If it is mentioned in the conference hall, it is available for purchase on tables outside the door. My wife, mother sister, and sisters-in-law each walked out with >$100 worth of goodies purchased in the midst of their spiritual highs.
It is a wonderful experience for her every year and I am glad she gets so much out of it, but I can't help but poke a little bit of fun...Comment

For anyone in Utah who is interested, the reclusive Michael Quinn is going to be giving a very rare interview to John Dehlin (who has apparently been getting turned down for this interview for years). Whatever you think of him, he is one of the most important figures in Mormonism over the last 30 years. It ought to be fascinating.

I've been listening to some of these in the background while I work last couple weeks. Also some of the Mormon expressions podcasts.
The Daymon Smith podcast was fantastic. Highly recommend it. I've heard many of you mention it before. I loved his testimony at the end. Very cool that he put himself out there like that. I was actually surprised he is such a literal believer in Joseph Smith. But he appears to have a strong testimony of the church.
The George Miller Masonry podcasts at Mormon expression. Not sure I buy all his connections, but very informative.
What I'm very interested in:
research, historical analysis, textual analysis of scripture, detective work possibly explaining the foundations of some aspects of Mormonism
What I'm not interested in:
people whining about how hard it is to be an intellectual Mormon, or how the church oppresses people, or complaining about what the church is doing they don't agree with...WHA WHA WHA call the WHAMBULANCE! This describes most of the podcasts on both sites. I skip through those.
Any suggestions on what to check out?Comment

Listen to this one Jay. The apologists are pretty stirred up about it.

Thanks Rosebud. These have been interesting so far. But OMG the lead in and out music on these things. Horrible, "edgy", church music.Originally posted by Rosebud View PostComment

Yes! He's been doing those since that interview with the couple who left the church and joined some protestant church. They played a few pieces on the podcast and now he's incorporated them into the intros. So bad.Originally posted by jay santos View PostAt least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah
