This episode of Infants on Thrones may very well change the experience of podcasting forever! At least it will for the people who’s podcasting experiences are forever changed by this episode. Will you be one of them? Also… Bob’s Mormon Cred Scale. What an Easter Egg!
Let’s imagine for a moment that we are not in the middle of some major divisive conflicts between people we all appreciate and care about. And instead, let’s ask ourselves the question “what are our shared moral values?” That’s what Glenn does in this minisode. And we desire all to receive it. Also, please take a few moments to fill out our new survey on VALUES. https://proprofs.com/survey/t/?title=bvl8w We really want to hear what principles are most important to you. Thanks!...
Randy and Glenn talk about apologetics, planting seeds, and our new best friend from down under and off to the right, Kiwi57.
Are Mormon Priesthood holders really more powerful than Jesus? Are Mormons really even Christians? Listen in as Glenn responds to some very intelligent, articulate, critical comments recently made on the IOT website by faithful believing Mormon listener Kiwi57.
Come back with us to October 2013 for our 3-part series “Who Wrote the Book of Mormon.” John Hamer, Craig Criddle, and so much more.
Glenn provides a brief update on the listener responses that have come in from yesterday’s episode (TLDL: no, we are not shutting down Infants on Thrones) and shares a particularly awesome mission story, if he does say so himself (And he does. Trust me. I know. Cuz he is me, referring to himself in the third person. Like a weirdo. Trust me on that one, too).
This one’s a two-fer. Two episodes in one. First, Glenn, Matt, and Scott talk about stuff. Then, Randy, Glenn, Tom, Matt and Bob talk about more stuff. Then there’s a pretty long easter egg at the end with even more talking about even more stuff. And there’s that whole thing about three patterns. Plus, you will never guess who is quitting Infants on Thrones!
In the season 1 finale of the NAG, Sage explores the concept of the ‘Angry Atheist’ – and who better to guide him than Randy? So take a drink, get riled up and come get angry with us one last time. Featured Track: “God is an Indian” by Modest Mouse
One of our best episodes ever. First published in July 2014, this may be the very first word-for-word, pick-it-apart Infant Smackdown. In 1976, our favorite LDS Apostle, Boyd K. Packer gave a talk in priesthood session “To Young Men Only” that was not subsequently published in the Ensign the following month, nor can it be found as a conference talk on LDS.org today. It was turned into a pamphlet in 1981 “To Young Men Only” and that text is available on LDS.org but the audio and video are not on ...
Historian extraordinaire John Hamer rains credibility all over the Infants by Hamsplaining the origin of Good Friday. With tongue firmly in cheek, of course (aka “Infant Style”)
Once again, Infant General Conference is here for your edification and stuff. This time with a very special mystery guest.
Is this episode filled with new material or recycled Fro-back Friday material? With General Conference, it’s nearly impossible to tell. Regardless, this is chalk full of some of the best stuff we have ever done. Love it as we do. Amen.
Does shared morality bind and blind? If so, what does it blind us to? Glenn revisits a 7-year-old Mormon Stories episode he recorded in April 2010 with his divorced parents, his two siblings, and the ever-inquisitive John Dehlin. But this time, Glenn looks at it through the eyes of Jonathan Haidt’s Moral Foundations Theory because the Moral Foundations Theory has been totally rocking Glenn’s world lately. Maybe it will rock yours, too.

Are Mormons Christians? What is the official Mormon response to Abuse? Affinity Fraud? Church Finances? The Clannish nature of Church Members? Dissent? Hard-to-believe Events in Church History? And a dozen other topics? Mormon Leaks’ founder Ryan McKnight joins Glenn, Randy, John, and Matt to smack down the latest leaked document: Guideline Responses to Common Questions. Oh yeah…. And John’s Ambassador is plenipotent. #Duh! https://mormonleaks.io/wiki/documents/5/55/Guideline_Responses_to_Common...
Bob is joined by special guest Kat, his sister, who recently resigned from Mormonism after attending their grandmother’s Mormon funeral. Something happened at the funeral, something both shocking and routine: a bishop’s talk. Bob recreates the talk word for word, and the two of them discuss what happened after reminiscing about growing up Mormon.
It’s the second to last episode of season 1 of the NAG and love is in the air… which is pretty convenient ‘cause that’s what this episode is all about! Join Sage and his lovely wife Rachel (on her infants debut) as they talk about how their love has changed over 14 years of marriage, 2 kids, and one whopper of a faith transition.
Is there an echo in here? Facebook posts. Podcast listeners. Church groups. Political affiliation. Echo chambers are definitely all around us. Glenn, Scott, and Matt each discuss their own thoughts on these Echo Chambers at the Phoenix Sunstone conference. Recorded on Saturday March 11, 2017.
Last weekend, the Church released a new and improved video depiction of the First Vision that claimed to incorporate the various accounts Joseph Smith gave to “provide additional perspectives and insights into this remarkable event.” Glenn, Matt, Randy, Bob, and Jake decide to do a bit of remarking themselves.
Travel back in time to August 2014 for one of our first smackdown episodes as Jake, Bob, Randy, Scott, and Glenn discuss the then-recent essay on The Book of Abraham from LDS.org.
Matt, Jake, and Scott talk to Dr. Josh Britt about the pros and cons of medical marijuana and the practice of doing “whip its.”
Are you planning the perfect date this V-Day? You know, a date that’s the perfect combination of thoughtful, playful, cute, and sexy? Kristin and Matt (but mostly Kristin) suggest one way to turn a lame holiday into a day you and your partner (or partners) will remember for years to come.
Who says you should avoid talking about politics and religion? Matt and Glenn interview Melinda “Mindy” Butler, an immigration attorney for The Florence Project in Arizona, to learn more about the three recent Executive Orders on immigration.
Glenn, Matt, and Scott smack down a blog post because many of you asked us to. So we did. In front of about 50 lovely listeners. And now the rest of you can hear it. This episode was recorded January 8, 2017. http://happiness-seekers.com/2017/01/02/the-alarming-truth-behind-anti-mormonism/
Bob is joined by himself to discuss the latest attack on John Dehlin’s research aka “John Dehlin and the Weaponization of Scientific Research” aka some Mormon blogger really wanting to be taken seriously.
It’s hard enough parenting kids when Jesus is your co-pilot. What do you do when he jumps ship? (or after you mutiny and throw him to the crocodiles — maybe that’s a better metaphor). Sage is back to interview APEs Matt and Kristin (Atheist Parents Extraordinaire) — with a few comments from third-wheel-Glenn — as they discuss raising kids sans-faith-in-God. Stick around to the end for a special announcement!
Matt and Tom sit down with Ryan McKnight and Privacy P Pratt (not his real name) to discuss General Authority pay stubs, the difference between mormon- and wiki- leaking, and leaks and leakers and just a bunch of leaking stuff in general. You’re in for a real treat (as opposed to urine for a real treat). Cuz details matter.
