0:00.0	Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Mormon Stories podcast LDS discussions edition.
0:05.2	It is January 12th, 2023 and I'm super excited to have you all join us today for another episode.
0:12.9	Today's episode is an overview of Joseph Smith's translations and just very, very quickly we are
0:21.6	about 34 episodes into our LDS discussion series, which is a series on Mormon Stories where we do a
0:28.2	deep dive into LDS or Mormon Church truth claims, trying to base all of our discussion on facts and
0:36.1	evidence. We try to be as dispassionate as possible. We try to be neutral and objective and we just
0:43.2	try and look at the claims that the church makes and then look at the evidence and science where we
0:49.6	can and then allow you our viewers and listeners to make your own informed choice. We try and not do
0:56.0	ad hominem, not do snark, not do negativity, but just help you get the information you need to make
1:03.7	informed decisions about your life as it relates to Mormon Church truth claims. And of course this
1:09.6	is based on the work of Mike from LDS Discussions.com. Hey Mike, thanks for joining us.
1:16.6	Hey everybody, how's it going? Good. If you go to LDS Discussions.com you'll see essays on all of
1:23.6	these topics that we have. Again, we've done 33 episodes prior to this. I strongly recommend that
1:30.8	you start from the beginning because they're literally made to build on each other every time we
1:36.7	reference previous episodes after the first episode. So you'll do better to start from the beginning
1:42.6	and I'll just end by saying you can watch this integrated into the Mormon Stories podcast or YouTube
1:50.7	feed, but also you can binge watch these episodes either on Spotify under the LDS Discussions brand
1:58.0	or on Apple podcasts under the LDS Discussions brand or you can go to the Mormon Stories podcast
2:04.0	YouTube channel and there's a playlist for all the LDS Discussions videos in a row. And of course
2:11.5	all the essays for these episodes can be found at LDS Discussions.com. If you don't want to hear
2:17.7	you know Mike and me and Nemo Yapon, you can just go read the text and find the source material
2:26.0	that Mike uses for these very important episodes. So Mike, anything you want to add?
