| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome to the inaugural episode of Mormon News Podcast sponsored by |
| 0:08.5 | Mormon Stories Podcast and the Open Stories Foundation. |
| 0:13.7 | This is a new thing that we're experimenting. |
| 0:16.3 | It's not even in beta formula, it's an alpha form. |
| 0:19.7 | But basically what I think Mormonism has been needing for quite some time is a weekly |
| 0:28.6 | podcast that brings in a panel, hopefully a diverse panel to discuss the week's Mormon news. |
| 0:38.2 | And so we happen to own the domainmormonnews.com. |
| 0:42.3 | We're not really launching the website yet because it's not ready. |
| 0:45.5 | But we just wanted to start doing a weekly one hour long episode on Mormon Stories |
| 0:53.2 | to discuss the week's news. So that's what this is. |

| 1:26.4 | so we're not going to always have the same hosts every week, but we hope to have familiar faces |
| 1:33.6 | that rotate in. Occasionally we'll want to bring on an expert to discuss an issue in depth. |
| 1:40.6 | And we always want live listeners to get your feedback and questions and participation. |
| 1:46.4 | So that's kind of the model. And again, we want to have a diverse point of view, |
| 1:52.8 | so we're going to always try and get a good mix of people to be a part of discussion. |
| 1:56.8 | And with that, today I'm going to be introducing our panelists for today. |
| 2:01.6 | Our panelists today are John Hamer. Many of you in Mormon Stories will know him, |
