| 0:04.0 | You know. Oh, Testing one two three testing one two three. This is radio free Mormon on the air |
| 0:31.2 | broadcasting behind enemy lines. |
| 0:33.7 | Tonight's episode, a thorny problem |
| 0:36.7 | for the book of Mormon and missing generations |
| 0:41.0 | on the small plates of Nephi. Now if that doesn't want your appetite for a great show I don't know what will but I promise you this is going to be exciting stuff that we're talking about tonight. |
| 0:51.6 | It once again has to do with that area in the book of the that |
| 0:55.0 | we're talking about tonight. It once again has to do with that area in the Book of Mormon, that connective tissue between Jacob, the Book of Jacob, and the Book of Mosiah. |
