Summary

Historian Shantel Gardner joins us for a conversation about the legendary Emma Smith. When Moroni prophesied that Joseph's name "should be both good and evil spoken of among all people," the angel may as well have been talking about Joseph's wife. Why have Latter-day Saints had a conflicted relationship with Emma through the years? Is that changing? In this episode, we dig a little deeper into the real and complex woman whose life continues to inspire a diversity of opinions in members of the church she helped create.

1:06.7	mother making bread and it was not my thing. It was not something I did. It was not a skill I thought I had.
1:21.5	And I do I have learned how to do it and it's really made me think you know I could probably learn to do other things
