Hey, your polygamy listeners, this is Lindsay Hanson Park. There are three important things that I want you to know.

So listen closely. Number one, I'm really excited to announce that the music contest for our new podcast bumper starts today. Hold your applause, please.

The rules are simple. If you want your music featured as the bumper to this podcast, all you have to do is email me the MP3 to Year of Polygamy at gmail.com. This is your first test to see if you can spell polygamy correctly. You can. Then you can go to the next step, which is put music contest in the subject line, and all of your music must be an original

creation and try to capture the overall feel of the podcast. So keep in mind we have a wide variety

of listeners from faithful fundamentalists to never Mormons. Also include a short bio and the title

of the song in the email. Any submission that doesn't follow these instructions will be subject to blood oath and

immediately disqualified.

I'm mostly kidding about the blood oath.

On March 1st, we will post an episode featuring clips of the submissions and let the listeners

vote on their favorite.

So if you aren't an artist submitting music,

we're going to need your help. So you're not off the hook. We need you to please stand by and

vote on March 1st. I know that you can't wait. I can't either. Second thing, if you're not

a supporter of this podcast, please become one. We are going to try to move our site to a bigger host soon, and that's going to cost some money. So I'd really appreciate your help with that. And the third thing is, if you're in Utah, don't forget to hire Cleaning by Design, Utah. Give Laura Lopez a call at 801-477-4197, and let her and her staff clean your home or office.

And when you do this, you're supporting Mormon women and their small businesses,

which is really important to me.

Phew.

Okay.

Got all those announcements out of the way.

And now it's time for the podcast.

Okay. Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Year Polygamy podcast.

I'm your host, Lindsay, and today I'm talking to one of my most favorite scholars, probably someone who's been really influential on this podcast
