Hi everyone, thanks for listening.

Before you listen to this episode, I just want to let you know that we will be discussing heavy themes of violence and sexuality.

So if you have little ones in the room, I would suggest that you listen to this privately at a different time because there are some strong themes running through this podcast.

Thanks. And enjoy the episode.

Hello, everyone. Thank you very much, Lindsay. That's very nice of you. Oh, thank you. I just

Well, do you want me to just be more general about Mormon history first and then specifically on this?

Sure. Tell us about just your involvement with Mormon history in general.
