| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Questions from the Closet. |
| 0:05.0 | I'm Ben Shalati. |
| 0:08.0 | And I'm Charlie Bird. |
| 0:10.0 | Today we're just going to do an introduction and talk about what this podcast is going to be about. |
| 0:13.2 | Yeah, so Ben, why don't you start? It's kind of your idea. |
| 0:16.0 | All right. So back in January of 2020, I was part of a panel at BYU called |
| 0:21.5 | Navigating Faith and Sexuality. And students... a panel at BYU called navigating faith and sexuality and students from |
| 0:25.3 | BYU submitted questions they had about how to navigate faith and |
| 0:28.6 | sexuality and there were tons of them and we didn't get to hardly any of them on this panel. And the next day |
| 0:35.0 | one of my friends sent me a message and she said Ben I'm a single mom I would love to |
| 0:39.6 | come and hear you speak sometime but I'll never be able to come. |
| 0:43.0 | Could you just do a podcast and talk about questions that people typically ask you? |
| 0:47.1 | And I thought, no way, I don't want to do a podcast, that's too much work. |
| 0:50.8 | And then I thought, maybe that's a good idea. Maybe I should get one of my good friends and do it with them. |
| 0:55.0 | Yeah, that's where I come in. So when Ben asked me to help him with this podcast, I was really excited because growing up, I'm a gay member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and I think resources were something that were always kind of hard for me to find and whenever I would find one a lot of times I was overwhelmed because it was either a blog that started five to six years before I found it, or podcasts or interviews that just lasted a really long time and it was kind of |
| 1:24.3 | overwhelming for me who was dealing with certain questions at certain times and |
| 1:29.4 | it was just hard to sift through everything so this idea idea of making a podcast that is question-based |
| 1:35.2 | and kind of easy to navigate and go through, I just said that sounds amazing and I'd love to be a part of it. |
| 1:41.7 | So we don't expect listeners to listen to |
| 1:43.7 | every episode but to listen to the episodes that are relevant to them and each |
| 1:48.0 | episode will be based on a question and we'll have a different guess each |
| 1:51.1 | episode to discuss the question with us. |
