0:00.0	Radio Free Mormon here.
0:05.8	Broadcasting behind enemy line.
0:09.0	Episode 4, 401, no podcast for news.
0:19.8	Good evening, everybody. There's breaking news coming out of Salt Lake City today. A new apostle has been just chosen to fill the rank left by President Russell and Nelson when he passed away late last year. The new apostle is being announced as, let me see here.
0:38.3	It is Clark.
0:39.3	Yes, it is Clark G. Gilbert.
0:41.3	He's 55 years old.
0:43.3	He is the former Commissioner of Education for the LBS Church,
0:47.3	and he is quite possibly the whitest white man in the history of Western civilization.
0:53.3	Additional news coming in from two days ago, President Dallin H. Oaks gave his first public address as the official president of the LDS Church.
1:04.9	That address was given at BYU Provo. It has raised some concerns and some comments. And he told the audience that God has told
1:16.2	him what it is that he needs to do as the prophet. And apparently part of what he needs to do is
1:21.7	tell you not to listen to podcasts like this. This is very much on the top of God's list.
1:28.7	And since this affects people who podcast in the post-Mormon space, I thought I would
1:33.4	bring along some fellow podcasters and we could look at some clips and discuss them.
1:38.8	First off, we've got, let's see here, excuse me for a second, we've got Randall Bell.
1:44.0	Welcome to the studio. Randall Bell, Dr. Randall Bell. R.F.M. Nice to see you. It's so good. Believe me. Now we've also got coming into the room. Rebecca Biblioteca. Hello. It's the ex-Morman of the year. It is. There's my award right there, right?
2:03.2	Bravo, Bravo. And by the way, you owe me money, Rebecca, because you are foolish enough to bet with me
2:10.1	that the LDS church was going to pick somebody who was not the whitest white man in the history of
2:15.1	Western civilization. Yeah, I was thinking, I hoped, but you're right. They did, and I do owe you and Bill each 50 bucks. I will bring it to thrive. For a minute, I thought you were going to say Clark W. Griswold. Now, that would have been fun. That would have been a great pick. Absolutely. It would have been a great pick. Are you kidding? Also on the panel is
2:34.8	John DeLinn. John DeLinn, how are you doing? I've missed you RFM and Rebecca and Randy. I've
2:41.6	missed you all. John has a little podcast. It's an up-and-comer. It's called Mormon Stories.
