Testing 1, 2, 3, testing 1, 2, 3, this is Radio Free Mormon, on the air, broadcasting

behind enemy lines. Tonight's episode might ask me anything on Mormon Reddit. But

before we get to the subject of tonight's podcast, I have a special announcement to make.

Bill Real and I have been concerned over the last several months, actually, as to the

of the same hymn, Simpert Paratus, which is obviously not a copyrighted song because
