Hi, just a little bit of a disclaimer on this episode and the next episode.

We were traveling at the time that we recorded these, so we didn't have our high-tech studio

with all of the very expensive equipment and sound-deadening devices that can help make us sound

better than we are. So if you will just please excuse these next two podcasts,

this one and the next one,

they're going to have not the best audio quality.

I'm pretty sure, though, that the content's still going to be just as bad.

Actually, the content is pretty good.

I think you'll especially like, well, you'll like this part two as well as part three of the,

I don't know what we've decided to name these, Constantine something.

I don't know why Mormons aren't Christians.

Anyway, it sounds like we recorded it in a subway tunnel, which is very similar to where we were.

It was either not record them or, you know, you would miss a couple of episodes because we were traveling.

So we do apologize, but hope you have a happy holidays and look forward to season three beginning in January.

Yes. Welcome to the three beginning in January. Yes.

Welcome to the Standard of Truth podcast, hosted by historian Dr. Garrett Dirkmod,

where we explore the early days of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

and gain rare historical insights into how a young farm boy was able to

establish a new church and grow it by way of visions, manifestations, and miracles.

Hi, welcome to the Standard of Truth podcast.

I'm your host, Dr. Garrett-Dirkmont, and I'm joined by my friend Professor Richard Leduke.

Merry Christmas, Garrett.
