| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone, and welcome to another edition of Mormon Stories podcast and an exciting new project that we're launching today. |
| 0:08.4 | I'm calling it Joseph Smith, the podcast. |
| 0:12.2 | Today we are going to be launching what I hope to be a new weekly podcast, kind of in the same vein as the LDS discussion series or the series with Dr. |
| 0:24.3 | Matthew Harris on Second Class Saints, where we are going to, you know, it's all being |
| 0:31.6 | released as part of the Mormon Stories podcast, but it will also be released as its own podcast, |
| 0:37.4 | Joseph Smith, the podcast. |
| 0:39.2 | And, you know, for a long, long time, people have been interested in the life of Joseph |
| 0:43.8 | Smith, and we've done infinite episodes on Mormon stories about Joseph Smith and other podcasts |
| 0:49.8 | cover Joseph Smith. But, you know, what the world doesn't have is a dedicated |

| 1:54.7 | Prophet by Dr. John G. Turner, who is also the author of a really well-received and fascinating biography on Brigham Young. |
| 2:08.6 | So in the show notes, there is going to be a link to Yale University Press where you can purchase this book, pre-order this book if it hasn't been a release yet. |
| 2:19.1 | So please take your time right now and purchase this book. I'm already a couple chapters in, |
| 2:24.9 | and I can tell you it's absolutely worth it. Even if you've read, No Man Knows My History, |
