Hey there to all our saucy pert and greasy consorts. We had a great time talking with this week's

interviewee, Beth Magnetic, who is an ex-Morman with a very unique story to tell. Her own

experiences while growing up in the church led her on her own personal path, trying to understand

the potential correlations between religiosity

and criminal violence. You can find many more of her insights at It's Beth Magnetic on all the

apps. And if you're listening and you want to watch along, go over to our new YouTube channel

at someplace underneath for this interview.

Someplace underneath.

Some place underneath. I'm I'm so much

I'm so light Do you just want to start off by telling us a little bit about your background?

Yeah.

So I go by Beth Magnetic and I grew up very, very Mormon. So I was born in East Utah. And my parents

got divorced when I was quite young. And I ended up moving to Maine. So I lived most of my life

in Maine. But I grew up in a very, very Mormon LDS family, but we were

the kinds of Mormons that it, we felt like all of the other Mormons around us just were not

Mormoning hard enough.

So my parents, I wouldn't say they're like full blown preppers, but they are prepper

adjacent. Underneath our beds, we didn't have bed frames. We had boxes of cans of food

that we had for making sure that we had our year supply for when the whole world, you know, the apocalyptic times come.

And we need to make sure that we have food to make sure that we would survive that.

And we definitely, we went real hard on our religion for sure.

Did you ever sneak into some of the supplies and just like try it? Just like, ooh, I'm a little cracker.
