I can't oversell this, it's just superb, great guests every episode, consistently good insights, I've been listening to the whole catalogue and it's a great education so far. this is the first podcast I've ever listened to without driving or being busy with something else. it's a must listen for anyone LDS (or LDS curious)

So great to see something faith promoting

Great Podcast, very very high quality.
