Podcast episode recommendations

[Anonymous]

I am in need of some recommendations for some episodes of any good podcast to listen to this weekend.

If you know of some new and relevant ones, please recommend for me…of course if you have an all times greatest hits I can check those to see if I have listened to them already.

Any good ones for me to check out?

Are you looking for any good podcast or are you more interested in Mormon specific topics?

What are you looking for?

Here are just a few to look at.

Mormon Matters

A Thoughtful Faith

Faith Transitions

Gospel Tangents (really short podcasts)

Healthy Mormon Journeys

Mormon Discussion Podcast

Mormon Mental Health

Rational faiths has a few (review of CES seminary, mormon sex podcast, racisim 101)

And there is the popular “Year of polygamy” podcast – which has over 100 episodes.

And if you are looking for some that are a bit more critical, PM me and I will reply with those if you wish.

Good question…I was thinking mormon related, but actually anything along the lines of spirituality.

Thanks…any particular episodes that have struck you lately you recommend?

I like deep thinking ones, moreseo than just ranting stories.

The one from Mormon Matters episodes 388-9 about “Our Brains and Faith” was pretty interesting, I actually like the models presented.

Anything interesting you’d recommend that you liked?

For something non-mormon related, but really interesting, try “Invisibilia.” There’s some recent episodes about finding your true self, emotions, and some other related stuff that will really make you think and introspect. Fascinating stuff.

As far as mormon topics, I’ll defer to others. I’m still new to my transition and enjoying getting caught up on some of those podcasts. I enjoy interviews with thinkers and scholars to hear their perspectives (Terryl Givens, Richard Bushman, Brent Metcalfe, etc). You can find some really interesting interviews on mormon stories and mormon discussions.

It’s hard to recommend specific episodes, because there are so many. They all blend together after a while. Plus I haven’t been able to listen to podcasts much for about a year now, because my commute is so short these days.

In my heyday of listening to podcasts, I really enjoyed Mormon Matters the most. Because my faith crisis centered around ideas of faith, knowledge, uncertainty, and the existence of God, I tended to skip a lot of the episodes that focused on current events or cultural issues. I did listen to quite a few on historical and LGBT issues, because of a general interest and desire to know more. Just so you know what filter these recommendations are coming through.

My favorite guests on Mormon Matters are Patrick Mason, Boyd Peterson, Samuel M. Brown, and Adam Miller. This list reflects that.

227: “Living” Stories <-- possibly one of my favorite podcast episodes ever These episodes were recorded after Patrick Mason’s recent book Planted came out. I found them full of great information: 319: Is There Good News for Faith in Today’s Mormon Crises?—Part 2 317: Is There Good News for Faith in Today’s Mormon Crises?—Part 1 These four episodes each cover a chapter from Samuel M. Brown’s book First Principles and Ordinances. Adam Miller is a guest in each episode. Really amazing stuff here: 289: The Gift of the Holy Ghost 282: Baptism 263–264: Ordinances 261: Faith and Repentance Other great episodes: 277: Does Powerful Faith Require Scriptural Literalism? 274–275: Beyond Belief and Unbelief 257: Negotiating Adult Faith Within a Developing Institution 225: Wrestling with Prophets and Scripture 199: Untangling Faith, Belief, and the Expectation to “Know” 142–143: Process Theology and Mormonism 137–138: Science and Religion 102–103: Pragmatism, William James, and Mormon Sensibilities I would also recommend On Being by Krista Tippett. It’s full of really amazing stuff. Pretty much any episode is going to be great. Browse the list and see what sounds interesting.
