## Resource

For this Throwback Thursday, I’m revisiting my appearance on Episode 111 of the Glass Box Podcast with Bryce Blankenagel and Shannon Grover. In this highlight reel, we dive into Mormon history, doctrine, culture, and some of the bigger questions surrounding the Church in a conversation that was equal parts thoughtful, funny, and brutally honest.The Glass Box Podcast is known for its deep-dive format—examining Mormon history and current events while asking what details may have “slipped through the cracks.” Hosted by Bryce Blankenagel (of the Naked Mormonism podcast) and Shannon Grover, the show blends historical analysis, commentary, and media discussion in a long-form format that gives complicated topics the time they deserve.Our full conversation ran about an hour and a half, but for this Throwback Thursday episode I’ve trimmed it down into a highlight reel featuring some of the most interesting moments from the discussion. If you enjoy sharp insight, candid commentary, and deep dives into Mormon history and culture, you’ll probably enjoy this one.Sit back, grab a snack, and enjoy the highlights.And as always: No unhallowed hand can stop the Mormon News Roundup from progressing.#MormonNewsRoundup #GlassBoxPodcast #ExMormon #MormonHistoryPlease consider making a donation by joining our Patreon https://www.patreon.com/MormonNewsRoundup Email: kolob@mormonnewsroundup.org Website: https://mormonnewsroundup.org/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mormonnewsroundup Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mormon_news_roundup/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093511869924 X: https://twitter.com/NewsMormon New episodes LIVE every Sunday and Monday nights at 9:30PM ESTPlease like and subscribe and hit the notifications bell.
