My mind was seriously blown by this episode. Thank you.
I have been listening to this with my daughters. We really appreciate your work.
This was super fascinating – I especially loved the oral history part. I actually run a Mormon Women’s Oral History Project, so it was nice and validating to remember how crucial oral history is to the cultural and historical narrative!
