The Year of Polygamy Podcast is a truly incredible and eye-opening show that delves into the history and impact of polygamy within the Mormon/LDS Church. Hosted by Lindsay, a knowledgeable and thoughtful individual, this podcast has been an invaluable resource for individuals questioning their faith or seeking to further understand the complexities of Mormonism.

Each episode is well-prepared and well-researched, providing listeners with a comprehensive understanding of the topics discussed.
