[Grunt]

Anyone listen to podcasts?   I would love to find a real podcast that is entertaining but reflective of Mormon values.  Every  time I think I find one I hear an episode that makes me raise an eyebrow.   I’d prefer it to be about Mormon doctrine and/or culture.  

If not, let’s start one.

Are you looking for religious podcasts only?

Right, @pam can convince the MGF folk to have a MormonHub podcast.  Different forum members can guest star each week.  We can talk about the ink, er scripture, of the week; our favorite paper, er post; why people post things out of left field...   Why the Mormon version of left field is so tame...   Oh, which flavor of Jell-o is best.

You could give Mormon Matters a try.

See there, a whole episode about Mormons and ink - pen ink, tattoo ink, printer ink, children covered in ink...

[SilentOne]

So, @zil can do the tattoo episode.  @MormonGator can tell about compound living. @mirkwood takes the Halloween special. What other topics should we cover?

Maybe a little of the doctrine or culture I asked for in the original post?

Have you checked out the Mormon Channel podcasts? https://www.mormonchannel.org/listen/series

She's just angry because her application to join has been denied. Sorry @SilentOne. Due to heavy interest all applications were due by May 1st. You missed the deadline yet again.

Yes.  I listen to those.  I'm looking for something that is more modern and open dialog.  I like "The Cultural Hall", but every once in awhile they go off on a tangent about what the church should be doing.  I'll likely find that everywhere, I suppose.

LDS Perspectives, Leading LDS, and Maxwell Institute are all usually pretty solid.  (MI often brings in non-LDS commentators, but it’s interesting to see how our own perspectives blend in with—or stand out from—other approaches).  My memory could be off, but I think our own @pam was a guest on Leading LDS sometime in the last year or two?

I met with the founder of it and we were going to set a date but so far it hasn't happened.  I think he has been pretty busy with other podcasts that he's been doing.

[SilentOne]

And I guess on the lifestyle front, @anatess2 can talk about love and  @Carborendum and @Vort can discuss homeschooling?

I haven't listened to many podcasts in the past, but I have been thinking of starting to listen to gospel-related stuff while exercising, and this thread may prove helpful for that.

@zil and I have been fielding the applications. Interest isn’t as heavy as you think it is...

Some of this can be a little "heavy" doctrinally, so l recommend listening with care. 

[askandanswer]

I also recommend speeches.byu.edu. I often find them to be uplifting and interesting.

Oh... I can talk all day every day about love and marriage and horse's carriage.

Rare Possessions Podcast

I'm not sure how well this fits into what you're looking for, but one of my facebook friends posted it and I figure at least somebody here might appreciate it. And if I post here I'll probably be able to find the link again more quickly than if I have to hunt it down again on facebook a month from now.

"The Rare Possessions Podcast will dig into the archives at Book of Mormon Central to find rare, and valuable works that focus on the Book of Mormon. Each each a new episode will feature a brief interview with archivist, Jared Riddick, about the next chapter of the book being presented, followed by host and narrator, Nick Galieti, reading a chapter of the book in audio book format. Stay tuned each week for the next chapter, and to learn more about these lesser-well known books that teach about the Book of Mormon."

[Just_A_Guy]

So, there’s a brand-spanking-new podcast called “True Blue Mormon”, available via YouTube, whose raison d’etre seems to be as a counterpunch to the leftist Mormon blogosphere.  Only two episodes out so far, but they sound promising.

I listen to these when I work out. They have been pretty interesting to me and are church friendly. I also really have enjoyed listening to articles from mormon interpreter. Pretty well all of their articles can be downloaded as mp3's for ease of listening. This makes them great for me to listen to while cleaning the house.

You can try leadinglds.org

Not sure if it's what you're looking for though.
