David Archuleta joins the pod to tell and expose all! We celebrate the release of his New York Times Best-Selling memoir, Devout.

We explore his time on American Idol, leaving the music industry to go on a Mormon mission, and coming out as gay. Sometimes, you have to lose your faith in order to find yourself.
