Book of Boredom
by Book of Boredom
Reading & Roasting the Book of Mormon, cover-to-cover. This podcast was started by two ex-religious friends: Paul (exmormon), and Patience (exvangelical). They met in high school when they were both still religious. Paul left the show after Episode 53, but Patience still wanted to know how the story ends! So, she's currently searching for a new co-host, and continues to ridicule this thing, with the help of exmormon randos from the internet. We read it, so you don't have to!
