Feminism and Funeral Potatoes

And that's a wrap. After nearly a year producing this podcast together, Kate & I say our final goodbyes. We talk about how our views on feminism and women in Mormonism have changed since we started, and where we stand in our thoughts on the Gospel and on God. (Spoiler alert: we like them both very much.) To all of our listeners, however few of you there might be, thank you for tuning in. It means the world to us that we have had supporters of this project since the very beginning. You're the reason we do this, and it makes us really happy to know that what we've said has resonated with those of you who listen. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And before we go, we do have an announcement to make. "Feminism and Funeral Potatoes" is not, in fact, ending. Brooke, Kate's younger sister, will be joining me in the studio starting in January as we finish The Bishop's Wife and continue to chat all things lady-related. So come back after Christmas; we're excited to see you all! - m

If you want to know what the hell we're talking about, you should press that little "play" button. Near death experiences, making bread, and bodies in the garden are all featured on this episode! (Plus the whores of Babylon, brought to you by yours truly.)

Late update, but we've finally arrived.

This week we review the first chapter of The Bishop's Wife. We've got discussion about callings, the priesthood, and the changing role of women in the church. And we're pretty excited--this book looks a whole lot better than the last!

AND WE'RE BACK. After a hiatus much longer than we anticipated, we've brought back Feminism and Funeral Potatoes. We introduce our new book, The Bishop's Wife, and recap General Conference. Put those headphones in and take a listen--we've returned in all our glory and are excited to have our listeners chillin' with us once again.

Listeners get a special insight into why we became feminists. Also, in-depth discussions about chastity, missions, and marriage--and why all are being taught in ways that make us sad.

Episode Eleven is filled with lots of tangents and a lively discussion about feminism in the Mormon community. A few tears may have been shed. Maybe. (Also chapters 15 & 16 of "The Skeleton in My Closet Wears a Wedding Dress")

Episode Ten is probably our best yet! (At least according to Madie.) We talk about our first hate comment, another great comment we got, and our purpose for the show. We also dive into Chapter 15, which we have lots to say about. Stay tuned for the next episode, when we find out how Sophia's plans to change actually crash and burn.

We're back! After an extended hiatus, we've returned to the podcast world. Here's Episode Nine for you kids. A little lengthy, but lots to talk about!

In an effort to be unbiased, or at least present such an option to our listeners, we've decided to give you guys the option to buy Sally Johnson's book, The Skeleton in My Closet Wears a Wedding Dress, which you can buy from Amazon here. You should know we're not making any money off of this, nor is Sally aware of what we're doing (whether that's a good or bad thing we've yet to determine). We recently remembered we had a Twitter, which you can follow here. Live tweet an episode with the hashtag #ffppodcast and we'll give you a shout out (like, if you want that sort of thing).

Episode Seven brings you lots of tales and tangents, as well as some golden nuggets of wisdom. Lots of Harry Potter in this episode too, so you're in for a treat.
