Released is a religion podcast hosted by Talmage Thayne. It has 53 episodes, with the latest published November 2025.

Coming home from a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints can be harder than the mission itself. Each Monday, join Talmage Thayne as he interviews returned missionaries and other guests who share insights and stories of mental health, heartbreak, faith crisis, LGBT issues, loss of purpose, and drastic life changes. Yet, while facing these challenges, our guests have found confidence in God's specific call to adventure for them. So if you're home from a mission or have a friend who has found home life hard, this podcast is for you.
