Points for the Hamilton reference, if you got it. Kate is back in Provo, and we got the band (or the duo?) back together again to chat about feminism and the LDS culture, as well as what we've been up to over the past two months. We missed you guys!

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

Lots of talk about death. It's not as bad as you think.

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.)

Call us Agatha Christie's, because we're solvin' murders like no one else. (Or at least trying to.) Due to poor technical skills on Madie's part, half of this episode is missing. To get a quick recap about what happened in the later chapters that are missing here, head to the beginning of Episode Twenty Eight. We're sorry. - m & k

Late update, but we've finally arrived.

Episode Twenty Five covers current Mormon standings on sealings and unrighteous  dominion in marriage relationships. Turns out, we're not a huge fan of the latter.

Short episode for a short chapter, but lots of good things to talk to about (including women & the priesthood & birth control). Let us know what you think!

In this episode, we discuss chapter two of The Bishop's Wife. We have lengthy discussions on whether serving a mission is necessary for marriage, the Mormon wedding culture, and the difficult relationships Kate & I have with our mothers. (Or at least, the relationships we used to have. We love you ladies.) Also, reference links to the talk "Sexuality and Singledom" by Dr. Jennifer Fife can be found here. Elder Holland's Mark Twain address can be accessed here.

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!
