Episode 15 - On Secret Lives and Mormon Wives

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has created quiiiiite a stir…mostly among people who are somehow affiliated with the church in their lives.

But the opinions? Oof. They’re ALLLL over the place. We chat a bit about that, and then start a discussion with each other about some of the questions being brought up that weren’t directly stated.

We would love to hear your thoughts on it, and any of the other commentary that you want to share in our chat thread. Find that here:
