| 6/13/26 |  Episode 165: The Peak of Mormon Polygamy | In this episode, Lindsay and Bryan dive into the 1860s, the decade when Mormon polygamy reached its statistical and cultural peak. Drawing on census data, diaries, oral histories, and the sharp observations of British explorer Richard Francis Burton, they examine how plural marriage became woven into Utah’s theology, politics, economics, and daily life.

| 8/20/25 |  Episode 153: Mountain Meadows Massacre, Pt. 1 | In our most incendiary episode yet, “The Summer of Conspiracy” rips open the shocking truth of how Mormon leaders, consumed by apocalyptic terror and drunk on prophetic power, weaponized an entire territory in the blood-soaked summer of 1857. When the federal government came knocking, Brigham Young and his zealot lieutenants didn’t just declare war, they … | — | ||||||

| 7/23/25 |  Episode 151: The 1886 Revelation Validated | In a surprising turn, the LDS Church has quietly validated the long-disputed 1886 Revelation given to John Taylor, a document that fundamentalists have clung to for over a century as divine proof that plural marriage was never meant to end. In this episode, Lindsay and Bryan dig into the origins of the revelation, the secret … | — | ||||||
| 7/10/25 |  Episode 150: The Steptoe Expedition | In this episode, Lindsay and Bryan unravel the Steptoe Expedition, a moment of uneasy calm before the storm of the Utah War and Mountain Meadows Massacre.

| 6/25/25 |  Episode 149: The Handcart Disaster | What happens when spiritual ambition meets logistical failure? In this episode, we dig into the catastrophic 1856 Mormon handcart disaster, when Brigham Young’s promise of a faster, cheaper, holier way to Zion led to starvation, frostbite, and mass death. Stripping away pioneer kitsch and faith-promoting folklore, Lindsay and Bryan uncover the real story of financial … | — | ||||||
| 5/21/25 |  Episode 148: The Gathering | Mormonism has always dreamed big and in this episode, we dive into one of its boldest and most disastrous dreams: the great gathering of Zion.

| 5/1/25 |  Episode 147: The Tragic Tale of Eleanor McLean | Before Mountain Meadows, there was blood in Arkansas.

SHOWNOTES: Eleanor McLean and the Murder of … | — | ||||||
| 4/15/25 |  Episode 146: Runaway Judges with John Dinger | In this episode, legal historian John Dinger joins us to uncover the little-known world of rogue probate judges in frontier Utah. These weren’t your average courtroom clerks. Mormons wielded sweeping powers, defied federal authority, and turned probate courts into parallel governments under Brigham Young’s theocracy. What happens when local law outruns the Constitution? Tune in … | — | ||||||
| 4/2/25 |  Episode 145: Runaway Officials | In this episode, Lindsay and Bryan dive into one of the most violent and outrageous chapters of early Mormon history: the “Runaway Officials” scandal. When federal appointees tried to enforce U.S. law in Utah Territory, they faced threats, beatings, and sabotage from a theocratic regime that ran more like a mafia than a government. From … | — | ||||||

| 2/12/25 |  Episode 142: Wild Bill Hickman | In this episode, we delve into the life of one of the most controversial and complex figures of the American West: William Adams “Wild Bill” Hickman, known as “Brigham’s Destroying Angel.” Hickman’s life was a paradox: he was a devoted father to 35 children, a trusted enforcer for Mormon leaders, and a self-proclaimed murderer of … | — | ||||||
| 1/29/25 |  Episode 141: The Utah War, part two | Join Lindsay and Bryan as they dive into the explosive history of the Utah War for part two of our Utah War series.
