Story Men - November 22, 2013
Stephen R. Donaldson and the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant
From Series: "StoryMen Season 2"
More guests! Tougher topics! More monsters! The StoryMen are back and better than ever!
The StoryMen take some time to reflect on what they’re grateful for. The conversation turns to Thanksgiving traditions – real and made up. Then, since we’re talking about founding myths, we investigate recent admissions by the Mormon church that Joseph Smith was in fact a polygamist. Finally, we engage the conversation about the “Stand and Greet” time many churches employ, but many people hate. Plus, we introduce our Pop Culture Picks of the Week!
