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!
Our 150th episode is dedicated to Susako Endo's masterful novel SILENCE. In honor of the new film from Martin Scorsese, we interview an array of artists, theologians and historians about the themes of this powerful story.
