Skeptics Guide to the Universe - This Day in Skepticism

Podcast called The Skeptics Guide to the Universe. Each week they do a "this day in Skepticim". Today they talk about how Joseph Smith retrieved the golden plates.

They do a pretty good job factually, except the part when they say he was a convicted felon. I don't think he ever got convicted of anything. He usually skipped town first.

I had to laugh how they kept calling Moroni "Moor-own-ee".

I believe he was actually convicted and found guilty for money digging in 1826, but I don't know if that was a felony or a misdemeanor.
Tapirs... Yeah... That's the ticket!
