John quits Podcasting

Post by _Mayan Elephant »

i suppose, based on my experience and participation, that podcasting can be a thankless endeavor. looks like Mormon Expressions is going to try and keep it going with a new host. I nominate Neutral Observer.

Beginning in 2015, John will be moving on from hosting the Mormon Expression podcast and instead focus his time and attention on building the White Fields Educational Foundation. White Fields is dedicated to assisting individuals in creating healthy individual identity after leaving fundamentalist religions. White Fields is the parent company of Mormon Expression.

Does this mean that his bishop + SP won that round?

Larsen, not D-man. If I recall correctly, he resigned from the Corporation of the President Yadayada few years ago.

it means that all your conspiracies can come true, i think. or that john is moving on to something else, it could possibly just mean that.

Good luck to him in what ever he does. He cranked out some great podcasts that helped me put into words a lot of the thoughts and feelings I was experiencing on my way out of the church.

Look at that... this is what I get for not getting around to sorting out my podcasts or clicking on the link. Bad, bad.

I will commit to penance now by having a cup of overly hot coffee, which will be the liquid version of twenty lashes. At least it may wake me enough to figure out that this John is not the Dehlin version.

I'm confused. Are "Mormon Expression" and "Mormon Stories" the same thing? If not, is John Dehlin just quitting the one and not the other? Thanks in advance.

I freely admit I was having a senior moment here. I confused the two Johns. My apologies.
