What were the most recent podcasts with Gerardo and Jen and what were their contributions?
There is some delay between the recording and download, so 2-3 weeks? Gerardo and Jen both served in technical and on-air capacities. Gerardo also served as a program producer.

Think of served as an analog to the words functioned or performed. For instance, "He performed as a producer vs he served as a producer".

Out of curiosity, have you ever watched Mormon Stories?

Served seems an appropriate verb since it’s likely they were donating their time and not getting paid. I would be surprised if they were ever actual employees.

If he’s getting a half a million a year as some have alleged and not paying anyone that’d be ridiculous. I trust he’s paid people and fairly.

According to Open Stories Foundation's 2020 IRS filing, John got $215K in executive compensation and the rest of the "staff" got about $5,000 to share amongst themselves.

Jesus. I would not do what he does for that compensation. To hell with that.

Thanks for that. Sounds pretty crappy. I guess the rumored news I got about his compensation is greatly exaggerated, at least. If what you say is true, its no wonder why people are leaving. They get on as volunteers of some sort, perhaps...and then leave after a time.

Sit and listen to people drone on about their stories for hours? Why not? Can't stand other people telling you stories or what have you?
