I’ll say it again, Ya’ll are the best. Thoroughly enjoyed the “Religion Business” episode. The show, the guests, and the comments were pithy throughout. Full of significance in every measurable way. Information like this confirms my belief that putting the Church in my rear view mirror is the best decision I ever made. V/r, Free mo /aka Falconboomer

Fascinating. And RFM has a pitch perfect “radio voice,” great delivery and a shining personality

Beautifully schizophrenic podcast, where one day you’ll have an episode exposing some of the incredibly sordid history of the Mormon church, and the next episode a gripping legal thriller exploring the adventures of the worlds dumbest litigant. This pod has it all. Have fun and subscribe already!

Incredibly well done Podcast! The storytelling and composition captivate the listener. Even if you are not associated with the church, this podcast has intrigue and true crime that it marvels Dateline.

I’ve always enjoyed listening to the show but have especially loved the Shakespeare episodes this year. I appreciate that RFM explains Hamlet in a way that’s easy to understand. I force the episodes upon my children while they’re trapped in the car to and from school. I didn’t think they were getting much out of the episodes and so I was absolutely floored tonight when my daughter quoted, “something is rotten in the state of Denmark”. We listened to that episode at least six months ago. Thank you, RFM, for enlightening us in all the ways!

As a NEVER Mormon, I loved the show with RFM and Kolby Reddish. As a never Mormon, this has been an extremely educational on this specific religious belief system. Keep up the GREAT AND AMAZING WORK RADIO FREE MORMON, BILL REEL &Kolby Reddish.

I enjoy RFM’s and Bill Reel’s research, their experiences and stories, and especially the laughter, light-mindedness and witty sarcasm. I’m almost certain that the (few) 1-star reviews are from church zealots who feel they must defend the delusion that they have dedicated their lives to.

I really like this podcast. I think it brings valuable context to the passages he discusses. Why was there a commentary about abridging in the middle of the book? How can so much time be accounted for by so few individuals? Hundreds of years are explained away by a handful of comments. What happened to all of the kings being named Nephi? Why are there 2 different accounts of getting the records of the Jaredites? Why are the people so surprised finding out about the Jaredites the second time? These things just don’t make sense. It all starts to come together if you know what’s going on with the translation at the time.

This guy likes to hear himself talk.

RFM! Is awesome i would never miss a Sunday school class or elders class if he was teaching!! I love how he cuts through all the fluff and layout the real problem!! Also after being taught the further light and knowledge from “RFM” it’s really hard to set in church as a (pimo) You know physically in mentally out ? LoL

I appreciate breaking things down with logic and facts. This podcast does just that. Presents the facts and let me determine for myself what to feel about them.

The description says it preforms a historical and contextual analysis of church topics, but there is nothing analytical happening. It is just him sharing his opinion of why he doesn’t agree with the church. He is a disgruntled ex-member who now feels it is his job to pull others away from the church. If the church didn’t fit well in his life, why is he spending so much time listening to conference?

It’s not worth you time . A lot of opinions and guesses to problems, no history of facts to back up his claims, mostly lies to his audience, which is being intellectually dishonest, something I believe he prides himself in doing.

Extremely effective at clearing up the thick, tangled mess of the dark and often deceptive web of Mormonism.

The only long-running podcast I’ve ever listened to that I enjoyed so thoroughly that I consumed virtually every back episode.

RFM. Sunday School 💪👍🏻

As an ex-mo I love listening to your podcasts! And the idea for “Sunday school” is brilliant. Keep up the good work! Gin

Only two episodes of Mormon Sunday School have been released, and I am hooked! Would that RFM had been my Sunday School teacher. My husband and I will be reinstating family home evening with our 25 year old daughter and will be enjoying this brilliant Come Follow Me material every Monday night as a family.

I am an avid listener to RFM’s podcasts (proudly, I’ve listened to every episode, some multiple times). They have been instrumental to me as I continue to work through the often dark days of religious deconstruction. His wit, intellect and ability to lead profound and salient discussions are amazing. RFM’s podcasts are packed with important information, fun stories and anecdotes, making each podcast entertaining and enlightening. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone going through a faith crisis or anyone trying to better understand those going through the deconstruction process from a high-demand religion.

Radio Free Mormon is one of the best and brightest delivering some of the most impactful information in a delightfully entertaining way.

RFM is hilarious! Definitely the ex-mormon podcast that makes me laugh out loud the most! RFM is insightful and clearly does his research.

I’ve been listening for years and it just gets better and better. I appreciate your sense of humor so much. I love your solo episodes as well as Mormonism Live with Bill. You two are entertaining to listen to. I am thankful for your thorough research and I really enjoy your perspective! Found you in a dark time; thank you for doing this! 👍👍

Love it

Love this podcast! RFM makes me laugh.

Factual gospel information laid out by an attorney with a skill set that leads along for the ride! Often quick witted, with a penchant for incorporating song lyrics and movie lines for those of us who remember the 70’s and 80’s, mingled with healthy dose sarcastic delights that lead to loud laughter.

RFM does his research, invites us to do our own. In the meantime, I love getting the witty download.

Bill Reel is one the most cognitively dumb people in these media sphere

Well-researched. Insightful. Empathetic. Humor in only the right places.

Very informative and entertaining love them!!!! It’s amazing being raised in the church how much I didn’t know. I love how they are not contentious just share information and the other side. Keep up the great work

The snark level was perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed the take down. Your delivery was great.

I lasted nine minutes. It was hard but I felt I should give them the benefit of the doubt.

Recently wasted two hours of my life listening to an episode of this. The views expressed were so divorced from reality that it was like listening to astrologers talk about brain surgery.

RFM is incredibly well-informed on the subject of Mormonism, and has managed to be one of the only online Mormon/Mormon-adjacent personalities who has managed to remain fair to both the faithful Mormon and the exMormon sides of the argument. I believe that RFM has integrity—he’s true to the facts, even when they contradict his preferred position—and that integrity comes through in his approach to a number of relevant, current Mormon topics. I’ve learned more about Mormonism through this podcast than I did through more than 30 years as an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and I’ll always be grateful to RFM (and his employer and frequent co-host, Bill Reel) for tackling the difficult subjects and metaphorically holding my hand through some really uncomfortable discoveries. A great podcast and my #1 recommendation to people who are sincerely seeking the truth about Mormonism and are willing to follow that path wherever the truth leads.

Really, you can remain in a fairytale and believe the LDS church can do no wrong or you can learn all about the ins and outs if it. RFM does his homework. Maybe a little cocky, but that doesn't change the facts of the LDS church.

RFM greatly impacted my life and journey. He is witty, kind, measured, honest, and has occasionally brilliant insights!

You are the best!!!!

Just that. Irreverent, and not in a particularly funny, insightful, or good way. Not helpful.

An outstanding podcast. Always delivers fresh and interesting topics. RFM is a great source of knowledge and has a good sense of humor. I highly recommend subscribing to the podcast whether or not you are LDS. Another bonus is that RFM often includes excellent source material in the episode notes so you can dive deeper into topics.

What wonderful and enlightening conversations! And Maven is AMAVISING! They are like friends💙

I appreciate the host and his in depth consideration of the facts. Really enjoy his insights as well. Fun to listen to, and a great informative source from which a person can then do his or her own further study. Kudos to RFM for all the time and effort put into the show. Thank you RFM!!

RFM is engaging and so intelligent. Research is solid and the context and narrative are so enlightening.

Entertaining way to learn more about LDS topics and history

I look forward to conference summary every 6 months.

High quality, heavily researched and facts.

Love it all. Appreciate all the content over the years!

RFM has done many fantastic podcasts. Maybe I have just lost interest in the topic. However, I feel that the newer episodes are less interesting. Do an episode about the temple square vaccine mandate. Requiring a Covid vaccine for 5 year olds to attend temple square activities this season. That is controversial and worthy of discussion. Bring on some alternative voices. If you want to hold the church to account for their actions make it about topics that people care about.

I think RFM’s podcast episodes are some of the most well thought out and accurate forms of information on the LDS Church out there. His photographic memory, commitment to fair representation of the facts and his sense of humor are a great combination in my opinion. I like that he’s not afraid to admit when there are decent apologetics, but also not afraid to apply critical thinking to aspects of doctrine some may not dare question. His background as a lawyer and former LDS apologist is extremely insightful. Thanks RFM!

I love his detailed, thoughtful, scholarly approach to LDS topics.

Congrats men & maven! One year anniversary. Great show with Nemo Now I’ve changed my mind…maven is not helping the continuity and I’m puzzled why you keep pausing to find clips that bill used to include promptly and at the right time

RFM is like that cool relative that you look forward to seeing at the family reunion. He’s funny and full of incredible information that I could sit and listen to for hours at a time.
