Episodes

LDL Letters 28: Rocky Little Shop of Horrors 12.02.2020

This week's letter is from Ari, a never-mo transgender woman who met her fiancé during a performance of a very iconic cult classic. Can you guess which one based on the title of this episode? Pretty sure Shelly is still confused. Hint: there's no Venus flytrap character. So grab a cup of Apostate Coffee and give a listen, won't you? Music provided by Purple Planet: https://www.purple-planet.com Ho...

59: We're Feeling A Bit Trunky 09.02.2020

In this episode we read a series of reports from our plant inside the Mission Training Center (we're sneakier than the Mormon Strengthening Church Members Committee). Also, we have an amazing FUMPOTD, and we hear from Sister Fanny Fact Check. Then special guest, Annie, recounts the best ways to manipulate potential converts (you crushed it, Annie). Please join us, won't you? Music provided by Purp...

LDL Letters 27: What's In A Name? 05.02.2020

This week's letter writer cracks Mary up, as in, a big belly laugh. Shelly is left a bit baffled, proving what a difference an 8-year age gap can make. Confused? Give a listen to the episode and see what we mean. Each week we read and discuss 1-2 letters (depending on length) from listeners just like you! So please get in touch with us through our website at latterdaylesbian.org/contact. We'd love...

58: Mary & Shelly Break the Any-Ol'-Gram Test 02.02.2020

Diana joins us for another fast and testimony episode, and this time she tells us all about the Enneagram Test. We can't seem to get the name right though...Banana Gram? Wait - Candy Gram? Uh...Teddy Grahams? And no, Shelly, you're not a "yellow" (no idea what test she's taking). In this episode Diana references The Complete Enneagram by Beatrice Chestnut PhD, Neurobiologist Dr. Jerome Lubbe, and...

LDL Letters 26: Cult or Club? Chris Helps Us Decide. 29.01.2020

This week we hear from Chris on nude paintings, that caused the spirit to leave (and frightened neighborhood children), and rocking a Jesus beard. Way to break those Mormon norms, hairy Chris. Each week we read and discuss 1-2 letters (depending on length) from listeners just like you! So please get in touch with us through our website at latterdaylesbian.org/contact. We'd love to hear from you. T...

57: Jerry Springer Inspired Me To Come Out 26.01.2020

Please give a listen to our amazing interview with special guest, Amy Stephens, cohost of the Transformation Thursday Podcast (available wherever you listen to podcasts).

See acast.com/privacy for more infor...

LDL Letters 25: Molly Un-Mormon Makes Shelly Trigger 22.01.2020

This week we find out what if feels like to be considered past your marrying prime at the ripe old age of 31 and are asked to leave the singles ward. Yet another reason to feel shamed by Mormonism (but we expect no less at this point). Each week we read and discuss 1-2 letters (depending on length) from listeners just like you! So please get in touch with us through our website at latterdaylesbian...

56: Ordinary Equality, Talking ERA with Kate Kelly 19.01.2020

Hey everybody, we're super excited about this week's interview with ex-Mormon activist and all around badass, Kate Kelly! We hear all about what she's been up to, and she wasn't afraid to tackle the tough questions we threw at her, like, "So Kate, is it true ya like the ladies?" We learned so much, and laughed of course...ya know, the usual. Also, want to express a heartfelt congratulations to the...

LDL Letters 24: Dorothy on Pregnant Mare Urine and Other Beauty Tips 15.01.2020

The drug, Premarin, is not a good idea. In fact, it's really inhumane to manufacture. We advise against taking it. And in this week's Latter-Day Lesbian letter, Dorothy tells us all about that and other Mormon prescribed opposite-sex-attracting methods and treatments. Should be a good time. Each week we read and discuss 1-2 letters (depending on length) from listeners just like you! So please get...

55: How Mo Tab Ruined Sleigh Ride 12.01.2020

Did you know the LDS church changed a bunch of Christmas songs to sound more Mormony? We discuss a couple of them this week with the help of Sister Fanny Fact Check and Hermana Concha. We also roast a troll and talk about Mary's wacky holiday with her family. Please join us for our 2019 year-end wrap up. Should be a good one. Music provided by Purple Planet: https://www.purple-planet.com Hosted on...

LDL Letters 23: Annetta on Pirate Porn and The Priesthood 08.01.2020

Because one leads naturally to the other, right? Kidding. But somehow both are topics for this week's Latter-Day Lesbian Letters episode. And when your husband gives you tips for dating women, that's not awkward at all, right? Wowsers. Each week we read and discuss 1-2 letters (depending on length) from listeners just like you! So please get in touch with us through our website at latterdaylesbian...

54: Resolve to Not Resolve: A Better New Year's Tradition 05.01.2020

Diana joins us once again for our first podcast in 2020! In this episode we resolve to screw resolutions, embrace that inner child, and more hippy-dippy crap like that. Kumbaya listeners. You're welcome. Once again Diana references Holistic Psychologist Dr. Nicole LePera. Check her out here: https://yourholisticpsychologist.com Music provided by Purple Planet: https://www.purple-planet.com Hosted...

FUMPOTD FESTIVUS: a 2019 Holiday Special (for the rest of us) 23.12.2019

Surprise! It's a gift from us to you in the form of an unexpected episode. We're revisiting our favorite FUMPOTDs of 2019. With the help of Sister Fanny Fact-Check, and of course, Brother Ben, we'll take a look back at the phrases that made us chuckle or just scratch our heads and wonder what Brother Joe was smokin. We hope you enjoy, and have a very happy holiday season! Music provided by Purple...

53: Trauma Bonding, a.k.a. Mary & Shelly's Intervention 24.11.2019

Today we are joined by therapist and good friend, Kimberly Anderson, who helps us to breathe and process a few of our issues. Should be a triggering good time.

Music provided by Purple Planet: https://www.purple-planet.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy...

LDL Letters 22: Shelly Learns the Difference Between Scotland and Ireland 20.11.2019

In this episode, Sarah describes her life going from the American West to way across the pond, and then to her ultimate destination: discovering she was a transgender woman. Shelly, meanwhile, is either confused about geography or about alcohol. We're not sure. So grab a cup of Les-BEAN Apostate Coffee ( https://apostatecoffee.com ), with or without Bailey's IRISH Cream, and have a listen! Each we...

52: When Your A-Hole Ex Is Still Dragging Your Kids To Church 17.11.2019

In this episode we are joined once again by Ammy and Jennifer, who speak candidly about Jennifer's TBM ex and her kids who are continuing to be brainwashed by the LDS church and their bigoted father. This conversation is cathartic for anyone in this same situation, so grab a cup of Apostate Coffee's Les-BEAN blend ( https://apostatecoffee.com ) and get comfy. Music provided by Purple Planet: https...

LDL Letters 21: Melody Joy on Knowing Too Much and Learning to Lie 13.11.2019

In this episode, listener Melody Joy provides us with a list of past superlatives, because after all, Mormons have to be the best, right? Speaking of...we also talk about how Joseph Smith was the best treasure hunter, scoundrel, philanderer, pedophile, adulterer, presidential wannabe, and charmer of women of all ages…for starters (and those were his good points). Join us, won’t you? Each week we r...

51: Lady Brains Are Like Pancakes and Spaghetti 10.11.2019

Did you know that women's minds are like pancakes and men's are like waffles? That was the teaching from one seminar. Another said they're more like spaghetti. To which we say YUM - brains have never sounded more delicious! Join guests Ammy and Jennifer for a rousing discussion about our carbo-loaded grey matter. The article discussed in this episode: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/women-ernst-you...

LDL Letters 20: Molly writes, "Don't judge my mom bod" 06.11.2019

Welcome to Episode 20 of LDL Letters! In this episode Molly (Not So Mormon) talks about being a single "menace to society," to quote brother Brigham. What a douche!

We'd love to hear from you. Thanks! Music provided b...

50: Meet Your New Bestie: BOUNDARIES! 03.11.2019

Nothing beats a good boundary...except maybe another boundary. Diana and Ben join us as we figure out what these things are and why we need `em. Should be a good time. Further study mentioned in this episode: Dr. Nicole LePer, The Holistic Psychologist: https://yourholisticpsychologist.com , and "You Are Your Own": A Reckoning with the Religious Trauma of Evangelical Christianity by Jamie Lee Finc...

LDL Letters 19: Glen, the "Pasthole" 30.10.2019

Welcome to Episode 19 of LDL Letters! In this episode Glen describes his journey from a-hole (or "pasthole") to ally. What a total transformation! We perhaps "letter shamed" Glen when we met him at the Protect Every Child rally, so we really appreciate him writing in and being willing to share his story! Each week we read and discuss 1-2 letters (depending on length) from listeners just like you!...

49: "It Shouldn't Be Hard" (cuz we're lesbians, get it?) 27.10.2019

This week, Fanny Fact Check recorded here in person! She and her "companion" were our visiting teachers. Mary felt a bit funny about the visit, to which she was reminded that "the spirit" was simply letting her know she was misbehaving. Glad we could clear that up. Also, the FUMPOTD is obviously fake, and Bednar is the subject of a self-righteous, "He Said What?!?" Should be a good time! Music pro...

LDL Letters 18: Charly and Dayna 23.10.2019

Welcome to Episode 18 of LDL Letters! In this episode we hear from Charly, a teenager who can't wait to move out of what she refers to as the "stupid" state of Utah.

Each week we read and discuss 1-2 letters (depending on length) from listeners just like you! So pl...

48: Conversion therapy for kids? Suck it, Mormon church! 20.10.2019

On this episode we discuss the LDS recent opinions over the debate about the ban on conversion therapy. Uh yeah. Just when you think this crap can't get any crazier. Ugh! Also, Fanny Fact Check helps figure out what a Zelph it is. Turns out it has nothing to do with a shelf. Go figure. All that and more, so please give a listen! Music provided by Purple Planet: https://purple-planet.com Hosted on...

LDL Letters 17: Melissa and Lara 16.10.2019

Welcome to Episode 17 of LDL Letters! In this episode Melissa compares her Presbyterian upbringing to Mormonism, and Lara talks about being raised as both Mormon and Fundamentalist Christian. Nutty!
