Mormon Discussion’s podcast production is certainly not connected to The Mormon Church aka The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It also is most assuredly not approved or endorsed by Intellectual Reserve, Inc or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Any of the awesome content or the solid opinions expressed, implied or included in Mormon Discussion Inc’s awesome podcast lineup and production are solely those of Mormon Discussion Inc. and/or its program hosts and not those of Intellectual Reserve, Inc. or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Mormon Discussion Inc is a 501(c)(3) and is in the arena of journalistic work and is part of a free press. A free press is fundamental to a democratic society. It seeks out and circulates news, information, ideas, comment and opinion and holds those in authority to account. The press provides the platform for a multiplicity of voices to be heard. At national, regional and local level, it is the public’s watchdog, activist and guardian as well as educator, entertainer and contemporary chronicler. Under the “fair use” defense, however, another author may make limited use of the original author’s work without asking permission. Fair use is based on the belief that the public is entitled to freely use portions of copyrighted materials for purposes of commentary and criticism.
The fair use privilege is perhaps the most significant limitation on a copyright owner’s exclusive rights.
Subject to some general limitations discussed later in this article, the following types of uses are usually deemed fair uses:
- Criticism and commentary: for example, quoting or excerpting a work in a review or criticism for purposes of illustration or comment. A book reviewer would be permitted to quote passages from a book in a newspaper column, for example, as part of an examination of the book.
- News reporting: such as summarizing an address or article, with brief quotations, in a news report. A journalist would be permitted to quote from a political speech’s text without the politician’s permission.
- Research and scholarship: perhaps quoting a short passage in a scholarly, scientific, or technical work for illustration or clarification of the author’s observations. An art historian would be able to use an image of a painting in an academic article that analyzes the painting.
- Nonprofit educational uses: for example, when teachers photocopy limited portions of written works for classroom use. An English teacher would be permitted to copy a few pages of a book to show to the class as part of a lesson plan.
- Parody: that is, a work that ridicules another, usually well-known, work by imitating it in a comic way. A comedian could quote from a movie star’s speech in order to make fun of that star.
Keep the “and we’re still married” tagline. It’s so cute. And keep up the great work!

Enjoyed hearing your son tonight. What a great kid!
Also, I feel you both have handled your faith crisis with maturity and hearing you talk it does not sound like crisis. Sounds stable
With advanced notice, I’m willing to contribute.
I’m a marriage therapist and 10 years into our MFMM. I’m ANBM and wife is PM.
First 5 years was drama. We also had a 15 yr old become suicidal in the middle of all this. She is ok. Returning from residential treatment in the fall. We are OK. Just celebrated 26 years marriage and 2 kids in college. Thanks for your contributions to the community. I plan to listen to Tricia n Matt next
Just listened to your interview with Richard Ostler. AWESOME. My wife is from Barcelona. I am American, born in Utah. We’ve been living there since 1983. We live in Sabadell, former bishop there, but seva had faith journeys together out of the church. I wonder if our paths crossed, if we have common friends. My wife comes from a prominent LDS poo ear family in Barcelona.
Hi Allan & Kattie,
Hopefully this gets to you. I’m Scott Rosenlof and I’ve been a member of your group for a while now. Listened to your podcasts and followed you on Facebook. I love your message! I also started my own Facebook page called “The Active Husband” about 7 months ago, a year after my wife decided to leave the church. I’m brining this up only because wether you know it or not, you’ve helped with my page 🙂. We have a common member who mentioned my page in a comment on yours which has helped bring a few people to join my group. I feel we are very complimentary to each other and have very similar missions and ideals in common. I’ve added you as a “Recommend” site on my page. I ask that you do the same. I would love to invite you guys to take a look. Although much much smaller and not nearly as professional as yours, I’m proud of what we are building. I think we can share the same messages together.
