BOMcast!
Gonzo, Bronze, Cara, and occasional guests present a reactionary reading of the first edition of the Book of Mormon devoid of a religious context. Join us weekly as we read and react to the text of this book that has been identified as a singular work: it's the only book all educated people know about but have not read.

Episode 17 with Brian
Brian joins us again (in episode 6 and the interviews in episode 14) to finish chapter VI in the Second Book of Nephi. We love Brian. We wouldn’t want to embarrass him this way, but he’s kind of a big deal, and if there’s been any improvement in this project, it’s because he’s been sweet enough to give us helpful advice. In these pages, Nephi hands the mic to his younger brother, protege, and cult leader-in-waiting, Jacob. Jacob is showing some real panache with this stuff. He quotes pages of the brass Bible like an old pro. Obviously, he’s not pulling any shots because Nephi, true to form, cut him off–this might be the closest thing to a Will Smith upstage, as we’ll see in scripture. But don’t you fret; we get bored and play who would win: Present day San Francisco or Biblical Sodom. I won’t leave you hanging; it’s obviously Sodom. You could find some eye-popping kink going down in the Castro, but you’re not going to find thousands of people who can get aroused amongst the lifetime unbathed. Mac & Cheese, table for two!
