Shownotes Transcript

This week's episode of Mormonish Podcast is a SPECIAL VALENTINE'S DAY EDITION as Landon and Rebecca sit down with Ron Yorganson to do a deeper dive than usual into Joseph Smith's polygamous relationships and more importantly, Emma's documented perspective on each one. Ron is a brilliant historian who focuses on the quirky, unusual and little known stories of Mormon history. He recently started creating hilarious retro newspaper memes that provide humorous comnentary on Mormonism of the past. You can check out "Mormon Weekly News" on Instagram @vintageexmo and some were recently posted by RFM on his Facebook page. We had such an interesting time talking to Ron and delving into the topic, just in time for Valentine's Day. We hope you are as fascinated as we are by this rarely seen glimpse into Joseph and Emma's past.
