Leaving MAGA And Mormonism (w/ Jennie Gage)
CONTENT WARNING: This episode includes frank discussion of racism, domestic violence, religious trauma, online harassment, and threats. Today, we dive into de-radicalization, Christian nationalism, and the real human cost of propaganda, featuring Jennie Gage from Life, Take Two a former white supremacist and ex-Mormon. Jennie rebuilt her life through community, accountability, and hard truths. We talk about how racism was spoon-fed to us as normal, and how indoctrination separates people from themselves and the beautiful world around us.

Ex-Mormon, But Not Ex-Moron (affectionately) // STORYTIME
My first working title for this episode was: "Leaving Mormonism and Flying Frontier: What I Wish I Had to Survive." I think that sums it up! Storytimes are always fun, so sit back and let me tell you the tale of the girl who had to rebuild a nervous system from scratch. "That doesn't sound fun." What if I include my newest lore and hijinks without end? Great.

IT'S HERE: Mormon Nazis (w/Kwaku El)
You'll never guess who I ran into at the local "Fuck Nazis" rally in Utah. That's right, Kwaku El. The face of Ward Radio and Mormon apologetic videos sits down with me for a deep dive on the history and viewpoints of this funky, new brand of white supremacy that bowie knife-wielding involuntary celibates are calling "DezNat". Why? Because the Nazis are here and no one, least of which the LDS church or its pro-LDS podcasters, are doing anything about it.All my links 🔗 https://linktr.ee/nuancehoe Help me continue making important, hilarious content by becoming a one-time or monthly donor!🤝 DONATE VIA DONORBOX! https://donorbox.org/thanks-for-the-amazing-content-carah-let-me-help-you-keep-it-funded👩💻 Join the Hoetown community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/nuancehoe🍯 Tip Jar (Venmo: CarahB): https://account.venmo.com/u/CarahB📫 Contact Nuancehoe: thenuancehoe@gmail.com

The Mountain Meadows Massacre - Quick Facts (w/ Historian Barbara Jones Brown)
Welcome to a recap of the multi-part series on The Mountain Meadows Massacre with historian, author, director of Signature Books, content editor of the award-winning "Massacre at Mountain Meadows" and co-author of "Vengeance Is Mine, The Mountain Meadows Massacre and Its Aftermath" Barbara Jones Brown!In this live steam we ask Barbara the quick facts on the Mountain Meadows Massacre, a tragic event in Mormon history where a group of Mormons in 1857 killed a large group of innocent men, women, and children. With Destiny begging to Manifest in the 1850s, the US government was hot for an economic and cultural superiority expansion. Mormons had their backs! Or DID they?Here's the overview of all the forces at play that led otherwise sane people (hold your jokes) to commit heinous acts of violence on innocent people.Pick up the book Vengeance Is Mine from your local bookseller or online: https://www.amazon.com/Vengeance-Mine-Mountain-Massacre-Aftermath/dp/0195397851Listen to the audiobook of Vengeance Is Mine: https://www.audible.com/pd/Vengeance-Is-Mine-Audiobook/B0C6FPQFB5?eac_link=QUOOMHSekDaE&ref=web_search_eac_asin_3&eac_selected_type=asin&eac_selected=B0C6FPQFB5&qid=xMIVfP7ajx&eac_id=140-1729692-0760619_xMIVfP7ajx&sr=1-3All my links and info on the group trip to Greece! 🔗 https://linktr.ee/nuancehoe👇 👇 👇 I live and die on donor support!
