Should be a good one- Mormonism and Pop Culture
http://www.kuer.org/#radiowest%20schedule
Religion and the media have frequently had an uneasy relationship, and the LDS Church is no exception. Mormons are recognizable enough in mainstream culture to be depicted and even ridiculed in TV and film. On Wednesday, RadioWest looks at the South Park episode "All about the Mormons?" In it, the creators take on some of the most sacred accounts of the Church’s origins. But beyond the caricature, what does the episode say about belief, faith and how outsiders understand the Church?
