Welcome to the Mormon Expression Archive

Mormon Expression was a legendary Mormon-themed podcast run by John Larsen from 2009 to 2014.   It stands as one of the most important intellectual and social contributions in the history of the Mormon Internet.

The podcast was eventually taken down by hackers, but John is now partnering with the Open Stories Foundation to:

1. Bring the Mormon Expression podcast audio archive back online so that it can be consumed by podcast apps (e.g., Spotify, Apple Podcast), and
2. John will be recording a monthly podcast episode that will be co-released on Mormon Stories Podcast, and in the renewed Mormon Expression Podcast feed.

Please donate to support this project. All donations are tax deductible in the U.S, and will be directed at John Larsen’s discretion.

• Mormon Expression on Spotify
• Mormon Expression on Anchor
• Other episodes platforms coming soon! (with your support)
