About this podcast
Another Side Bar is where two Latter-day Saints pull up a chair and talk about… well, everything. Movies, weird experiences, celebrity run-ins, UFOs, Bigfoot—you name it. Sometimes it gets spiritual, sometimes it gets strange, but it’s always honest, curious, and a little unexpected. Whether you’re religious, skeptical, or somewhere in between, there’s a seat for you here.
