Who thinks Hagoth should apply?

This is for encouragement, ideas, and support for people going through a faith transition no matter where you hope to end up. This is also the place to laugh, cry, and love together.

Who thinks Hagoth should apply?

Post by Red Ryder » Thu Nov 15, 2018 8:01 pm

Hagoth you should apply to be on the panel.

https://www.reddit.com/r/exmormon/comme ... _be_heard/
It is time for you to be heard!

Sunstone is launching a new weekly podcast to discuss Mormon related topics. We are seeking to establish a monthly panel to chat about whatever is current in the Mormon/ex-Mormon world (think Real Time with Bill Mahr). We are looking to create a pool of panelists who can come on and share their own views and opinions.

Qualifications:

You need to have the following qualifications

Be opinionated.

Be able to articulate those opinions and be challenged without losing your cool.

Be respectful of other opinions

Be willing to "jump in" and talk over other people.

Don't be dumb. Be well informed and well read.

Have a good voice.

Be willing to learn

Be excited about doing this.

Be able to record in studio in SLC.

We kind of have the white male demographic covered. While we encourage everyone who is interested to apply, preference will be given to alternative voices. In particular this means we will give preference to people of color, women, conservatives and believers.

The application process:

You will send a 3-4 minute mp3 to johnlarsen@sunstone.org. If it is shorter than 3 or longer than 4 or in any other format it won't be considered.

From these submissions, we will select individuals to come in and do a live audition.

If you pass the audition, we will try you out and see how you do.

This can be so much fun, but it is work and commitment. Any and all questions can be directed to me at johnlarsen@sunstone.org.

Good luck! I look forward to hearing from you.

*Raises arm to the square*

I support and sustain Hagoth for this panel. Also Alas would be great on this too.

Although this might be fun, making it to SLC weekly would not be. I live in (tiny town) Idaho in Summer and Hurricane UT in winter. The commute would be a killer.

A great big "Yea" from me! There's no one better than Hagoth (Although Alas is pretty incredible too) :)

Hagoth has my vote, especially if he rides in on a tapir.

Hagoth is well read, has a sharp mind and many excellent things to say. He would be a great addition to that panel.

See if they will validate parking for that tapir.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

I officially nominate Dear Penguin Moksha for the panel.

I say apply anyway and get them to accommodate your distance by the appropriate remote meeting technology. You have a lot to contribute.

Bill Reel is about to be exed. I KNOW what happens to podcast people and when my gay daughter and her wife resigned, I promised my TBM Spouseman that I would stay a member. He is really very tolerant of my apostasy, but he wants me to stay a member and stay out of trouble. This sounds like trouble. And I am not much of a rabble rouser.

I understand the mixed marriage tightrope. So I guess that means this community is about as far as you can let authentic you out of the bag. Glad that we have the benefit of your posts.
