Barbie Episode! Cara finally gets the upper hand by having both Erin and Mindy at the table. At long last, a break from this sausage fest. And just in time. We read more of these short outrs and add a few more dudes to the character roster. For

Episode 30 with Kelly

Sep 14th, 2023 50m 56s

This is a very special 30th episode because it started this summer when Kelly sat down to record with us at Revival and, well, it was the most magical, funny, insightful episode we’ve ever recorded. Seriously, I think it was going to be our piè

Episode 29 with Mindy

Sep 1st, 2023 49m 11s

Oil wrestling or mud wrestling? That's really all we need to figure out. I mean, there's an obvious choice, but Bronze skips over that and gets dirty. Look, we know it can't be easy to make brass plates in pre-columbian Panama but it feels like

Episode 28 with Michael

Aug 22nd, 2023 50m 19s

We are joined by Michael, no stranger to podcasting, and we get to dive into the juiciest tale so far in BOMcast! Tell me Jacob's a low-energy beta without telling me he is... start a story with an apology, regularly use the wrong agricultural

Episode 27 with Mike and Cousin Sterling

Aug 18th, 2023 47m 22s

Mike and Cousin Sterling help us put a nail in The Book of Jacob Chapter iii and not a moment too soon. This has to be the worst parable ever. It's like a Martha Stewart had a breakdown and started maiming olive trees to get back at an ex kind

Episode 26 with Nate

Aug 14th, 2023 55m 10s

Nate gives us the best opening story so far and then we're in it. We cast Rick Moranis as Jacob and Jacob tries his best to measure up to his dad and older brother with an extend parable/analogy involving an Olive Vineyard.That's right. Not an

Episode 25 with Chad

Aug 2nd, 2023 40m 56s

We got to read with Chad again! Can we just say that Jacob’s our favorite? I mean, sure who do we have to compare him to? Enos, played by Prince Herbert of the Swamp? Nephi, who's one of the best-written characters but God, he's the worst. Jaco

Episode 24 Lehi's Dream

Jul 11th, 2023 39m 57s

Gonzo talks to Mike (Mormons on Mushrooms) about Lehi's Tree of Life dream. Mike is our first, and hopefully, not last expert on BOMcast. His background in depth psychology, dream analysis, his penchant for the absurd, and his delightful laugh

Episode 23

Jul 3rd, 2023 39m 31s

It's the core crew. We start off-script and miraculously manage to read a bit of Jacob. We managed to bring it together, but some of the tangents during the intro were too tangential. But fear not; keep an eye out on IG for out-of-context-outt

Episode 22 with "Reggie"

May 18th, 2023 1h 14m

Is it finally Jacob’s turn to shine? “Reggie” (Cara’s favorite false name) joins us to kick off Jacob and while we kind of hate to admit it Jacob is his own character. But the thing is he’s not Nephi. Not the mob-boss cult leader his brother wa

Episode 21

May 1st, 2023 1h 14m

I’m so happy with this episode. We did it folks, we finished Nephi. We also sang the longest drunk singing reading to date! We get to brass tacks; what is the holiest of the holes? And we figure out the name of God's bar. It's not cloud 9. That

Episode 20 with Scott

Apr 25th, 2023 1h 14m

We had fun with this one thanks to our guest host, Scott. Scott works as a therapist and brought a great perspective and intelligence that is normally missing from our yammering. We didn't realize it until later that we recorded a great convers

Episode 19 with Dan

Apr 5th, 2023 44m 40s

Dan joins us again (Episode 13) and immediately we’re dealing with God’s obsession with some man’s rod—Jessie’s rod. We learn of children playing on Asp-holes and putting their hands on the fabled cockatrice’s den. This mythical beast inspires

Episode 18 with Mindy

Mar 22nd, 2023 51m 17s

Mindy (episode 10) joins us to suffer another chapter-long quote from the book of Isaiah, and so of course we start hallucinating. We crack open the old chestnut: What's with Mary, mother of Jesus—new theory, she was a beard the whole time! Oh,

Episode 17 with Brian

Mar 16th, 2023 1h 2m

Brian joins us again (in episode 6 and the interviews in episode 14) to finish chapter VI in the Second Book of Nephi. We love Brian. We wouldn’t want to embarrass him this way, but he’s kind of a big deal, and if there’s been any improvement i

Episode 16 with Aaron

Feb 27th, 2023 52m 43s

Aaron returns (first joining us in Episode 8) to polish off Chapter V in The Second Book of Nephi. We power through Jacob's copying more Isaiah into the permanent record. One gets the impression that Nephi and Jacob have an entire cottage indus

Episode 15 with Chad (and Connor!)

Feb 24th, 2023 56m 13s

In this episode, we're joined by Chad and then delightfully Connor (Episode 10) drops in. We read Chapter V in The Second Book of Nephi, starting on page 74. Heads-up, this is an Isaiah chapter. We feel like we read some of these chapters to ta

Episode 14 interview with Brian

Jan 19th, 2023 23m 51s

In this special edition of the BOMCast, we listen in on an impromptu interview that took place after recording a regular episode with Brian G., a friend of the show and star of Episode 6. Listen in on this short chat, and if you have any questi

Episode 13 with Dan

Dec 24th, 2022 1h 1m

Gonzo, Bronze, and Cara are joined by Dan as they read through the events following Lehi's death in Second Nephi. For all his failings, Lehi managed to keep the peace between Laman, Nephi, and the family factions that followed each. Nephi obvio

Episode 12 with Josh

Dec 18th, 2022 42m 36s

Gonzo, Bronze, Cara, and Josh (the only man who could ever reach us) dive into Lehi's deathbed wishes and guilt trips for his children. We find new joy in the text thanks to Josh's facility with a spot-on baptist preacher accent that inspires t

Second Nephi Chapter 1 Part 2–Chapter 4

Dec 16th, 2022 37m 15s

Gonzo, Bronze, Cara, and Josh (the only man that ever reached me) bask in Lehi's deathbed council and wishes for his children. They try various speech patterns to see which really captures Lehi. It's a toss-up between the Southern Baptist preac

Episode 11 with Kate

Dec 8th, 2022 46m 16s

Gonzo, Bronze, Cara, and the lovely Kate chew on Second Nephi Chapter 1 Part 1. We dive into quite the scene; Lehi's on his deathbed doling out judgments and passive aggressions to his sons (sorry daughters!). Bronze makes the keen observation

Episode 9 with Ron

Nov 27th, 2022 51m 25s

Gonzo, Bronze, and Cara are joined by Ron to dive deep into Nephi Chapter 5 Part 2 & Chapter 2 which has some really dense bedtime stores. Nephi's brother supposedly asked what was in the brass bible and Nephi paraphrases Isaiah (King James sty

Episode 10 with Mindy & Connor

Nov 27th, 2022 32m 36s

Gonzo, Bronze, and Cara are joined by Mindy & Connor for this final chapter in Nephi's first book. Nephi gives us a Cliff's notes summary of what he's learned about the world and end-times so far. Connor and Mindy really bring the main course a

Episode 8 with Aaron

Nov 10th, 2022 53m 21s

Gonzo, Bronze, Cara, and Aaron progress through Nephi Chapter 4 Part 2 thru Chapter 5 Part 1, stopping regularly to chuckle at the incomprehensible length of Nephi's diatribes. We get it, Nephi, you're right, and everyone else is wrong. Let th
