The Cultural Hall Ep.10/Branden Campell of NEON TREES | Branden Campbell of the NEON TREES meet The Cultural Hall, Cultural Hall meet Branden Campbell. This episode almost didn't occur but thanks to Brigham Young and Duran Duran we were able to see this one through. (Listen to the episode you'll get it) We anticipate a lot of new people finding The Cultural Hall so we want to let you know what The Cultural Hall is. Its a place where we discuss Mormonism with people who are Mormon. None of this endorsed by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day saints, but all guests and hosts are members of the LDS church. During the episode Branden refers to a NEON TREES song with lyrics related to the gospel. I posted those here: I would meet you anywhere, but Ive been farther down I saw you somewhere farther down, Did I expect it? Now I'm overcome with fear Mama get me out of here I've gone farther down than I ever wanna go. Lighting up the horizon, To the city sky-lights In a faded aspiration only left in our minds Let us shake up the system, Lets go and rattle their frames Lets take the highest road away and avoid these trappings I would meet you anywhere, but Ive been farther down I saw you somewhere farther down Did I expect it? Now I'm overcome with fear Mama get me out of here Ive gone farther down than I wanna go We stood out in the cold And your eyes, they ate my soul Begged me to come back down, they begged me to come back down Then the ground ate my legs, so I looked up to the sky and said I don't wanna go back down Oh Ive been so far down Heaven help me, heaven help me for the way I've been. Farther down Did I expect it? Now I'm overcome with fear Mama get me out of here I've gone farther down than I ever, than I ever wanna go Farther down, I saw you somewhere Farther down Did I expect it Now I'm overcome with fear Mama get me out, mama get me out of here.

The Cultural Hall Ep.9/Del Parson | This is the first Cultural Hall episode on the road. We had to drive all the way down to Cedar City, so we could sit down with Del Parson, mormon artist. In this episode Laurens mic is finally loud enough, FINALLY! Richie T could use a blessing, this is his second week in a row of having a voice like a "sickie". Del talks about his inspiration for painting the "Jesus in Red Robes" that is so commonly use throughout the church. He also talks about what he does with his paintings when there is no inspiration. Oh...and I found my teeth. They were broken unfortunately. But worth it for this awesome episode of The Cultural Hall.

We are all hoping that Lauren will take the advice from this podcast and "Get Help" in order to GET MARRIED! ...and here is hoping that I get feeling better so that I don't continue to sound like I should be sitting in a large rocking chair eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

The Cultural Hall Ep. 7/Online Dating | This week on The Cultural Hall we were anticipating visiting with Fictionist, a band from Utah whose members are all Mormon. They were almost on the cover of Rolling Stone and just signed with Atlantic Records. Sadly, they went to do a different ward this week so I (Richie) decided that I would help two of my best friends get married. That's right, now that I am married I am a professional at telling people whats wrong with them and why they are single. (is there a sarcasm button?) However, in this episode I do try and help Lauren and Rob with a little dating advice. I start by going easy on them and by the end I deal it pretty harsh...BUT THEY ASKED ME TO! We also talk about this picture I love the idea of a Testimony Glove. I love what it teaches. I have used this example in the past. However, I think they made a poor choice on the picture for the cover. Something just kinda strikes me as odd or uncomfortable. Leave a comment with your thoughts.

The Cultural Hall Ep. 6/Peter Breinholt | Those who know Richy, know the guy’s a Peter Breinholt fan… But c’mon, did any of us know how deep this crush really went? I, for one, did not. Not until I saw Richy’s face blush when Peter was in the studio, and that dang toothless grin of his never left his face. (Richy decided not to wear his teeth for Peter, and I was a bit confused until I learned Peter prefers Richy without teeth). It was all making sense. Richy and I both agree Breinholts music kept us happy (sane) while we were on our missions. (We talk about it in the podcast, and Peter even shares some insights into why certain LDS music artists can sound so similar). But, when Peter plays the song that both Richy and I listened to while missionaries, I saw Richy get a bit teary-eyed. And then…that is when I learned that this isn’t just a one-sided crush! It was time for Peter to head home, but instead, he looked dreamingly at Richy and asked if he could stay for our third block—The Articles of News. I started to wonder why I was even there. After the show, the two shared another hug, talked future plans, and then…gave each other another hug! (What’s going on here?!?) I figured I’d make myself useful by taking a picture. Which I did. Does Richy not look like he’s in love?! That’s what I thought. Interesting note. The Mission President that Peter references in this story we found out after recording the podcast was President Kohlert...of the Ohio Cleveland Mission 1996-1999.....Richie's First Mission President!

The Cultural Hall Ep. 5/R. Dustin Harding | Pardon our dust! Chalk it up to growing pains. Whatever you need to do to forgive us for the delay on the posting of this episode. We are on the 4th "R" of the Repentance process and though we can't say that it will never happen again, we do promise that we will try REALLY REALLY hard to not do it again. The technical mumbo jumbo is not important, but we liked this episode so much we decided to record it twice. A special thanks to R. Dustin Harding for being willing to come to my "Home Teaching Room" and join us for The Cultural Hall. We forget to ask during the podcast what R. Dustin Harding's favorite part of the gospel is. He said "That it provides us this ability to draw closer to God, that we are able to learn more about him and to have a relationship with him" Also a bit of gratitude goes out to K. Dawn Harding for keeping her husband in line. We hope that you enjoyed your Coldstone Ice Cream after the interview. Enjoy and as always we welcome your feedback.

The Cultural Hall Ep. 4/John Dehlin | You may not recognize the name John Dehlin. But you should. Not just because John took Renee Zellweger to an LDS Church dance (Hear the story in the podcast) but because John is a pioneer in the "Mormon Blogosphere and Podcasting arena." I will site his Wiki entry so I don't have to type it. " In September 2005, after finding reasons to stay a member of the LDS Church, Dehlin created the Mormon Stories podcast as an open discussion of Mormon issues with the intention of giving listeners reasons to remain in the church. Listenership eventually reached over 10,000 downloads per episode. At its height, the show was broadcast on KVNU in Logan, Utah.[13] Gaining notability, Dehlin was quoted in June 2007 for stories by The New York Times and Good Morning America, discussing Mitt Romney and Mormonism. In June 2007, Dehlin started Mormon Matters as a blog and weekly podcast, with the intention of eventually becoming a radio show. The format was a discussion panel on events, culture, politics and spirituality within Mormonism. Panelists were to represent different sides of each issue, although the show later struggled to retain regular conservative LDS panelists. In early 2008, Dehlin converted Mormon Matters into a group blog and lessened emphasis on new podcast episodes. Dehlin resumed the Mormon Matters podcast on March 5, 2011 with Dan Wotherspoon as the host, and Joanna Brooks as a frequent co-host. Dehlin is also the co-founder of the Mormons for Marriage website (a pro-gay marriage site) and Stay LDS, a community dedicated to helping unorthodox Mormons stay in the LDS church if that is their desire." John also has a shady past with "The Cultural Hall." He has been not only a tremendous support to us, but is also one of the reasons it took so dang long for us to get this podcast together. We'll be saving a seat for you on the back row. Richie T and Lauren | 9/2/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

In this episode we find out exactly when he was born, what got him into acting, and his love of baking bread. Seriously. He loves bread and it is awesome to hear him talk about how making bread relates to the gospel. (Think Uchdorf meets Wonder Bakery) We explore the "Devil Beer Commercial" and talk about his upcoming role in "The Three Stooges".

Customer Reviews
Best Show Ever
Once upon a time I was a Mormon, and even as a non-Mormon, this show is super. Richie T is my snuggle bear.
Relevant Richy
Who knew that Richy T had an almost not-so-silly side! All the topics are current, engaging, entertaining and Mormon. Love, Richy's side-squeeze, Claiken
Can't hear it.
I hate low volume podcasts. Please turn up your mic's.
