Faithful member launches competing Mormon Stories podcast

A faithful Church member has launched a new podcast with the same name as John Dehlin's long-running Mormon Stories Podcast, according to Wheat and Tares. The move comes amid the Church's ongoing trademark litigation against Dehlin's podcast. The blog post characterizes the action as "malicious compliance" with the Church's directive to avoid using "Mormon" in unofficial contexts, though the new podcast uses that exact term.
