KUER's RadioWest aired a discussion examining who has the right to use the term "Mormon" and the Church's trademark dispute with Mormon Stories Podcast, according to the station's website. The episode explored the legal and cultural questions surrounding control of the Mormon name.

The Church has sought to move away from the term "Mormon" in recent years, asking members and media to use its full name. At the same time, the institution has pursued trademark enforcement against organizations using "Mormon" in their names, including the Mormon Stories litigation.

The conversation comes as the trademark case continues in federal court.
