General Conference Post Mortem

Radio Free Mormon’s General Conference Post Mortem Reports take a close, thoughtful look at each session of LDS General Conference after the final “amen.”

Every six months, RFM reviews the talks, themes, policy signals, historical context, notable statements, and the things that may deserve a second look. The goal is not to tell anyone what to believe, but to provide careful, independent analysis that helps listeners better understand what was said, what may have changed, and why it matters.

These reports are for everyone willing to engage the material seriously—believing Latter-day Saints, nuanced members, people who are questioning, former members, and anyone interested in Mormonism and LDS culture.

Your donation helps cover the time, research, technology, and production required to create these in-depth reports. Supporting this campaign helps ensure that each General Conference can be examined with context, curiosity, and a willingness to shine a light on the details that might otherwise be missed.

If you value independent analysis and thoughtful conversation around General Conference, please consider supporting the next Post Mortem Report.

Thank you rfm. My wife and I donate to your podcast and mormonism life. All of these efforts should be thanked. Your insights are appreciated and useful. Most of all taking the pain of listening to this long diatribe every six months. Allowing the rest of us not to waste our time as we still have family that we have to work with.

RFM, you always make me laugh! Watching you summarize General Conference is always a lot more entertaining than sitting through it myself. It’s so hard to sit through it myself anymore because I roll my eyes the whole time. You validate my thoughts. I appreciate you for taking your time to watch and analyze General Conference and for sharing your thoughts with us! You are very observant and thoughtful.

As a NeverMo in Utah it took me decades to realize that it was helpful to get a taste of what leaders say at GCs to better understand my neighbors- and just how many decades behind the times the Corporation Sole remains. So I really appreciate your efforts on my behalf too. I had exactly the same reaction to the Wade Christofferson talk: 1) resign already! and 2) secular gambling as the danger and losing bet? How about a lifetime of tithepaying for blessings other leaders' talks justified why they probably won't come to members unless they count really silly coincidences in this life. But they are impossible in an afterlife that is entirely imaginary. We die, and that's it we are dead in the ground. Tithing IMO is extortion and fraud - if it were a secular business. How sad - and maddening. Here is my offering for actual benefits received from your 4 episodes and to let Bill know I too appreciate it.

Thanks for watching conference so I don’t have to! I like knowing what’s going on, but it’s too boring for me to sit through all that. A little traumatic sometimes, too. Thanks RFM!

Great show. Nice to meet you both on the cruise. You should have a land based round up / celebration sometime before the next cruise. Maybe go visit some large city in the West and hang out in some conference center or hotel meeting space for a couple of days. There was a lot going on for the cruise. Thank you for your commentary on the GC sessions.

Watching conference and summarizing it for us is a sacrifice so great it's right there with Jesus dying on the cross for our sins. As a famous movie character said, "you can buy anything in this world with money." Here's a little bit from me so hopefully when combined with donations from others you can buy anything. You're the best!
