PRESS COVERAGE AND REVIEWS
The Center for Latter-day Saint Arts
"There are any number of LDS podcasts out there, but Pop Culture on the Apricot Tree is different. Most LDS podcasts focus on LDS topics and concerns (e.g., gospel scholarship). This one takes a different approach and addresses things that are not LDS. It focuses on pop culture products, specifically movies, TV series, and the occasional book, but discusses them from an LDS perspective. The resulting conversations are dynamic, interesting, and imbued with an LDS sensitivity."
The Association for Mormon Letters
"...The question of what it means for literature to be “for” Mormons, i.e., what it means to engage with something as a Mormon audience, has sometimes been harder to grasp. The creators of Pop Culture on the Apricot Tree turn that question on its side, by instead asking: What if everything was made for us? The hosts and guests never claim to speak for all Mormons, but their project inherently presupposes that Mormonism (our doctrine, culture, and values) is a worthy lens through which to view and analyze all media."
