About this listen

Latter-day Saints are a people of radical faith. Their tradition is one in which angels visit everyday people and sometimes men and women see the divine in stones. In this podcast we examine the lived religion of Latter-day Saints, the stories we tell, and the beliefs we debate. Join Christine and Chris Blythe, professional folklorists and LDS converts who openly profess their faith while exploring the traditions of their chosen people.

While this is no longer a common practice in the 21st century, stories of the practice continue to the present. Have you ever met a Latter-day Saint missionary who dusted their feet against one of their persecutors?
