New Podcast Series: Mormon Expression Voices

Personal conversations about all things Mormon. This short promo audio clip explains the concept. And John and Zilpha demonstrate how it’s done in Episode One. I like this.

This could be fun. Here’s how to sign up. Read more [...]

In 2010, he also released a solo album entitled Flamingo. In late 2001, Brandon Flowers responded to an ad that Dave Keuning had placed in a local paper and they formed The Killers. Since then, Brandon has performed with Bruce Springsteen, U2, Coldplay, Pet Shop Boys, Lady Gaga, Fran Healy (of Travis), Andy Summers (of The Police), Read more [...]
