Last night I was goofing around on Facebook and live-streamed giving myself a haircut. It was epic. And by “Epic” I mean “quite stupid.” . (What can I say – it as fun – and you can only watch so much TV)
One of my Facebook friends mentioned that I sounded “exactly like I thought you would.”
This surprised me, because I have sporadically posted audio files of my Sunday blog posts, so I figured that anyone who wanted to know what I sound like has already had that opportunity. Apparently not!
Then, this morning, I remembered something: About five years ago, when I was still Middle-aged Mormon Man, I flirted with the idea of starting my own “Bonafide” podcast.
I went as far as to try it out by recording a few samples with my friend, Jeff. The recordings were done without any tech savvy, mediocre equipment, and very little preparation. It is pretty rough, but it was fun.
That said, I figured that since some of you might need something to do, I ought to post one so you can hear what almost was.
So, if you have twenty minutes to kill, take a listen to the podcast that wasn’t, and let me know what you think. I hope you enjoy it. Just click on the play button below, and you can listen right from this webpage.
Stay safe and healthy!

Gosh, you really are American! When I read your posts you’re British in my head.
You have a very soothing voice 🙂
I loved your ancestor story! Was it passed down through your family or did your find it in memories in Family Search? I haven’t had much success but love doing the work. I’m missing the temple so much right now as are so many other saints. Thank you so very much for your articles!!!
I stayed around for almost your whole live haircut session. I was totally envious that it was so easy for you, a guy. I confess I was also watching Hercule Poirot on BritBox at the same time as I watched you cut your hair. Both entertaining.
