My guest today is Michelle Stone, host of the podcast 132 Problems: Revisiting Mormon Polygamy. We spoke about Michelle's experience of raising an unusually large family (even by Mormon standards!) and why women who want to have a lot of children are typically motivated by a feeling of spiritual purpose. We also spoke about the controversial history of polygamy within Mormonism, why polygamy was such a vexed political question in nineteenth century America, and why polygamy tends to have destructive effects on societies.
