The Smackdowns: Sacred Cows Make the Best Burgers

Welcome to the Infants on Thrones Smackdowns: where sacred cows meet irreverent Infants, Mormon authority meets inconvenient questions, and absolutely nothing is above a little scrutiny.

From General Authorities and apologetics to scripture, church policy, and Mormon musicals, the Infants take on the things we once held sacred with humor, curiosity, and occasionally spectacularly infantile commentary.

These are the original recordings, handpicked from the Infants on Thrones archive.
