Year of Polygamy In 2014, Park founded the
Year of Polygamy podcast, where she details the history of
Mormon polygamy with particular emphasis on the lives and experiences of women. Starting with individual episodes giving biographical sketches of
34 women who were
sealed to
Joseph Smith, it goes on to cover the impact of
plural marriage on the history of
Latter Day Saints in the nineteenth century, and on to the present day continuance of the practice by
Mormon fundamentalists. The podcast was referenced in a
New York Times article on
Leslie Olpin Petersen's
Forgotten Wives series of paintings.
Sunstone podcast In January 2019, Sunstone launched a new family of podcasts. Park has participated in a number of them, both as a guest (reviewing news in Mormonism and introducing Sunstone's equivalent of
Firesides) and as a co-host with Bryan Buchanan covering the Mormon context for topics such as women's work with
refugees,
healing from
abuse, the murder of
Matthew Shepard, how
various Mormon communities can better converse with one another, and history (including the
creation story in Mormonism,
Lucy Mack Smith,
Joseph Smith's siblings,
magic and Mormonism,
Mormon scriptures,
stories from Kirtland, and early “bad boys” in the Mormon movement including
Hiram Page,
Oliver Cowdery, and
William McLellin). ==Blogging==
