Join us today for another re-mastered classic Mormon Stories episode!

This interview with Dr. Michael Coe is one of the most important Mormon Stories episodes to date. In order to introduce this significant conversation to our newer audiences, we have compiled it into a single episode and re-broadcasting it.

The original description for this episode reads,

“Dr. Michael Coe is the Charles J. MacCurdy professor emeritus of Anthropology at Yale University and curator emeritus of the Division of Anthropology at the school’s Peabody Museum of Natural History. He is an expert on the Maya, who inhabited the same part of Mexico and Central American where Mormon scholars say the events of the Book of Mormon took place. In this interview, Coe discusses the challenges facing Mormon archaeologists attempting to prove the historical truth of their central scripture and his own views on Joseph Smith.”

This episode originally aired in August 2011, and was titled “Dr. Michael Coe – An Outsider’s View of Book of Mormon Archaeology” (episodes 268-270). A follow-up conversation was filmed and released in April 2018, which will be re-broadcasted this week as well.
