Daniel on an LDS radio show this Sunday

Daniel has been in touch with Van Hale, host of the Mormon Miscellaneous Talk Show on K-TALK 630 AM and has been invited to be his guest this Sunday. The show airs 26 August at 5:00 pm, Mountain Standard time. It should be an interesting time as Daniel will be talking about our new book and a lot of the research that went into it. Also, expect somewhat of preview of the topic he will be sharing at this year's Book of Mormon Archaeological Forum's conference in October.

Be sure to tune in. If you are not in Utah, the show can be accessed from the station's website.
