Daniel has offered and been asked to do a number of radio interviews. On them, he has had opportunity to talk about our books, travels, and research. But he has also been a guest on a growing number of radio shows and podcasts that deal with supernatural or paranormal topics. Many show hosts have been quite interested in having him on to explain Mormon doctrine on such topics as spirits, life after death, angels, and more. These subjects are quite popular these days and we feel that Latter-Day Saints have some useful information to share. Click the links below to listen to archives of the shows. If you are a host or producer and would like to have Daniel on your show, just e-mail him and he would be happy to speak with you and arrange a time.
