Listener sentiment
Listener sentiment for Talking Scripture is overwhelmingly positive, with the vast majority of recent reviewers describing it as their go-to Come, Follow Me study companion. Listeners consistently praise the complementary dynamic between hosts Mike Day and Bryce Dunford — Mike's scholarly "geek-out" dives into historical, linguistic, and cultural context paired with Bryce's modern spiritual application — and many say the show has deepened their testimony, improved their own gospel teaching, and in some cases helped them stay engaged with church when they were drifting away. A handful of recurring critiques surface across the review window: a few long-time listeners feel the balance has tilted toward Bryce dominating the conversation, some wish episodes stayed more tightly anchored to the assigned Come, Follow Me scriptures rather than ranging into tangential passages, and occasional complaints touch on episode release timing and website show-note accessibility. The few lowest ratings come from non-LDS listeners who felt the podcast's denominational affiliation wasn't clear enough upfront. On the whole, the show commands remarkable loyalty and enthusiasm from its target audience, with criticisms representing a small minority of the review base.
