  • Heidimess
    The best of the best
    I am inspired every time I hear the speeches selected for this podcast.
  • TheLonePigeon
    Please get rid of the intro
    I love these old speeches. Some are golden but some are real boring. Hit and miss. The intro is absolutely annoying
  • abeardneglected
    Get rid of the intro/outro
    I used to listen to these regularly, but I’ve lost interest as I can’t stand the introduction and outro. I find it unnecessary and repetitive, especially if you listen to two episodes in a row. I know what I just clicked on - no need to tell me I’m listening to the Classic BYU speeches podcast. And there’s something about that woman’s voice…
  • The u o
    Great insights
    These are wonderfully presented and packaged classics of Religious teaching by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I’m grateful to start my day by listening to these treasures.
  • Jennie Moss
    This is the best
    Amazing podcast selection and thoughtful God centered messages. Thank you. 🤍
  • wmayfield243
    Please add the speakers name
    It’s wonderful to have access to these talks. If I’m listening and can’t look at the app, I don’t know who is speaking. In the intro before the talk starts can you announce the speaker, the date and the name of the talk?
  • LuvWSJ
    Fantastic! Now, would you please add a Kimball talk?
    I love these podcast collections! However, I have a special favor. Would you please add The Second Century of Brigham Young University by Spencer W. Kimball? As you may know, Elder Holland referenced this talk this past Monday. Thank you! You all rock!!
  • TS Pod Enthusiast
    Best Podcast
    I listen and re-listen to these podcasts. No better way to spend time in the car.
  • nickname taken 34120
    Can you play
    Neal Maxwell - if thou endure it well
  • Lovemachine886
    Love these blasts from the past talks
    Love listening to talks from the past but the sound quality isn’t the greatest. I have turn up the volume in my car quite a bit.
  • JonathanForsyth
    Wonderful
    I love it! I recommend one needed correction: the podcast titled “Gifts of the Spirit for Hard Times” by Henry B. Eyring is incorrectly labeled. The audio is actually Elder Dallin H. Oaks’ address to a BYU Women’s Conference on March 1st, 1986 titled “Spiritual Gifts”
  • Jgriffin107
    Blessing
    Thank you for providing such a great blessing to me in my life. GREAT podcast of speeches.
  • dreese3
    Awesome experiences!
    Excellent talks. What a way to be uplifted and strengthened in whatever situation you are in. These are worth listening to and repeating. They gave great spiritual insights for our joy and happiness here on the earth. They are the Word of the lord thru his appointed servants. Thanks
  • owkhs
    Love the talks, don’t like the recently added music...
    I love the podcasts. I’ve listened to so many of the talks. I do not love the added music at the beginning and over the top of the endings of the talks. It’s louder than the podcast itself and doesn’t fit. Please remove the music and go back to just the talk/speech. That’s why I subscribed to the podcast in the first place!
  • Gazelam
    Incredible Resourse
    I love these talks. The older the better. Please keep posting such gems as Matthew Cowley and others. A real treasure trove of wisdom, insight, and spirituality
  • Lhamner3
    Source of Inspiration
    Great talks and source of inspiration!
  • HI boy in TX
    Faith-promoting, inspiring, awesome
    Thank you for this podcast. Just one suggestion: more Jeffrey R. Holland, LeGrand Richards, Sheri Dew, and Gordon B. Hinckley
  • celestelind
    Thank you!
    Thank you SOOOOO much for compiling these! You make my one hour drive to work (each way) not only go by faster, but an inspiring experience, rather than drudgery!
  • Bbettily
    Need more
    They stopped sending out episodes
  • FullRabb
    Fascinating
    These are really good and span the last 60 years. Even more interesting from today’s perspective.
  • jonnylingo
    Fix the miss matched names/talks please
    Titles don't match actual talk.
  • LDSJP
    I love the talks, but have a question.
    How come some of the talks are listed as given by a certain church leader, but are actually from another? There was one which was listed as a talk by President Hinckley, but it was actually a completely different talk given by Elder Holland. This inconsistency is troubling. I think ACCURATE descriptions of the ACTUAL talk that is being given would make this 5 stars. I appreciate the service, but not knowing what talk I am actually listening to is frustrating. If you could fix this, it would really be helpful.
  • TheMormonReviewer
    Great Podxast
    I love listening to these speeches!
  • eternal bhakta
    Why did you remove most classic speeches?
    Joseph F. Smith's, Jon M. Huntsman's and so forth. Why the selfishness?
