From Mormonism to Social Media Sensation - A Conversation with Lindsay Van Allen, Host of the City Cast Boise Podcast and Tik Tok Persona Socialistly Awkward

Lindsay Van Allen constantly speaks her mind in the public arena, but not without preparation, an attribute we should all try harder to obtain these days. She is the host of the City Cast Boise Podcast and as such she discusses some of the most controversial issues affecting Boise and Idaho. She also skewers politicians and bigots on various social media platforms such as Tik Tok, Twitter and Instagram where she has the following of over 200,000 listeners. However, Lindsay has an interesting story to tell of the time before she was so well known and informed. In this episode of the IdaHistory Conversations Podcast, we talk about growing up Mormon in rural Idaho and how she came to rebel against the practices of a religion that did not represent her and Mormon women everywhere. She used history, in part, to liberate her mind from what she'd been taught her entire life and in the process, became the advocate for truth and justice she is today.
