In this session, Farmer discusses his work, The Sound of Mormonism: A Media History of Latter-day Saints. His book is an annotated and expanded version of the 2023 lecture “Music & the Unspoken Truth”—an homage to the Music and the Spoken Word radio program and a meditation on the relationships between religion, music, vocality, and quietude.

This event is part of ICW’s Fall 2025 Series Worshiping in the American West.
