March was quite the month of breaking news for reality television in Utah, from the premiere of Season 4 of “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” to Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of “The Bachelorette” being cancelled. You also can’t forget about divorces, kissing scandals and filming pauses.

On this “Mormons in Media” and “Mormon Land” crossover podcast episode, Rebbie Brassfield and Nicole Weaver discuss which of the big developments actually tie back to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Does all the drama surrounding Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen, as well as Jessi Draper and Jordan Ngatikaura, have religious undertones? Or is it just drama?

Plus, has the Utah beauty standard gotten out of hand? Season 4 of “SLOMW” revealed some devastating news about what one cast member is going through that needs to be talked about.Will certain things within the church stay black and white or are we entering a grey area?
