{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Architecture of Abuse","slug":"architectureofabuse","podcastDescription":"Architecture of Abuse explores the widespread issue of child sexual abuse in Utah, with a particular focus on how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has historically responded to reports of abuse within its community. Through the lens of veteran attorney Tim Kosnoff’s decades-long career representing survivors, and in conversation with clinical therapists, sociologists, historians, journalists, and researchers, some of whom are active LDS members, we examine the cultural, institutional, and historical forces that enable silence and protect abusers.\n\nWe aim to equip listeners with a deeper understanding of the scope of this issue, and how abuse can be properly prevented and addressed, while offering support and resources for survivors—including information about legal representation. Rooted in compassion and a call for accountability, this podcast invites listeners—especially members of the LDS Church—to be part of the movement for meaningful change.\n\n⚠️ This podcast contains discussions about child sexual abuse. Please listen with care.\n💡 All views expressed are opinions only and do not constitute legal advice.\n\nHosts | Alyssa Grenfell and Tim Kosnoff \nExecutive Producers | Lindsay Hansen Park and Eric W. Phillips \nProduced, Edited, Mixed, Sound Design, Social Media | Lizzy Bean \nProduction & Research Assistance, Fact Checking | Emily Sellers","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/20605320/AoALogo_2048.png","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/20605320/AoALogo_2048_1200x628.jpg?s=cbdf30c7195f8cace72faa9d0ffcb6fa&e=png","podcastUrl":"https://architectureofabuse.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://architectureofabuse.com/feed.xml","theme":"podisc","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-223i4-13a6988?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":9,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-07:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-7,"text":"(GMT-07:00) Mountain Time (US & Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/Denver"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":7,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/user-css.podbean.com/20605320/podisc/style.css","androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Architecture of Abuse","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-223i4-13a6988-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/architecture-of-abuse/id1816319575","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"YouTube","link":"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLG2rWk0N2smpOHrfjmsHGOTMhhixIWaw0","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/youtube_logo.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-223i4-13a6988?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/2NdR9oh1Vmbhfyey4bXCuz?si=Dwkk2aFKTG2gJf35p7Afsw","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/af1acfcb-2003-4cae-b4d9-f4a895667629/architecture-of-abuse","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://iheart.com/podcast/277299162/","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/3673629","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Listen Notes","link":"https://lnns.co/2pKzZc68f3B","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/ListenNotes.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"dark"},{"id":"Font","val":"Industrial"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Lato"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#FFCE00"},{"id":"Favicon","val":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/tij0ye0p7ac128ma/AoA_MediumText.png"},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"show"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
