Welcome to Our Open Tabs
Join two internet friends as they deep dive into the random topics that have them opening up a million tabs right now... and somehow the conversation always ends up back at Mormonism. Even though neither of them have every been Mormon. Come for the gossip and research, stay for the pettiness, as Jess and Mara discuss pop culture, news, religion, history, and whatever other random topics strike their fancy.
