April 22, 2025: “The Nuts and Bolts of a Podcast: The Benefits and Struggles of Creating and Producing a LDS Podcast in Today’s World”

April 8, 2025 By LDSPMA

With Scott Brandley & Alisha Coakley

Tuesday, April 22, 2025, 7:00-8:30 pm Mountain Time

Register to AttenD (FREE)

Scott Bio: Scott grew up in Southern Alberta, Canada, and made his way to Utah after serving a mission in Cape Town, South Africa. Not long after, he teamed up with his dad to launch an online business selling LDS products before shifting gears to co-found a successful software company. His wife, Darla, isn’t entirely convinced he actually works—but the paychecks seem real enough.

In 2014, Scott was called to serve as a Bishop in Ogden, a role he dedicated himself to for over five years. During that time, he felt inspired to write a book to help others strengthen their faith. These days, he teaches Gospel Doctrine, perfects his golf swing, and soaks up as much family time as possible with his wife and four kids.

Alisha Bio:

Alisha was born in Michigan, raised in Florida, and after some time in Utah and Nevada, finally planted roots in Texas! She’s a proud momma to three cute kiddos, three lazy cats, and one chicken of a dog—all of whom she adores “smothering with her mothering.”

Passionate about serving others, staying busy, and bringing joy and beauty to the world, Alisha pours her energy into every role she takes on. She is the Owner and Operator of a historic event venue, Co-Host of the Latter-Day Lights Podcast, an aspiring author, a Temple Ordinance Worker, Self-Reliance Facilitator, and Compassionate Services Leader.

While her self-proclaimed “Shiny Syndrome” keeps things interesting, she’s determined to stay the course—striving every day to become the person Heavenly Father needs her to be.

From the Writer's Toolbox: Thematic Purpose

By Alice M. Batzel – Having a theme can provide a vital constructive framework and anchor in all genres yet still allow the artist’s voice to be creative, authentic, and unique. It’s also applicable to music composition and performance, vocal performance, film production, visual art, graphic design, and marketing.
