Joe and Lee Bennion have lived in Spring City, Utah, since 1976. It's an idyllic life in an idyllic town. Their pottery studio, Horseshoe Mountain Pottery, has always been unlocked - in case you want to grab a last-minute gift. But things have changed in the last few years. In 2022, an online activist made wild accusations against the Bennions that include ritualistic abuse and an LDS branch of the Church of Satan. Today on RadioWest, we'll unravel the complicated story.
