Guests range from leaders in business and industry to educators, musicians, and authors to volunteers. All have stories to tell that are interesting, informative, and thought-provoking.
Latter-day Profiles is produced by students in coordination with faculty and staff advisors. That means the students research the guests, schedule the interviews, run the cameras and edit the programs.
BYU-Idaho Communication faculty, Brian Howard, hosts the program and works closely with the students in the production process. Currently, Latter-day Profiles airs Sunday mornings at 8:30 a.m Eastern, 6:30 a.m. Mountain Time on BYUTV. Twenty-eight new episodes are produced every year.

Congratulations on an inspiring program today. It is my first time viewing this program. I am an RN, nursing Instructor,
and also have been involved with assisting some of my international students. I understood what your guest referred to, how the Lord can make so much more of you than than you would have own your own. My work has blossomed into together with other faculty members (on our own time etc) we have begun some projects to assist women and children, that have been abducted by Isis and sold into slavery. As they have escaped, or been rescued, they need physical attention as well as emotional/mental health support. I felt impressed to contact your guest, and ask him questions, from his wide range of experience, especially having been involved with projects to assist women and children in need. Since I felt so strongly impressed to contact him, I am somewhat unsure completely why. But I feel confident that your guest would understand that. Could you please send this message forward to him, along with my contact information, and ask if he would please contact me. Again, I congratulate you on a program that provides profiles of members that inspire, and give examples of living gospel principles in their lives. Please continue your great work!
