  • Hard-hitting and smart while being pleasant and entertaining

    This podcast gives a great overview of the current issues facing Salt Lake City, as well as all of the events and happenings of the week. I’m not usually a local news guy — I don’t like being pumped up with irrational fear. That’s not what this podcast is about.

  • Local flavor

    Love having a local news source in podcast form. Wish they didn’t also push other random podcasts on the feed.

  • Informative and helpful

    Great show, taught me a lot of great resources about my new city. Love the restaurant, bar, and shopping recommendations in particular. Accessible hosts that are fun to listen to and have great takes. Knocked a star off for all the spam oprah podcast “features” (seriously, it feels like oprah pops up in my podcast queue every week cuz of this show).

  • Far-left nonsense

    They’ve got some good local commentary when it happens to be a non-political issue, but for the most part they are pushing the extremist religion of leftism.

  • So pleasant, careful with the pushiness though

    I like this podcast. Ali does a great job and it’s fun to hear her chat with Emily. That being said, I understand you need members, but four separate membership pushes in a single episode is just too much. You have paid advertisers and other funding, so give people a break from the pushy pushes. Especially in this economy.
