Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 15 ratings
  • Why less of Jeff?

    I am a big fan of Jeff Caplan’s afternoon news. It is both informative and entertaining. Jeff’s “Minute Of News” is always fascinating.

    The 3 stars are only because we are getting less and less of Jeff on the podcast. Until recently, all 4 hours of the show were available via podcast. Then they started podcasting a small portion of the show. The last couple of days only the 5 minute updates at the top and bottom of the hour have been made available.

    Yes, you hear the same stories several ... more

  • don't miss a day!

    Jeff's delivery and personality isn't the only reason to listen, but it's one of the better ones. National news from Maria Shilaos, local from Sandy Collins and KSL's team of reporters, traffic and weather on the 9's... it's everything you need.
