  • Public lands discussion

    Just across the border, Idahoans don’t seem to have the same sentiment about transferring lands to the state. Polls show a majority of Idahoans reject the idea due to cost of management and the constitutional obligation Idaho would have to sell the land to maximize profit. I’m curious why according to the poll you stated, the majority in Utah support the transfer of lands, even electing such strong proponents for this view, including the Utah governor, reps and senators.

  • Ever episode

    Overrated !!!

    The host tends to try to lead up to asking the person a question by telling them what it is he wants them to answer in so much detail and then answers the question before he lets the person have a chance to speak. Also, then continues on to say “talk about it.”

    He says, “talk about it”so many times it is irritating!

    I have listened to this podcast over many year but can no long.

    No longer a suscriber.

  • Need to fix Podcast feed

    Update: it seems like the issues I described have been improved. Thank you!

    I love Radio West, It’s very well produced and engaging. However, this podcast feed has some issues. The episodes appear and disappear at random. I save them to my feed and then they get taken off. PLEASE fix these issues! I know the episodes are on their website, but it’s much more convenient to have them on Apple podcasts.
