Episode 34 Taking a ride on the Ativan…

Standard

The New Utah Podcast met up this week with an old friend, local author David J. West. We met at the Halloween Expo in October and we’re so excited to have him on this week to talk about his new book, “Scavengers (A Porter Rockwell Adventure)” which is being released on January 24th through Amazon. (but you can pre-order now!) David even has a special running next week for the release of Scavengers!! (which you’ll just have to listen to get your deal)  From Montana, to Los Angeles, settling in Utah. David has found a passion and knack for writing historically based western, sci-fi, fantasy and horror (not whore) books! The new release focuses on local Utah favorite, Porter Rockwell!!

Utah’s One Thing: Steve Conlin of Ogden’s Own

Standard

At the end of every New Utah interview we like to ask our guests, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”

Steve Conlin of Ogden’s Own said in episode 26 that Utah is not just one thing. You need to do what you’re interested in. If you ski, ski… if you hike, hike… get out and enjoy Utah. Steve says It is so much more diverse that people give Utah credit for. Go to drag brunch!!!
