Utah’s One Thing: Su, Ron, and Bernie, of Summum

Standard

Since we started our show in 2016, we have been asking our guests at the end of every New Utah interview, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”

Episode 184 we took a field trip to the Summum Pyramid in Salt Lake City and had a chat with Su, Bernie, and Ron. When we asked them what the one thing someone should do when visiting Utah is, Ron and Bernie both warmly said visit Summum! Su said that you should go hiking. We agree with both! Here’s a link to one of our favorite websites, Utah.com, for some hiking suggestions.

We were honored to have caretaker of the Clubhouse on South Temple, Jessie Jude Gilmore, join us for episode 178 to talk about the grant they were up for from Partners in Preservation: Main Streets campaign hosted by National Geographic. The building is known for being Salt Lake’s very own Ladies Literary Club. And yes, they did win the grant!

We asked Jessie what her one thing she would tell someone visiting Utah that they must do before leaving, and she told us to go up past Pine View reservoir and find yourself at Causey reservoir and cliff jump! She said, recognize that you are in nature.

Utah’s One Thing: Jeff Dillon, Musician

Standard

Since we started our show in 2016, we have been asking our guests at the end of every New Utah interview, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”

Jeff Dillon, local Utah musician, sat down with us for episode 164. Jeff told us that the one thing that he would tell someone visiting that they had to do depends on a couple factors. He said that he has buddies coming through town all the time, you know other fancy musicians, and he takes them to places like the Olympic Park (open year round), to the Great Salt Lake to “see how shitty it is,” to the Heavy Metal Shop, the Pie Hole, and to dive bars! Jeff said he likes to take people to bars to show them our bizarre Utah laws!!

Utah’s One Thing: Front Row Film Roast/CrowdSourced Comedy

Standard

Since we started our show in 2016, we have been asking our guests at the end of every New Utah interview, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”

Episode 154 we had the cast of the Front Row Film Roast/ CrowdSourced Comedy join us for a roaring good time! We asked Jessica, Andrew, Trevor, and Craig what the one thing the would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving! Here are there answers.

Andrew said that there is so much here but because others have mentioned national parks, etc. Andrew said to go to the Avenues! There is no rhyme or reason behind the style of homes and also in the Avenues is the Salt Lake Cemetery. It’s on a hill you can see all the city and the history connected to Utah.

Craig said, yes it sounds cliché for him to say, but if you are in Utah in the month of June go to Utah’s pride festival! SLC is unique because it has one of the most dense LGBTQ+ populations because a lot of people flock to the state because it is a place to belong.

Jessica said it depends on what you enjoy but her one thing to do in Utah, is to go to Cedar City and take in the Shakespeare Festival! It goes from June to October!

Trevor said his one thing is to go to the restaurant Five Alls, but our Jessica squashed his hopes and dreams by telling him it had recently closed. He then said, go to F***n Arches!

Utah’s One Thing: Dave Cawley, Cold Podcast Host

Standard

Since we started our show in 2016, we have been asking our guests at the end of every New Utah interview, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”

We had the honor of sitting down for episode 147 with local podcaster and investigative journalist, Dave Cawley, of The Cold Podcast. We asked Dave what his one thing, he would tell someone visiting Utah, they had to do before leaving would be. Dave told us it was complicated to tell us the why, but he told us he loves Utah’s back country. Dave also told us he hates talking about it because he hate’s what people do it and he wants to keep it sacred. So he stopped talking about his favorite places. We respect that.

Dave did tell us that the one thing someone should do when visiting Utah would be to drive to Torrey, Utah. He said go down Highway 12 to Hole in the Rock Road to Kodachrome in Bryce Canyon and over to Zion. Utah.com always has great information about locations like Kodachrome!

He said spring and summer it is just an awesome place to go make a fire and have s’mores. *don’t forget to follow seasonal fire restrictions*

Amanda told us that her one thing she would have someone visiting Utah would be to 100% go to the mountains. Amanda said go snow-shoeing or hike. She said it just makes you grounded being in them.
