Episode 147 It’s much too Cold with Dave Cawley

Standard

We are fortunate to get to talk to other Utah podcasters. It gives a great perspective of what each of us are experiencing as we broadcast to the great unknown! And after all, we are all in this together, right?

Episode 147 we had the honor to sit down and talk with host, Dave Cawley, of the podcast sensation Cold.

We didn’t want to bring Dave in to rehash his episodes of Cold. After 18 episodes and three grueling years of research, we wanted to talk to Dave about why he decided to invest the time to share Susan’s story. We wanted to know what it was like being a radio personality moving into podcasting without knowing how people are really going to react. We also wanted to know about moving from behind the scenes as a reporter to being thrust into a spotlight. Truly, we just wanted to sit down and talk with him out of much respect for what he has been doing the last three years as an investigative journalist in the Utah community. One of the many things we loved about talking to Dave is that he made it very clear he is open to having thoughtful and respectful debate about the case. Even though his theories are changing and have changed since the research started, it goes without saying that Dave’s life has been changed by doing this podcast.

The Cold Podcast has become a place of activism against domestic abuse for both Dave and for his listeners. Dave has made the pledge above to make sure that those in Susan’s shoes can take them off and run, and Dave has offered these steps in acknowledging abuse in friends and family members. First believe. Listen to what they are saying and believe them. Second, validate and third direct them to the proper resources such as the Utah Domestic Violence Coalition or the National Domestic hotline (links below)

Utah’s One Thing: Sim Gill, Salt Lake County DA. Part 1

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 126 we had the fortunate opportunity to sit down with Salt Lake County’s District Attorney, Sim Gill. Sim said, “we are lucky to have access to the most beautiful mountain trails.” Mr. Gill said it is so easy to lose yourself in nature. There is an abundance of natural beauty. We have attached a link to ALLTRAILS. They also have a app that lets you rate, see the difficulty, and photos of trails throughout Utah!

Episode 145 Provost Park Pass and Disney magic

Standard

Episode 145 we were joined by previous guest, Chris Provost, and this time he brought his super spectacular wife, Amanda, to talk about their massively growing YouTube channel, Provost Park Pass!

Provost Park Pass is a vlogging (we had to add that word to our dictionary) insider look at facts, tidbits, and tours at the happiest place on earth, Disneyland! We wanted to know with all of the Disneyland resources that are out there, what made Amanda and Chris decide to start Provost Park Pass? Also, what makes Provost Park Pass BETTER and different than all the others? We are a little biased, but we think it’s because they are 1000 percent excited and passionate about what they are doing. Oh, and it helps that they have super rad personalities to go with it.

Whether you have a love or a hate relationship with the Disneyland park, everyone has a story. Chris and Amanda share with us where their passion for Disneyland came from. We wanted to know why Utahn’s love Disneyland so much. We got Amanda to share with us her experience with fake Disney “beer” (aka Gaston’s Famous Brew) and Disneyland security. We also gave her a tip of what to do next time, you know… if it happens again. What does Provost Park Pass offer for your upcoming Disneyland trip? Provost Park Pass is your passport for discovering each land, history behind the rides, best foods, insider info on the hotels, best souvenirs, best bathrooms, how to survive Disneyland with a toddler, what to do if you don’t want to ride the rides, and even the best drinking fountains! That is just a smidgen of what they’ve covered over the past year! Even if you simply love Disneyland, watching their vlogs bring a bit of joy into your day with all the fun facts they have. Especially if you’re missing that Disney magic! Of course, a visit from Chris wouldn’t be complete without his famous dad jokes! Check out how he does it throughout Disneyland with cast members!

You can follow Chris, Amanda, and their team on their Disney adventures on Facebook, Instagram, and of course subscribe to their YouTube Channel!

Episode 136 New Laws. New Utah.

Standard

Welcome to 2019!! We made it!

Thanks for all who tuned in this past year and have supported us along the way. 2018 was awesome and we cannot wait for this year and what it brings for us and for Utah! We love doing the New Utah Podcast for you!

We started the year by talking about the repercussions that the government shut down has on Utah. If you’ve been living under a rock, the government has been shut down now since December 22nd. If you have listened to our show, you know that our guests LOVE the national parks in Utah. Zions has been running on volunteers and others barely eeking by and Bryce is still opened as well. Other things effected by the shut down in Utah include but aren’t limited to; funding to the tribes throughout Utah, road maintenance, WIC, 200+ forest service employees, and the parks being closed trickles down to local businesses that depend on that tourism.

It is also of note, the new laws that take effect for 2019. Of course we all know about the new drinking and driving law. There are other laws that are new for Utah as well and we covered just a few of them for you.

Also, in case you were wondering, we were wrong. The visitor center at the Kennecott Copper Mine is set to reopen spring of 2019 after the major landslide. However, keep up with Rio Tinto’s social media and with VisitUtah.Org for updates because the last news was the mine was still shifting and they were concerned about the opening date.

Episode 102 Behind the Scenes of the SLC Downtown Farmers Market

Standard

We know that you always hear Jessica talk about going to the Downtown Salt Lake Farmers market religiously. This week we were so elated to have market director, Alison Einerson, give us the in’s and out’s and some insight to the upcoming summer market, which will be starting up on June 9th in Pioneer park! Alison’s love for the market comes from a very pure past where she learned how to can like her grandmother and grow an appreciation for gardening when she was younger. Alison was teaching canning classes and then found herself as the director of the Downtown Farmers market/Urban Food Connections of Utah with the Downtown Alliance.

There is something enriching in learning about the history of something you patronize or are passionate about. The Downtown Salt Lake Farmers market started 27 years ago as a revitalization project with just a few vendors such as; Tagge’s Orchard, Jensen Farms, Borski Organic Farms, and Daniels Farms. *those originals are still part of the market today* Social media didn’t exist and Alison explained to us it was very grassroots, door to door, “please come and do this market with us.” They have worked over the years to develop relationships with vendors to build the farmers market to what it is today. Throughout the year the Downtown Farmers Market is out touring the local orchards, the farms, and the kitchens to make sure that the locally sourced food being provided is top notch! The Downtown Salt Lake Farmers market is not only kale and tomatoes (if in season). For shoppers there are local vendors from a 250 mile radius that include; bakeries with pastries, cheese makers, non-profits, coffee makers, kombucha and ginger beer, skin care products, artisans of all types, salsa makers, bread makers, food booths to eat immediately, and so much more! They keep a list of who will be where on their website which you can visit HERE and then clicking vendor map.

Alison explained when choosing vendors for the market they are always looking for people who are unique and innovative. We were able to chat about how the market handles the homeless population in the park, and their future endeavor of a year round indoor market which will be west of the Rio Grande building. *which will soon have a crowd-funding campaign* This year was the first year that the winter market, which just completed its season, ran every weekend at the Rio Grande. Not only is the Downtown Alliance and the SLC Downtown Farmers Market working to bring locally sourced food to your plate, they are also working on educating and encouraging people who want to grow micro-farms and urban farms, as well as teaching people how to eat seasonally.

This year Pioneer Park is under construction, so there will be some slight differences. This won’t change what you can expect on June 9th through October which will be the same amazing pastries, pizza dough, drinks, locally sourced goods such as Olio Skin and Beard, Salsa Del Diablo, The Chocolate Conspiracy, and artists like Kat Martin who will be returning for another partial season. If you are worried about parking on the street or cannot find any, there is free parking at the Gateway Outdoor Mall. *Visit the market booth for your validation.*

Make sure to head to the website www.slcfarmersmarket.org/ where you can see what is in season and at the market as well as upcoming events. Please follow them on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for up to date information!

**Disclaimer** Bring your own bags. (Select Health does have a booth where they hand out really cute re-usable bags, in case you forget) Make sure you head to the market early in the morning, your chances for things like Bubble and Brown Bakery will be more likely to not be sold out! Plus, it’s a lot cooler and less crowded first thing.

This summer we will be doing some Facebook live video tours to keep you are up to date with what is happening around the market!

Episode 72 Talk Your Crazy with Ry from the Sky

Standard

IT’S HERE! This weekend is the 2nd Annual Halloween Expo and we are excited to be part of it again!

What do you get when you mix three water signs with a fire sign?

Last year at this time we had Ryan Butterfield with us representing the Halloween Expo as one of the producers. This year we invited him to talk about his brand new website and his new venture into readings and as a reiki master. Ryan walked us through the technical terms of a psychic vs. medium. Ryan shared with us some experiences he had over the years that have encouraged him to pursue honing his gift as a medium. We learned that pet reiki exists. Ryan has recently launched a website, RyFromTheSky, and has plenty of events booked the next few weeks, including the Halloween Expo, which he will be making an appearance with M&L Paranormal Investigations.

Ryan is available for events, parties, and personal readings. Ryan did take some time to read us, for as much as you can in an hour with 4 people!

For what it’s worth, he does NOT want to be your life coach.

We are still wondering… how does one leave a 3 year old behind in a corn maze and not realize it til 12 hours later? We took some time to discuss this madness. Yes, this little Utah story has officially made national news. *hanging head in shame*
