Episode 41 Chocolate Easter Lizards

Standard

Great news guys… Episode 41 is comin at you like all roads that lead to Uncle Rico! (that’s about as glorious as it gets, if you didn’t know)

The New Utah was joined this week by another previous guest from Episode 22 at the Halloween Expo. Tracey Rolfe came back to Utah for her new book release, which is not even released in the UK yet, and for Wizarding Dayz . We recapped the last few months with her and we even got the scoop on her new book, “The White Witch of Spiton and the Curse of Pendle Hill.” It will be hitting Amazon on March 19th but in the mean time check out her other books in this series HERE. We will link on our Facebook at that time. We look forward to skyping Tracey in with us when the final book of the White Witch of Spiton series is released.

Utah’s One thing: Travis Tate

Standard

At the end of every New Utah podcast 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?”

Travis Tate from our episode 12 said that one thing a visitor should do in Utah before leaving is that anyone visiting Utah must get with someone who knows what they are doing and go hiking in the Uinta’s. The amazing views you will get, make sure to take you camera. It’s a good place to just clear you head. Ps. There is NO cell service up there.

Listen to Travis talk about his comedy (yes, he’s a local comedian) and visiting the Uinta’s here:

Ep.12 Chris 2.0 is the *beep*

Standard

This week for Episode 12 Chris, our podministrator, was out and was swiftly replaced with Chris 2.0, AKA the very funny and talented, Travis Tate.

We were fortunate to have Travis sit in as co-host this week and talk about his comedy career here in Salt Lake City. Listen to Travis talk about his creative process, who his favorite comedians are (nationally and locally), and we promise, it ISN’T Dane Cook. We can’t wait to have him back to hear about his upcoming web series! Find him on The Facebook and The Twitter for upcoming events (like Salt Lake Comic Con which he will be a panelist, stay tuned on the SLCC page for schedule) Josh even had a great idea for a future “clean” set… Maybe it *bleep* would work, maybe it *bleep* won’t?

Did you know that West Jordan is fighting to keep the Book of Faces (aka. Facebook) out of the city? After a city council meeting on the 16th, the discussion only became more heated on whether or not a data center for the social media site would be allowed. What do you think? Like or Comment. . .

This weeks events in Utah seep into next week as well! Zoo Brew is happening on the 24th on August but it is SOLD OUT. You might be able to find a ticket on KSL.com and then you can drink and hang out with the animals… you know talk with the animals… learn their languages.

It is also State Fair season! This weekend is the Salt Lake County Fair in South Jordan and The Utah County Fair in Spanish Fork! Demolition derbies, fair food, and animals… oh my! Mmmm fair food….

And it’s that time again… Drag Brunch at ClubX downtown Salt Lake City! Come for brunch and Mimosas/Bloody Marys, and stay for the show! Including our past guest, Indi Skies!

August 19th is the start of the 1st Annual Wasatch International Food Festival at the Utah Cultural Center in West Valley. Don’t even question it. Just go and eat ALL the foods! And coming up next weekend on the 27th, we are forewarning you to get your tickets now, is the City Weekly Utah Beer Festival! This event is being held at the Utah State Fairgrounds. With 150 beers from around the world and proceeds going to the Humane Society, it seems like a win-win don’t you think?

Also a HUGE congrats from the New Utah Podcast to Salt Lake City Mayor Jackie Biskupski on her nuptials this past week! Utah is leaning towards progressive and she is a great example of that in our community!
