Episode 135 Part 2 of our Annual City Weekly “Best of Utah” Recap

Standard

Welcome to part 2 of our annual City Weekly Best of Utah recap episodes! Episode 132 we covered the staff picks, which we were less opinionated about because we highly agreed. This episode we get a little more heated and vocal on the readers picks.

If you are unfamiliar with how the readers choice works, which sometimes we are as well, they post categories and it is all write in. So readers either have to rack their brains or just be complacent with what they know. We are looking forward to sitting down with the editor to talk about voting demographics and why in the world La Caille shows up so many times. Are that many normal people going to La Caille? And can you take us with you next time?

CITY WEEKLY BEST OF 2018

If you haven’t had a chance to go through the best of’s yet, you can still find it at City Weekly Best of Utah 2018. There is way more in there than we could possibly cover, though we definitely tried. Some of the categories in the readers choice are everything from best podcast (not us), best Utahn (hands down, yes), best news anchors, best visual artist, best tattoo artists, best hiking trails, skate shop, water skiing, best elected official, and then of course there is ALL THE FOOD! We really tried to be pragmatic going through this but have decided there is SO MUCH that is happening in Utah. We couldn’t help but wonder why the same places get voted over and over when there are more choices. Better choices, if we may. Again, questions for the editor!

We are always excited to see some of our favorites such as Ruby Snap, Cat Palmer, Fillings and Emulsions, Bohemian Brewery, Mountain West, Sugarhouse Distillery, and more!

Take a listen and let us know what YOU think about the readers choice and then listen to episode 132 for part 1 of our staff picks review! Again, we thank City Weekly for the honor this year of best “best of” podcast. We thank you for giving us a super fun show to do two times a year (especially the staff picks)!

Episode 132: Part 1 of our Annual City Weekly “Best of” Recap for 2018

Standard

Each year, for the past couple years, we’ve dedicated a couple of episodes to the City Weekly Best of Utah magazine! One show for the staff picks and one show for the reader picks.

Episode 132 we went through the staff picks and picked out some of our favorites and what we thought they might be missing. We’ve said it before, but one of our most favorite parts is that the editors take the time to do a humorous write up on what they are writing about, also with a hilarious title.

For example, this year we got best “best of” from editor Enrique Limon (which we are eternally grateful): The New Utah Podcast 
Putting together this annual issue can be a grueling task. Is anyone out there paying attention or are we just flinging copy and pictures into the void in hopes that some business owner instagrams they won Best Original Welcome Mat? Luckily for us curmudgeonly editorial folks, we know at least four people are paying close attention—Jessica Richardson, Chris Burch, Jeremy Gates and Bre Hollingsworth, who for the past two years have dedicated not one, but two episodes (one for editorial picks and one for readers’ choice) to this, the golden plates of Utah awesomeness. Will they agree with this year’s pick for Best Utahn? Will they grill us for our selection of Best Penis Envy? Stay tuned to find out. (EL) 

Yes, indeed we did grill them for selection of Best Penis Envy. We were really excited this year to see so many of our past guests make it in! Stay tuned for round 2 in a couple weeks where we go into readers picks!

Best “Best of” Podcast in Utah: City Weekly Best of Utah 2018

Standard

WHAT THE!! YOU GUYS WE WON!

We want to thank Enrique Limon, editor at City Weekly, for recognizing The New Utah Podcast this year as the 2018 “Best Best of Podcast” in their staff picks section under “things.” We may have not gotten the popular vote, but being recognized by the magazine and editors that create these categories is such an honor! We are incredibly humbled and of course stoked!

This particular winning made us all giggle because each show we talk about how we never create “best of” episodes of our past shows. And here we are, being recognized for being Best Best Of, but just in a better way!

It’s a highlight of our year going through the City Weekly Best of Utah (2017pt.1/2017pt.2 and 2016). This will be our third year doing our episode with our personal favorites in the magazine! Stay tuned for that episode, we want to give some time for it to get around the valley before we put in our two cents!

Thanks to everyone that DID vote for us in the readers choice, we appreciate your support more than we could ever vocalize!

Now you’ve pulled up that magazine or picked one up, keep it in your car and challenge yourself to try new things through Utah over the next year!

 

Episode 115 Field trip to the Farmers Market

Standard

We feel fortunate that we get to venture out in to our community and meet awesome people! This weeks episode is extra special. We always talk about how amazing the downtown Salt Lake farmers market is and a few of us have been, but this week we were all able to take a field trip to the market together! We touched base and interviewed some of the vendors on how this season is going! We also had some time again with Alison, the market director, to talk about the Tuesday Harvest market that started on the 7th! And of course we ate some great food and had some coffee from some of our favorites!

You can now visit the market two times a week; Tuesdays at Pioneer Park 4-dusk as a smaller more intimate food only market (until September) and Saturdays is the regular the full market Pioneer park from 8-2pm.

 

Also, it’s that time of year again. We would love to see a vote for the BEST PODCAST on the City Weekly Best of 2018 list!! We know we are up against the giant Geek Show Podcast (which we love and support) but your votes mean the world! Also there are tons of awesome guests we’ve had that you can write in like our friends at WaterPocket Distillery for best spirit, Sugar House Distillery for best Distiller, Mountain West Cider for best hard cider, and Talisman Brewery for best brewery!!
