Episode 308 – Airplane Bathrooms

Standard

Our guest was unable to come but is already rescheduled!  So, this week we’re going to wrap up our review of City Weekly’s Best of 2021 (part II) this week.

Jeremy does math to figure out Chris and I have been doing the podcast for almost as long as we’ve been a couple.  Then we do some personal planning that is quite thrilling and talk about the lifting of the Federal travel mask mandate, there’s a lot of pee talk and we discuss the reclassified COVID endemic.  Chris talks about his new lunchtime getaway and the loot he’s gotten and shared. 

BEE UPDATE: As promised, Jeremy gives us an update on the bees after last week’s snowstorm. He checked on them all week and the bees were protecting the queen and on the 16th Jeremy discovered the queen is out and after that the bees have been out and about looking for food sources.

If you felt something that was like an earthquake and are in the Salt Lake and Tooele valley area, the Tooele Army Depot was ‘blowing shit up!”  Bre is disappointed that she didn’t get to see the small helicopter crash at Airport II.

KJZZ

We start with Media & Politics and are reminded that many of the 2021 picks are COVID related and/or influenced.  We move along to Arts & Entertainment and finish up with Goods & Services.  For Restaurants, Food & Drink and Nightlife, go listen to episode 295, Floppy Fries.

I was excited to learn that Dave Cawley with Cold put out another investigative, unsolved murder podcast about Joyce Yost.  Senator Mike Lee wind both Best Political Scandal and Worst Utahn and we feel both were greatly earned.  I also learned that Traeger is a local company, who knew?! (Don’t tell me if you did).  Please listen to hear about our thoughts and opinions along with our personal alternatives to some of the places listed.

Episode 252 – Pea Talk

Standard

This week on The New Utah Podcast, Bre writes a half-assed blog for TNUP, Jessica is missing from the podcast because she’s doing her side gig (working on cakes, for those new to our podcast).

Chris and I have been out a about a bit during COVID but haven’t really made time to go on a date, so we had a night out starting with dinner at Sapa and ending with games at Dave & Busters.  This says it all, there was a line at least 20 deep waiting to get in when they opened at 5pm and it was still there when we left at 6:30pm.  Totally worth the wait and as a bonus, Fillings and Emulsions provides desserts!

Jeremy provides the first Urban Farming update of the season.  Apparently, it’s time to plant your potatoes, peas, and other root vegetables.  Get your little plot ready and head to IFA for seeds!

Demolished Salt Lake Podcast

Our guest this week is Wendi Pettett, formerly of Preservation Utah (Episode 175 – 10/1/2019) and now working on her own podcast, Demolished Salt Lake.  After Wendi was laid off from Preservation Utah because of COVID, she ran across a Twitter account for Demolished Chicago and decide Utah needed one.  With her background from Preservation Utah, she started an Instagram where she put up pictures of great historic buildings that have been demolished and told a little story.  With the time put into research and the popularity of them, a podcast was her next step.

Wendi’s first episode is her favorite so far. She focused on Bransford Apartments.  She finds many of the buildings she talks about through the Utah State Archives.  Since her podcast is research based, she keeps it short and simple.  Her podcasts are interesting stories about interesting buildings that have been torn down.

As a side project to her side project, Wendi is helping with the Save the Pantages Theatre Campaign.  Its currently city owned, and the city is giving it to Hines.  They want to tear it down and use the land for condos, but Save The Pantages Theatre wants to restore it and use it as a movie theater similar to the Egyptian. 

You can find Wendi on Facebook at Demolished Salt Lake Podcast, on Twitter at @demolishedslpod and Instagram @demolishedsaltlakepodcast.  Her episodes are about 20 minutes long and come out about every two weeks.
