Utah’s One Thing: Hraefn Wulfson

Standard

At the end of every New Utah 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?”

Hraefn Wulfson in episode 20 suggested that the one thing to do in Utah when visiting is to look at what makes the historical foundations of Utah, but look at it from an archaeological perspective. The things that are here, that are part of the founding culture, are very interesting from an anthropology point of view. The temple is a unique piece of architecture and when you think of how it is made it gives a different perspective on Utah. And what better way to know about it’s history, than to go to Temple Square.

Also, stop at the Salt Flats!

Ep31. Drag Queen’s selling Tupperware in Uncle Rico’s van!

Standard

The New Utah decided to break down 2016 Utah news stories and what we remembered. With everyone’s lists not out yet, we built our own. From Utah tornado’s, Bears Ears (which at the time of recording hadn’t been announced), the loss of some great Utah Officers, flooding in southern Utah, and of course the toxic algae… I think we survived 2016 okay! (hopefully Jessica doesn’t get poisoned)

New Years is just around the corner and there are events up and down the Wasatch Front. That includes Viva La Diva Dinner show at ClubX Friday AND Saturday.  (yes, you can have omelettes for dinner, but our events mistress won’t be cooking them this time) and local comedian and podcaster, Jay Whittakter doing two nights at Wiseguys in Ogden. Who doesn’t want to bring in the new year with a good laugh???

First, we must mourn the loss of a Utah Original… RIP Training Table.

Yes, it is cold outside. But don’t get stuck indoors this holiday season. The New Utah gives you a run down of some great events this weekend and all through the month of December to celebrate the holidays.

If you’re cold and you want to support local and need some coffee, head to Rose Park *not to be confused with Rosa Parks* and get some coffee from Buzzed Coffee Truck!  Trina is passionate about bringing this community together and we love this!

There are opportunities to go ice skating around the valley whether you are outdoors or indoors. Does anyone know if there is still skating in Provo on Utah lake???

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.

Episode 27… Killer Condoms and just stay on the f***ing path…

Standard

Episode 27 here at the New Utah Podcast was full of all kinds of treats and chatter.

This weeks events include Festival of Trees, ChristkindleMarket at This is the Place, and Utah Winter Faire, and today we have awareness for World AIDS day and some great events going on in Salt Lake City.

Festival Of Trees.jpg

The New Utah was treated by Emily Park of Indulge Eats. She makes some of THE best caramels you’ve ever had, homemade marshmallows, she is part of a ladies home-brewing club, and she teaches classes at Alta. If you haven’t had her sweets you can find her at local festivals and markets around Salt Lake City and now she is featured in Lemon and Sage in Springville, Utah! You can order here stuff online HERE but we suggest getting out at meeting her. Follow her on Facebook!

How fitting for our 27th episode we thought we would have some fun, not like we haven’t before, and print out all of the City Weekly Best of 2016 list on THEIR 27th anniversary and go through and pick out our favorites. What we loved and what we thought should be included! Everything from Kevin’s chicken, Ruby Snap, the peaches at Gourmandise, Ogden’s Own, Hot Springs and some hikes and Bear Lake, Comic Book stores, Kerry Jackson, Iconoclad’s amazing social media presence, Ben Winslow having the best Utah twitter (you should follow him), the best donuts,  our friends at Mountain West Cider, and of COURSE Misty K Snow!

BTW… We do not condone people voting for corporate stores that aren’t based in Utah. We have plenty of awesome locals.

What did you think should have made their list?

PS. Chris Loves the Spice Girls. (but who doesn’t?)
