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?”
During episode 109 Shawn, the founder of Green Urban Lunch Box, told us that the one thing that someone visiting Utah had to do before leaving was to take a drive up the canyon to be in the wilderness. Shawn said it’s also good to be in the city and do cool city things.
Fortunately Utah has plenty of canyons to visit and plenty of city to find cool in *which we have written tons about here on our website*! We love Utah.com’s guide for Scenic Drives & Byways. This map is just a smidgen of the Wasatch Front canyons!

Josh, The Herbalist, Williams of GreenThread Herbs joined us for episode 104 and what Josh had to say about the one thing in Utah, “Salt Lake is fantastic. I wouldn’t live anywhere else.” Josh said he loves living in a place that you still get to stick up for yourself and there is still space to fight for something. Josh also said to visit a music venue like Metro Music Hall. He said that when bands come back to a location often it says a lot about the city. Metro is just one of many amazing small venues in Salt Lake City. Urban Lounge, Kilby Court, The State Room, In The Venue, The CommonWealth Room, Park City Live, and The Garage are also fantastic SLC music venues!

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?
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!
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)!

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!

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!
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?”
Joining us on Skype for episode 99, Joanne Williams of Talisman Brewing Co. told us that the one thing you must do when visiting Utah is to head to Ogden and try some Talisman beer at their brewery! We definitely agree with that, as most of their offerings are ONLY at their brewery!
Joanne said it really depends on what part of the state you are visiting. She said that they had a goal for 52 hikes in 52 weeks! This is definitely possible. She said to visit Kanaraville Falls and then visit Cecret Lake, it shows you two sides of Utah!

Episode 97 guest, author MichaelBrent Collings, might not live in Utah but he has spent a bit of time here! We still wanted to know what his one thing he would tell someone visiting Utah that they had to do. Michael told us that you must visit Temple Square because there is only ONE Temple Square and because of how it is part of the history of the state of Utah.

What is a more important milestone? 100 episodes or rolling into your third year? We have been debating this for weeks. Either way we are so grateful that we have made it this far on our journey through our amazing state of Utah. We have met so many amazing people and cannot believe how quickly it has all passed by!
Also, doesn’t everyone love the rains down in Africa???
This week we took some time to interview each other, recap our favorite interviews, and of course be our silly and inappropriate selves! You usually only get a snapshot of what happened during our week and a tiny glimpse of who we are. We thought it would be fun to write down some questions and spend some time letting you get to know each of us a little better.
What else would you like to know about us? Send us your questions here or on Facebook/Twitter!
Thank you to everyone; comedians, Senators, musicians, food and product creators, activists, distillers and brewers, drag queens, personal trainers, authors, artists, dentists, Irishmen, keeper of the plants and farms, and all those (way too many to list everyone) that have taken time to join us the past 100 weeks! We are so lucky to have you be part of our New Utah Podcast tribe. We definitely look forward to meeting more amazing Utahn’s and people who have influenced our state!

Episode 91 we had two awesome guests join us. Owners, AJ and Steve, of The Chocolate Conspiracy sat down with us to talk about pure, unadulterated chocolate. Steve told us that his one thing he would tell people visiting Utah before they leave would be to go up into the Wasatch Mountains and get on trails and you’ve got to get to southern Utah. Steve says that our outdoor scene is totally special.

Utah ambassador, activist, photographer, and all around rad person Cat Palmer joined us for episode 80.
Cat is very in tune with the city and her one thing someone should do when visiting Utah is to hike up to Ensign Peak (click photo for info on the hike) where you can see the city lights. She also said to make it to local, and new to Salt Lake City, bars Lake Effect, Water Witch, and the State Room!
