Episode 161 The Shittiest Podcast Episode

Standard

Episode 161 is full of some of your favorite things; lists and criminals!! It is our monthly coverage of an infamous Utah criminal. This month we spend our time on Douglas Carter who has recently had a break in his appeal process as of March 2019 and will be going back to court at a later date because of information that came to light. Visit our Infamous Criminal page for a recap on Douglas.

Alright, let’s get to our awesome lists! We love Catherine Armstrong of Only in Your State, and the research and adventures she goes on. We especially love weird things in Utah and this list by Only in Your State compiles just a few of them. We also came up with a city plan for Zaqistan. Yes, that is a real city in Utah.

Apparently this episode was about the weird…err unique. The Daily Herald compiled a list of Utah’s most unique names and where they came from. We were also surprised at some of the towns that were left off the list. Perhaps a part two is in the works? Episode 89 we took a quiz to see if we could guess where the Utah names came from.

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 103 Utah Lists are Always Rad, cause Utah is Rad!

Standard

This week we ventured into a couple of super rad lists about Utah, and who doesn’t love a good list? From Salt Lake Insider by the super fun Dustin Brohm, 20 Awesome Things you Never knew about Salt Lake City.  There were some we knew and some we didn’t! We also learned about 5 Famous Utah Attractions Lost to History by Robert J. Debry on KSL.com.

Did you know that there use to be a showboat on Utah Lake in the 1940’s?

Did you know that Utah is the highest manufacturer of rubber chickens?

Do you know WHY they call it the greatest snow on earth?

Did you know Utah had the first KFC franchise that still exists to this day?

Do you know why the streets are wide in Salt Lake City?

Did you know SLC is also considered the “gayest “city?  We will take that honor!

These are just a few of the Utah facts that we uncovered this week that make our state awesome!

We love good Utah trivia! If you have any send it our way!

Also if you have a great homemade sausage recipe for Chris, send it our way!
