    The Demolished Salt Lake podcast is an absolute treasure for anyone interested in history, architecture, and storytelling. Hosted by Wendy, a natural storyteller, this podcast brings to life the long-gone invisible buildings of Salt Lake City in a way that makes you feel like you're experiencing them firsthand. Even if you're not a historic preservationist or a history buff, this podcast is still highly enjoyable and engaging.

    One of the best aspects of The Demolished Salt Lake podcast is Wendy's ability to weave together rich historical research with captivating storytelling. Her episodes are well thought out, thoroughly researched, and anything but bland. She manages to keep listeners engaged throughout the entire episode with her warm and inviting tone. Additionally, Wendy does an excellent job with all the production aspects of the podcast, ensuring high-quality sound and seamless transitions.

    Another standout aspect of this podcast is its ability to bring both the people and architecture of Utah's lost buildings back to life. With so many existing buildings in Utah being relatively new, it can sometimes feel like history only began in the 70s. However, The Demolished Salt Lake shines a spotlight on the fascinating stories behind the structures that have been lost over time. It provides a perfect blend of architectural information and anecdotes about the people who lived there.

    While it's hard to find any faults with The Demolished Salt Lake podcast, one possible downside is that there may not be enough episodes available for binge-listening yet. However, this small issue can easily be overlooked as each episode is worth savoring and appreciating individually.

    In conclusion, The Demolished Salt Lake podcast is a must-listen for anyone interested in history or architecture. Wendy's talent as a storyteller combined with her thorough research makes each episode an absolute delight. Whether you're a longtime resident of Utah or a newcomer to the area, this podcast will deepen your love for Utah's rich history and the architectural treasures that have been lost over time.
