Podcasts about Bonneville

Alex Kirry and Ethan Millard defy all odds and are back to posting episodes once a week for the Nightside Project on the KSL Podcast Network because they are slaves to the man(Sheryl)!  With the upheaval of both Ethan and Alex's work worlds, the boys catch up on what's been going on since KSL and Bonneville acquired The Zone Sports Network and Alex has to work full-time as a Sports Talk Show Host.  Ethan rolls out a #zenheadline in true fashion from a 10-year old story of a dog dying (thanks, Ethan).  Stay tuned as the guys will drop weekly episodes going forward now that things have settled down a little in both of their worlds.  Plus, a walk down memory lane when KSL let Nightside into the building for the first time all those years ago and they proceeded to break things in the office because they treated it like a frat house.  Not much has changed.     See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
