Podcasts about Downtown Salt Lake City

Hosts: Erin Rider and Taylor Morgan  Downtown Salt Lake City is going to see some major changes in the next few years as the Delta Center and surrounding areas undergo a massive transformation. But one question with all of this has been the future of the Salt Palace Convention Center... and who’s going to pay for it. The Inside Sources hosts discuss a Senate bill that addresses these questions. 

Hosts: Erin Rider and Taylor Morgan  Analysis of Pres. Trump’s first Cabinet meeting  While not a Senate-confirmed member of the Cabinet, Elon Musk dominated much of today's first Cabinet meeting in President Trump's second term. Some people were expecting a rather awkward meeting between Musk and the secretaries after a few of them pushed back on Musk's recent efforts to cut waste in their departments. Inside Sources has analysis of the topics covered and the direction Pres. Trump is taking his Cabinet.    On the Hill 2025: Legislature’s bill addressing elections laws released  A top priority for the Majority in the Utah House of Representatives this legislative session has been addressing concerns on elections. Earlier in the session, we spoke with State Representative Jefferson Burton about some of those bills. Now, we’re seeing some major updates to House Bill 300, which addresses vote-by-mail. Representative Burton joins the show again to answer questions from host Erin Rider and Inside Sources Executive Producer Andy Cupp.    On the Hill 2025: Funding Salt Lake City’s Downtown Revitalization project  Downtown Salt Lake City is going to see some major changes in the next few years as the Delta Center and surrounding areas undergo a massive transformation. But one question with all of this has been the future of the Salt Palace Convention Center... and who’s going to pay for it. The Inside Sources hosts discuss a Senate bill that addresses these questions.    On the Hill 2025: Restrictions on investors buying single-family homes  Housing availability and housing affordability -- we don't mean to sound like a broken record, but these are important issues to Utahns. And it's going to take a range of solutions to fix the issue. State Representative Gay Lynn Bennion is offering a proposal that would restrict investors from buying single-family homes, giving regular people a better opportunity to own a home. She joins the show to share more.    On the Hill 2025: Increasing housing density around transit lines, stations  In places like the Salt Lake and Utah Valleys, we’re eventually going to run up against the mountains or the lakes... running out of room to continue spreading out. This means we might need to focus on building upwards instead. And according to State Senator Wayne Harper, a great place to do that would be around transit lines and stops. He joins the program to explain the specifics of his bill.    The White House will decide which news outlets cover the Trump Administration  From the beginning of his second term in office, President Trump has said he would change how the administration is covered by the media. One of his biggest points was to open access to new media outlets. Yesterday, the administration made a pretty big change that goes against roughly 70 years of precedent. KSL NewsRadio News Director Becky Bruce joins to walk the hosts through some of the concerns being shared by journalists.    On the Hill 2025: Bills on judicial standing and appeals  Several bills in this legislative session address the role of the judiciary. A few of these bills address who can bring lawsuits before the courts and what the courts can do with things like appeals. A few weeks ago, we spoke about Senate Bills 203 and 204 -- both sponsored by State Senator Brady Brammer. Today, he joins Erin and Taylor for a discussion on the pair of bills.    Pres. Trump proposes penalties for migrants who don’t register with the government  Fines or prison time could be coming for migrants who are here illegally and don't register with a new database meant to track "aliens in this country illegally." It’s part of President Trump’s efforts to crack down on illegal immigration. The Inside Sources hosts finish the show discussing this registry and potential far-reaching effects.   

Lindsay Aerts gives the latest updates on Downtown SLC Renovation.  It's bye week for BYU & Utah. How do the student athletes handle the break? Should the NFL be the one to decide if Tua can or can't play? 

Hosts: Taylor Morgan & Adam Gardiner You’ve probably heard a lot about the revitalization zone in Downtown Salt Lake City, but did you know there’s another similar zone near the Utah State Fairpark? This zone was also created through a Utah State Legislature bill last year. We chat with Utah State Senator Scott Sandall, Chair of the Fairpark Area Investment and Restoration District to get some updates on the plans.

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Adam Gardiner Previewing tomorrow’s debate double-headerTwo debates air tomorrow – the Utah Attorney General and Vice Presidential debate. We kick off today’s KSL at Night previewing and discussing these two debates; Adam Gardiner thinks they’re important, but Taylor Morgan doesn’t think so. We discuss what each host is looking most forward to and what they think the candidates need to focus on in the debates in order to make their mark with voters ahead of the November election. Examining Senator Romney’s Family Security ActOutgoing U.S. Senator Mitt Romney has introduced the Family Security Act, which Romney says is a pro-family, pro-life, and pro-marriage bill. The act would modernize and streamline federal policies into an expanded Child Tax Credit, which is due to see major decreases in 2025 as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 expires. The KSL at Night hosts discuss the ins and outs of this new bill. Getting an insider’s view on the recently-passed continuing resolutionLast week, the United States House and Senate both passed a continuing resolution that would fund the government into December. It’s not a full spending bill; it only contains extensions that Speaker Mike Johnson said were “absolutely necessary.” Utah Congresswoman Celeste Maloy (UT-2) joins KSL at Night in the studio to walk our listeners through the most recent bill and the exclusion of the SAVE Act in that bill. What’s going on with the revitalization zone near the Utah State Fairpark?You’ve probably heard a lot about the revitalization zone in Downtown Salt Lake City, but did you know there’s another similar zone near the Utah State Fairpark? This zone was also created through a Utah State Legislature bill last year. We chat with Utah State Senator Scott Sandall, Chair of the Fairpark Area Investment and Restoration District to get some updates on the plans. Union support strong and growing for former President Donald TrumpFor the past several decades, unions around the country have supported Democratic candidates, especially in presidential races. New data shows that former President Donald Trump is on track for the best performance among union voters in 40 years. KSL at Night hosts Adam Gardiner and Taylor Morgan discuss how Trump’s populist policies have earned him the support of the working class. Ranked-choice voting in Utah: the pros and cons of this methodIn 2018, the Utah lawmakers approved an opt-in pilot program that would allow cities to use ranked-choice voting in non-partisan elections. As the years have gone on, fewer and fewer cities have decided to continue using this voting method. Why is this? We dig into the topic ahead of the November election. Josh Daniels from Trust Utah Elections provides reasons why he supports ranked-choice voting; Riverton City Council Member Andy Pierucci provides an opposing view. How to keep strong political feelings from dividing your familyPolitics and religion – two topics most people try to avoid when talking with family. But in an election year, it’s not always easy to avoid talking about politics. When the topic inevitably comes up, how should you handle it? The KSL at Night hosts have a lively discussion on how to have beneficial political conversations with family members.

Hosts: Adam Gardiner and Taylor Morgan The Salt Lake City Council has approved some big zoning changes in Downtown Salt Lake City ahead of the revitalization project centered around the Delta Center. From changing building height restrictions to discussing the kinds of billboards that can be put up, there’s plenty to talk about. Salt Lake City Council Chair Victoria Petro joins the program to share the Council’s thoughts on the recent vote.

Salt Lake City Council Chair Victoria Petro joins the program to share the Council’s thoughts on the recent vote. The Legislature’s role in the ballot initiative process – history and futureWe’re taking a walk down memory lane to discuss ballot initiatives in Utah. That little jaunt takes us to the last general session for the State Legislature, where changes were proposed regarding the initiative and referendum process. State Representative Jason Kyle sponsored some of those proposals and was also involved in legislation during the special session. He discusses the connection between the bills in the two sessions and what the Legislature may do next. The September 10th Presidential debate is back onThe September 10th presidential debate is back on following back-and-forth over the previously-agreed upon rules. The rules from the previous debate will stay the same for the next debate, including the muting of mics. But is it smart for Kamala Harris to join in a debate, even as polls show her leading in many states? The KSL at Night hosts discuss all this and more. How do Utahns feel about Governor Cox endorsing Trump for President?Just a week after saying he wouldn’t vote for Donald Trump, Utah Governor Spencer Cox changed his mind and endorsed the former president. It’s been about a month since that decision, and we now have polling showing how that choice affected the Cox campaign. Do Utahns support Cox’s endorsement? Or did that turn folks away? Listen to find out! Utah school districts experiencing a teacher “un-shortage”We’ve talked so much over the past few years about how Utah’s experienced a shortage of teachers, struggling both with hiring and retention. The State Legislature decided to take action, passing several bills last session to help. KSL-TV’s Deanie Wimmer took a look at where school districts are now with teacher staffing, and found that in the major Utah school districts, virtually all teaching positions have been filled. We discuss what led to this shifting trend. The American Dream: has it become a kind of pipe dream?Life has gotten more and more expensive year after year. That brings up the question: is the American Dream even attainable nowadays? A new Wall Street Journal article claims a growing number of Americans believe that kind of dream will never be within reach. Robert Spendlove, Senior Economist at Zions Bank and current State Representative explains his perspective on the concerns. Surgeon general: Children contributing to parental mental health problemsThe United States surgeon general has a new advisory out today saying that parent stress is a public health challenge. It’s probably not a surprise to most people, especially to parents themselves. But is it really that bad? KSL at Night hosts Taylor Morgan and Adam Gardiner are both parents, and they have lots of thoughts. We finish off the night with a lively discussion on parental mental health.

Hosts: Leah Murray and Greg Skordas Following the pandemic, there’s been a slow return to the office, especially for workers in Downtown Salt Lake City. Does this mean Downtown needs to diversify itself more — adding more housing or entertainment, for instance? Dee Brewer, Executive Director of the Downtown Alliance calls into the show to shed some light on what his organization sees for the future of Downtown Salt Lake City. Brewer also discusses how the 2034 Winter Olympics could help boost the area’s “social economy.”

Hosts: Leah Murray and Greg Skordas Kamala Harris chooses Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as running mateThe Democratic presidential ticket is now complete; Kamala Harris has selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to be her vice presidential pick. Who is Walz? What does he bring to the ticket? Hosts Leah Murray and Greg Skordas get our listeners up to speed. But wait, what do Republicans think about Walz? Are they feeling worried or strengthened? KSL at Night host and President of ASG Consulting, Adam Gardiner joins the program to share some insight from the other side of the aisle. Reviewing some key primary elections around the country todaySeveral states held primary elections today, with a few big names facing stiff competition. We talk through some of the races in Michigan, Missouri, Kansas, and Washington. Two states are also seen as vulnerable to conflict in the next election: Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. The KSL at Night hosts catch our listeners up on other federal races across the country.Discussing the effects of Google losing its antitrust caseA judge has ruled that Google’s search engine illegally exploits its dominance to beat its competitors. The major antitrust case could have huge ramifications on online searches going forward. The hosts take a moment to compare this case to other historical antitrust case. Greg Skordas, KSL Legal Analyst, breaks down the newest ruling against Google and talks about what it could lead to. Gov. Cox rejects death row inmate’s request for a reprieveToday, Governor Spencer Cox rejected a request from Taberon Honie, a death row inmate set for execution this week. Honie’s lawyers had asked for the Governor to grant a temporary reprieve. What exactly does that mean? This is a sensitive case, but an important one nonetheless. We take a few moments to discuss the situation surrounding the first legal execution in Utah in 14 years. What does the future of Downtown Salt Lake City look like?Following the pandemic, there’s been a slow return to the office, especially for workers in Downtown Salt Lake City. Does this mean Downtown needs to diversify itself more — adding more housing or entertainment, for instance? Dee Brewer, Executive Director of the Downtown Alliance calls into the show to shed some light on what his organization sees for the future of Downtown Salt Lake City. Brewer also discusses how the 2034 Winter Olympics could help boost the area’s “social economy.” Examining life expectancy rates around the state People in Utah have a longer lifespan than the average U.S. population. In fact, the state ranks 9th in the country, placed between Vermont and Connecticut. But the life expectancy varies depending on where you live in the state. We speak with Deseret News contributor and professor at The Catholic University of America, Stephen Cranney about the trends he’s seeing in his analyses of the data. News Roundup: Bald eagles, RFK Jr., and a bear carcass in Central ParkDid you know the bald eagle — a symbol of America for years and years — wasn’t actually the official bird of the United States until last month? It’s crazy to think about! We share the story of how it finally came to be. In other news, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has admitted to dumping a dead bear cub in New York’s Central Park. Wait what? Listen to hear that story too.

Downtown Salt Lake City may be forever changed by the coronavirus pandemic, with its future now less about workdays and more about nightlife. Three-plus years after the U.S. onset of COVID-19, about a third fewer workers are commuting each weekday to a workplace in the central business district, compared to late 2019. As the pattern persists, effects of remote work and all those empty cubicles are now combining with higher interest rates, pockets of layoffs and rising economic uncertainty to produce a major slowdown in the city's office sector. At the same time, evidence suggests downtown as a whole is unbowed in its dramatic recovery since fall 2021 in visitation numbers even as some office workers stay home, with overall trips to the urban core now 139% ahead of pre-virus levels.

Truly taken aback & caught off guard with my antics on this one. One of my favorite episodes by far. Much like the Muse Saturday Morning Zounds episode. I am really, really glad I kept my ancestor's diary in a place where I would not forget it. 178 years in the making… two weeks shy of the day. How inspiring it was for me to read & share this. While reminiscing about excursions to Downtown Salt Lake City. Meeting my wonderful mumsies for lunch & reading the journals of our ancestors at the Church History Library where our ancestors' journals are kept. This particular passage & page reading is from a journal I was not at all familiar with. I am not sure if this journal is in the Church Library or not. Either way, I am quite inspired & happy to have shared it with all of my fans & listeners tuning in at home. “My mind was dark & so full of traditions.” A very, very, heavily, monetized episode. xoxo BLiNG --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bling-viera/message

We spoke to Bridget Gordon from the Green Pig Pub and the Harp and the Hound in Ogden to see how she is navigating her business closures and the 90 employees that work between her two establishments. No bars in downtown Salt Lake City decided to remain open for curbside delivery. Gordon said this was because the cost of maintaining the kitchen staff they have is far too large to merit what they would likely receive in return for curbside delivery.

Years ago I sat in a beautiful theater in Downtown Salt Lake City and was swept away by the stories the energetic woman was telling from stage. I walked out of the session and immediately texted the conference organizer, letting her know that this woman needed to be keynoting on the mainstage next time. Little did I know, when I had the honor of getting all fired up by her captivating brand of storytelling, Kindra Hall was just getting started. Now she's keynoting conferences in front of 7,000+, teaching the power of storytelling in business, and it's been so inspiring to see her trajectory. It's also proof that what she teaches works because she's one of the best storytellers I've ever heard. Somehow over the years, Kindra Hall and I became friends on Instagram, and when I saw she had a book coming out that teaches how to use stories to transform your business through captivating your customers and influencing your audience, I knew we had to have her on The Kate & Mike Show.

Prior to 2010, if you mentioned Bar X to a Salt Lake City resident, a very particular image came to mind: a dive bar, cheap beer, no women allowed (until 1986, that is). It wouldn't necessarily be considered a downtown hot spot that locals and visitors flocked to. But when Bar X went up for sale, a very ambitious group had a vision for what Downtown Salt Lake City could be and knew that a revamped Bar X was the starting point. This new group of owners, with Richard Noel and Duncan Burrell at the forefront, were inspired by the craft beer and cocktail communities growing in New York City and Los Angeles and wanted to bring the Portland feel to the growing Salt Lake City community. This marriage of ideas led to Bar X opening as one of the first handcrafted cocktail bars in Salt Lake City. Immediately locals flocked to the new bar, and word spread quickly. With a staff full of cocktail connoisseurs and creative energy that flows throughout the entire space, Bar X threw down the gauntlet for all future development downtown.After an incredibly successful launch and initial few years, Richard and Duncan's love for craft brewing developed into Beer Bar, a beer-centric bar that offers the widest beer selection in the state, perfectly paired with a sausage menu that is locally made and bursting with flavor. With very distinct vibes and different offerings, Bar X and Beer Bar work in tandem to provide a variety of experiences all within close proximity.Six years later, Bar X and it's attached sister, Beer Bar, have introduced a new vibe and quality of nightlife that was a first in Salt Lake City. With hand-crafted cocktails made of high-quality ingredients and fresh-squeezed juice, these two downtown staples jumpstarted a revitalization for the cocktail and beer scene in Salt Lake City. Join us as we sit down with Richard Noel, Duncan Burrell, and Jeff Barnard as they tell us the fascinating story behind these two popular destinations, and how their vision and passion led to the creation of these unique bars. —This episode of The Utah Foodie was hosted by Chase Murdock and produced by Ryan Samanka.
