Podcasts about Great Salt Lake

GDP Script/ Top Stories for October 11th Publish Date: October 11th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, October 11th and Happy Birthday to Steve Young I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Fernbank Museum set to premiere 2 new Giant Screen films House Republicans consider more funding for public health Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church Hosts 40th Anniversary Community Carnival and Trunk or Treat All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Fernbank Museum set to premiere 2 new Giant Screen films This fall, Fernbank Museum is serving up two epic adventures on its Giant Screen Theater—stories that’ll stick with you long after the credits roll. First up, “Wild Rescue” (premiering today Oct. 11). It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network, where bobcats, pelicans, and other injured animals get a second shot at life. Think animal ER, but with jaw-dropping cinematography and a whole lot of heart. Then there’s “Secrets of Great Salt Lake” (opening Nov. 8). Mammoths, saber-toothed cats, ancient floods—it’s a wild ride through time, showing how water shapes life, from the Rockies to the Great Salt Lake. Both films are included with general admission. Don’t miss it. STORY 2: House Republicans consider more funding for public health   Georgia’s public health system is at a breaking point, lawmakers were told Tuesday. Federal funding is drying up—COVID-era dollars are gone, grants are shrinking, and the Congressional budget mess isn’t helping. State funding has increased over the years, but it’s not enough. Per-person spending has dropped from $97 in 2012 to just $74 today, said Leah Chan of the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute. Rural areas? They’re hit hardest—fewer resources, fewer workers, and the looming threat of hospital closures. Advocates made it clear: public health programs save money and lives. Vaccinations, lead abatement, substance abuse prevention—they all reduce preventable deaths and boost the economy. Lawmakers listened, but what’s next? No one’s saying yet. The committee has until Dec. 1 to make recommendations. STORY 3: Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church Hosts 40th Anniversary Community Carnival and Trunk or Treat   Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church in Duluth is throwing a big party, and everyone’s invited! To celebrate 40 years, they’re hosting a Community Carnival and Trunk or Treat on Saturday, Oct. 25, from 1 to 3 p.m. in the back parking lot. It’s free, it’s fun, and it’s packed with stuff for the whole family—think decorated trunks, games, face painting, a bounce house, raffle baskets, a fall photo booth, snacks, drinks, and, of course, candy. Lots of candy. They’re also asking guests to bring canned or nonperishable food to stock their Little Free Pantry, helping neighbors in need. Come for the fun, stay for the community vibes. 3700 Pleasant Hill Road, Duluth. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: CITY OF SUGAR HILL STORY 4: Man and woman killed in domestic shooting near Lawrenceville Gwinnett police are piecing together what happened Wednesday morning in a tragic domestic incident that left a man and woman dead in a home near Lawrenceville. Officers were called to the 600 block of Clearwater Place around 9:40 a.m. after someone reported a shooting. Inside a bedroom, they found the two victims—both dead from apparent gunshot wounds. A gun was recovered at the scene, but the Medical Examiner’s Office will confirm the exact cause of death. Detectives aren’t searching for suspects, but they’re interviewing witnesses and combing through evidence. The victims’ names haven’t been released yet, as police are notifying family. Anyone with information can call detectives at 770-513-5300 or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477. Cash rewards are available for tips leading to an arrest. STORY 5: Grayson Football Heads into 15-Day Break with Dominant Win Grayson’s freshman quarterback, Deuce Smith, is making this whole “starter” thing look easy. Filling in after Travis Burgess’ season-ending injury, Smith threw *five* first-half touchdowns Thursday night, leading the Rams to a 58-10 demolition of Rockdale County. Grayson wasted no time. Josh Thomas ripped off a 62-yard run on the first play, and two snaps later, Smith hit Saif Bin-Wahad for a quick 7-0 lead. By the end of the first quarter? 34-7. Even the reserves got in on the action. Junior Tre Crum ran in a touchdown, and freshman Jojo Watts electrified the sideline with a 50-yard punt return score. Grayson, now riding a 22-game win streak, has 15 days to prep for South Gwinnett. Break 3: STORY 6: GCPS names 25 semifinalists for Teacher of the Year Gwinnett County Public Schools just announced the 25 semifinalists for the 2027 Teacher of the Year award, narrowing down an impressive field of 141 local winners. These educators—spanning elementary, middle, and high schools—are now in the running for the district’s top teaching honor. The big moment? January 29 at 6:30 p.m., when GCPS will host a banquet to celebrate all local school Teachers of the Year and crown the county’s best. This year’s semifinalists include standout teachers like Marquiesha Pless Morris (2nd grade, Baggett Elementary), Kelly Swanson (AP Psychology, Brookwood High), and Cindy Quinlan (Entrepreneurship, Phoenix High). The full list of semifinalists showcases the incredible talent shaping Gwinnett’s classrooms every day. STORY 7: Shiloh Grad Michael Nash Remembered Fondly in Gwinnett, Dunwoody It took Michael Nash a while to figure out where he belonged. Coaching and teaching weren’t on his radar at first. After graduating from Shiloh High in 1992, he tried college football, worked in his parents’ business, even moved out of state to build houses. But life has a funny way of steering you back. One day, his old friend Ed Shaddix, then principal at North Gwinnett High, called him up. “Are you ready yet?” Shaddix asked. And that was it. Nash, in his 30s, with a wife, two kids, and bills to pay, went back to school. He worked at North, coached under Bob Sphire, and earned his degree. It wasn’t easy, but it was the start of something bigger. Nash’s coaching journey took him from Shiloh to Dunwoody, where he spent 10 years rebuilding a struggling program. When he arrived, there were 17 players, no facilities, and barely $20,000 in the budget. But he got to work—weight training, nutrition programs, camps, fundraising. Slowly, the team grew to over 120 players, with a budget in the hundreds of thousands. It wasn’t just about football, though. Nash believed in loving his players, in making them better people. He coached lacrosse and baseball when the school needed him. He helped kids with problems at home. In February, Nash left Dunwoody to coach at Chattahoochee County, closer to family. Tragically, he passed away on October 3 after emergency surgery. He was 51. A memorial service will be held October 12 at Dunwoody Baptist Church. To support his family, visit the GoFundMe page in his honor.

First, they discuss judging a lip-sync competition, a first-time ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show' experience, the recent horror fashions spotted on the Devil Wears Prada 2 set, the very much not imploding world of print media, Jeff and Lauren Bezos's endless vacation, and more. Back on RHOSLC, the boardroom continues, and Baby Girl Lisa tries to make it right with the ladies after coming to blows with Whitney and Angie.

Mary and her cousin/disciple tour her newly renovated church, opening the vault on her cosmic feud with her late mother. Meanwhile, Bronwyn's own mother wound worsens, as Muzzy ups the ante on her reign of terror.

A special session was convened yesterday at the request of Governor Cox, which saw many large political strides made in just a few hours. Among the items on the agenda were raising the berm on the Great Salt Lake, delegating the choice of chief justice to the Governor, and, of course, the redistricting maps. One map, "Map C," was put in front of the courts. Greg and John talk about the choices made by the legislature and some of the pushback it has seen.   

In the Utah Legislature's special session yesterday, they passed a bill which will allow the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands to raise the berm in the lake to 4,192 feet if deemed necessary. We bring on the Deputy Director of the Division of Forestry, Fire, and Lands Ben Stireman to discuss why they are looking to raise the berm and the details around this decision.

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Since 1931, the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art has been a gathering place for artists and creatives in the region, fostering inspiration, collaboration, and innovation. Here to share some exciting updates, Development Strategist, Kaitlin Mills, joins us with more. Kaitlin Mills: We're thrilled to share two exciting updates from the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art. First, UMOCA recently launched the Assemblage Art Fund, providing targeted support for visual artists and collectives in Salt Lake County. Through Assemblage, 6 to 12 artists will receive grants for their project. This initiative is made possible by the Andy Warhol Foundation and inaugural recipients will be announced on October 24 at our annual Halloween Bash. On September 26, UMOCA celebrates the opening of Elizabeth Malaska's solo exhibition, awarded through the 2025 Catherine Doctorow Prize for Contemporary Painting, a biennial award supported by the Jarvis and Constance Doctorow Family Foundation. That same evening, Oscar Tuazon's Salt Lake Water School closes with experimental projections on its structure, emphasizing the work's urgent reflection on the Great Salt Lake's environmental future. Derek Miller: The Utah Museum of Contemporary Art continues to play a vital role in Utah's arts community, inspiring creativity, supporting local artists, and bringing innovative projects to life.

Lara and Carey have hitched their covered wagon to the stars once again, traveling West to the promised land for another glorious season of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. But first, they admit to being fully Delco-pilled by the Mare of Easttown-adjacent “Task” and its impossibly stacked (and hot) cast. They also speak on a fashion TikToker's trouble with Miu Miu, and the ongoing phenomenon of celebrity head transplants. Back on the banks of the Great Salt Lake, Hengie K puts her family's mega-RV to use by picking up the ladies (minus Lisa Barlow, PLUS Britani) for a spooky and cold camping trip in Provo Canyon. Wild Rose, fuck-ass redheaded bob in tow, stages a prank for the ladies with a posse of male strippers disguised as a SWAT team. Lisa's legal woes are called out by Bronwyn and Whitney; Wild Rose's own collapsing business is called out by Britani, who reveals her own engagement and prompt un-engagement to Mormon fuckboy Jared Osmond. Setting out in the wide open yonder, the women enjoy kayaking, fly fishing, debating fish CPR, and nibbling sandwiches. But tensions arise around the fire pit as a Women In Business Summit™️ commences. The Wild Rose mourns her failed (felllld) entrepreneurial endeavors, a nonverbal Meredith nods off, Britani defends accusations of dick sucking, Barlow's iconic backstabbing ways are complained about, and Heather forces ghostly whimsy, as the women—each with a camcorder in hand— set off for a night hike to investigate the vengeful ghost of “Molly Sorensen.”Chapters:00:00:00 It's back-to-school time!00:03:37 TASK rabbits unite00:14:47 Miu Miu catastrophe!00:25:21 Celebrity head transplants00:29:54 RHOSLC Recap!Listen to this episode ad-free AND get access to weekly bonus episodes + video bonus episodes by joining the SUP Patreon.

Host Bob St.Pierre talks with Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever leaders Al Eiden, Ron Leathers, and Andrew Vavra about habitat improvement efforts in eleven western states. They also discuss hunting opportunities for 26 upland bird species found in these regions. Episode Highlights: • Eiden and Leathers discuss PF & QF's habitat work along the Bear River, which spans Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho and is the Great Salt Lake's largest tributary. These habitat efforts benefit upland birds and improve the Great Salt Lake's water quality and quantity. • The group also discusses the Bruneau-Owyhee Sage-grouse Habitat (BOSH) Project in Idaho. PF & QF leads this 617,000-acre project, which happens to be the largest single contiguous habitat effort currently underway in the U.S. • Throughout the conversation covering eleven Western states, the guys talk about hunting terrain and tactics for chukar, valley quail, blue grouse, Mearns' quail, Gambel's quail, and a variety of other species with a focus on Midwestern bird hunters with wanderlust to explore the West.

Additional fire restrictions for Cache County -- House Speaker calls for Great Salt Lake special session -- BYU introduces immigration law courses for nonlawyers 

In the early days of 2023, a group of researchers and activists published a report with a shocking conclusion: Utah's Great Salt Lake was losing water so fast that it was on track to effectively disappear within five years. Since the report was issued, the Great Salt Lake's water loss not only slowed, but its water level actually increased. In June 2024, the lake's two sides — which are divided by an embankment — were three feet higher than they had been two years prior. So what happened here? At first blush, the story appears to be an example of science gone wrong — an exaggerated claim of imminent danger, founded on flawed assumptions and questionable processes, that damaged the public's trust in the scientific community and its receptiveness to future warnings. But could it actually be a story of the power of concerted action, or poor science communication in the media? Drawing on interviews with the lead authors on the 2023 “five-year” report, Utah's Great Salt Lake commissioner, a former member of Utah's Air Quality Board and an expert on the lake's atmospheric effects, we'll explore the uncertain future of the Great Salt Lake — the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere and a critical resource for the health and aspirations of millions of people.

Everyone is welcome in her circles. This community-held writing practice was designed for anyone willing to pick up a pen. A recent PBS documentary highlights River Writing as a method of repair for what is broken in our relationship with the natural world. Her debut poetry collection, prayers not meant for heaven, was published by Toad Hall Editions in the summer of 2021. Nan's story lake woman leaving, a modern myth, was awarded the 2022 Alfred Lambourne prize by Friends of Great Salt Lake. As the poet-in-residence on Antelope Island, Nan led day-and-night vigils on behalf of the imperiled Great Salt Lake throughout the 2022 and 2023 Utah State legislative sessions. During her weeks on the receding lake shore, she assembled the praise poem called irreplaceable, ;a collective love letter containing over 400 individual voices from lake-facing citizens. The epic ode is a community cry for this essential ecosystem's full restoration. In the May 2023 special issue of Desert Report, Nan offers a reflection on relationship with the lake from the perspective of two winter vigils. Nan continues to advocate for Rights of Nature, legally defensible personal rights for ecosystems, including Great Salt Lake. Her work gives voice to their inherent right to live, flourish, and evolve in natural way. The words emerge from a devotion to repairing the breach between humans and the rest of the sentient, singing earth.

A recent article co-published by The New York Times and The Salt Lake Tribune raises the question of whether or not, as Great Salt Lake continues to dry up, the political will to save the lake is likewise evaporating. If so, what can be done to reinvigorate it?

The Great Salt Lake inspires art that gives communities across Utah a way to show strength, raise awareness, and foster understanding, creating deeper connections. Emma Ratkovic explores how art becomes a powerful force for compassion and change through the voices of local artists.

The Great Salt Lake is 11-thousand years old. The lake is a huge part of our lives on the Wasatch front and it's in trouble. We know the lake exists but do we really care about it? Low water levels are having devastating effects on wildlife and the air we breathe. Jolene Croasmun looks at what is happening to the lake and how we can save it.

Documents recently obtained by Politico give us a clearer picture of the foreign aid cuts – Marty and Adam discuss those cuts.    On the Hill 2025: Gov. Cox signs, vetoes final bills of the session  The closing chapter of the 2025 Legislative General Session is now complete. Last night, Governor Cox vetoed and signed the final bills of the session. He also let a few bills go into law without his signature.

On this episode of Possibly, we're taking a look at the Great Salt Lake. The lake has been shrinking for years, but it's also doing something strange- it's creating more greenhouse gas emissions than people expected.

After the death of Joseph Smith, the Mormons relocated to the basin beside the Great Salt Lake, led by Brigham Young. The journey of the pioneering Mormons and Young's leadership were an amazing display of spirit and grit but the shadow of polygamy dogged them in their quest to become a state. Slavery further complicated things for the Mormons and their strange doctrine of blood atonement which resulted in the infamous Mountain Meadows Massacre.

The Great Salt Lake is home to millions of different species of wildlife, with penises as unique as they are. Yeah, you read that right.

Happy Spring Equinox! To welcome Spring – especially this exact Spring in the US - practicing re-enchantment in our world seemed exactly the right focus. I think this is part of what Gardeners do: practice enchantment or love with the natural world we care for. We're in conversation this week with Brooke Williams: writer, naturalist, amateur conservation ecologist, thinker, observer, and walker. Based in the Great Salt Lake region of Utah with his wife, acclaimed writer Terry Tempest Williams, Brooke writes about evolution, consciousness, and his own adventures exploring both the inner and outer wilderness in our world. He is also a Gardener, and author most recently of Encountering Dragonfly, Notes on the Practice of Re-Enchantment. Dragonflies are of course among our favorite and most enchanting of companions in the garden – our built-in pest control for other insects such as mosquitos; predators who are not themselves pests in our lives. Squadrons of dragonflies patrolling the garden or wild lands in Summer are symbols everywhere of transformation and balance. For the ecological and symbolic importance of dragonflies to our human lives, I am so pleased to welcome Brooke to Cultivating Place. Cultivating Place now has a donate button! We thank you so much for listening over the years and we hope you'll support Cultivating Place. We can't thank you enough for making it possible for this young program to grow even more of these types of conversations. The show is available as a podcast on SoundCloud and iTunes.

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Erin Rider  A pink-colored payphone is popping up around Salt Lake City, allowing people to hear memories of the Great Salt Lake and share their own stories and memories too. The "Great Salt Lake Hopeline" is a public art project designed to bring additional awareness to preservation efforts for the lake. Awareness is great, but what about action? Inside Sources discusses some of the recent legislation regarding the Great Salt Lake.

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Erin Rider  Drama between DOJ, President Trump, and federal judge continues  The drama continues this afternoon between the Department of Justice and President Trump, and a U.S. District judge requesting information about deportation flights. You'll recall that the president called for that judge's impeachment, but the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court refuses to even go down that path. Today, the Justice Department chastised the judge’s demand for more information. We begin Inside Sources with a discussion on the latest developments.    National Democrats holding town halls in Republican districts  Recent Congressional Republican town halls have been quite lively and loud, with protestors and angry constituents voicing frustrations over several things President Trump and Congress are doing. It's prompted urging from Congressional GOP leaders to stop holding town halls for a while. Now, Democrats see this as an opportunity to swoop in and make headway in these conservative districts.    Explicit bans on segregated facilities removed from federal contracts  More effects of President Trump's push to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts within the federal government today. Now, contractors who work with the government are no longer explicitly prohibited from having segregated restaurants, waiting rooms, and drinking fountains. Is this a big deal or a complete nonissue? The Inside Sources hosts break it down.    Washington D.C. facing budget issues due to Congress  With all the talk of the federal budget the past few weeks, there's one piece missing... and you may not have even noticed it: Washington D.C. They actually need Congress to approve their budget, and the GOP spending bill that passed last week will require the city to cut $1 Billion of the budget... in the middle of the fiscal year. Erin Rider and Taylor Morgan discuss the uniqueness of D.C.’s relationship with the rest of the country.    Pres. Trump, Pres. Zelenskyy hold talks following explosive conversation last month  Following the explosive meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in February, there was a lot of hesitation and worry about the future of a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia. But following today's call between the two -- as well as yesterday's conversation between Trump and Russian President Putin -- things are looking a bit better. The Inside Sources hosts describe how they’re feeling better about the situation.    On the Hill 2025: Legislation on the Great Salt Lake – what passed and what failed?  A pink-colored payphone is popping up around Salt Lake City, allowing people to hear memories of the Great Salt Lake and share their own stories and memories too. The "Great Salt Lake Hopeline" is a public art project designed to bring additional awareness to preservation efforts for the lake. Awareness is great, but what about action? Inside Sources discusses some of the recent legislation regarding the Great Salt Lake.    On the Hill 2025: State may pay vendors in silver and gold  One legislative bill we never dug into on Inside Sources dealt with gold and silver. House Bill 306 -- sponsored by Rep. Ken Ivory -- would allow the state of Utah to pay vendors in actual gold or silver. It instructs the State Treasurer's office to do several things relating to this change, so we wanted to dig into that more. Utah State Treasurer Marlo Oaks joins Inside Sources to share his thoughts.    Additional files released relating to JFK’s assassination  Did Lee Harvey Oswald actually shoot and kill President John F. Kennedy? Was the CIA involved? Was it the Soviets? Or was it really aliens? Conspiracies surrounding the former president's death have percolated for more than 60 years. Now, the government is releasing thousands of documents about the assassination – documents which have never been seen by the American public.

Our card this week is Nikole "Niki" Bakoles, the 3 of Hearts from Utah. When duck hunters discovered human remains in an area called Saltair near The Great Salt Lake in Utah in the fall of 2000, investigators began the difficult task of trying to learn the real name of the woman they called “Saltair Sally".  It took 12 years for the remains to be identified as those of Nikole “Niki” Bakoles, a 20-year-old mom originally from Washington state. Now, nearly another 12 years have passed, and investigators are still trying to figure out what happened to Niki and who left her by that lake. Investigators are still looking to talk to anyone who knew Niki Bakoles or Joel Chaudoin in the greater Salt Lake City area in early 2000. If you or anyone you know knew them, or if you have any information about Niki's death, please contact Salt Lake County Sheriff's Detective Ben Pender at 385-468-9816 or bpender@saltlakecounty.gov. View source material and photos for this episode at: thedeckpodcast.com/niki-bakoles Let us deal you in… follow The Deck on social media.Instagram: @thedeckpodcast | @audiochuckTwitter: @thedeckpodcast_ | @audiochuckFacebook: /TheDeckPodcast | /audiochuckllcTo support Season of Justice and learn more, please visit seasonofjustice.org. The Deck is hosted by Ashley Flowers. Instagram: @ashleyflowersTikTok: @ashleyflowerscrimejunkieTwitter: @Ash_FlowersFacebook: /AshleyFlowers.AF Text Ashley at 317-733-7485 to talk all things true crime, get behind the scenes updates, and more!
