Podcasts about Pioneer Days

Pioneer Day is one of Utah's biggest celebrations, but how much of the Mormon pioneer story is history? And how much is mythology? Frank and Dan take a fresh look at the conflict that drove the Mormons west, why the word "persecution" doesn't tell the whole story, and how the familiar handcart-and-heroism narrative leaves out a lot of the truth. Also this week: preparations begin for the 2,000th anniversary of Jesus' baptism, two Catholic nuns launch an order dedicated to helping survivors of church abuse, the USDA faces a lawsuit over explicitly Christian government emails, a new poll reveals what Jewish Americans think about Israel and Gaza, West Virginia stands firm on school vaccine requirements despite pressure for religious exemptions, and a prominent Black Baptist leader argues that not voting is a sin.

Ethan and Alex recap their Pioneer Day weekends. A firework show at Utah Lake had to be cut short after the barge caught fire. Plus are you tired of making decisions? It’s not just you. And a new trend of “Friendly Fraud” where buyers make a legitimate purchase and dispute the charge. Ethan and Alex continue to watch ongoing coverage of a fire that has broken out near Washington Terrace in Weber County. 

In this heartfelt episode, George Halford sits down with Tena Rogers, whose remarkable life journey spans adoption, faith, family, and a successful career in the country music industry. Tena shares the extraordinary story of being adopted as an infant after a difficult start in life, explaining how the unconditional love of her adoptive parents shaped her future and fueled her passion for advocating for adoption. She also reflects on her decades working alongside country music stars including Kenny Rogers, Lorrie Morgan, Pam Tillis, Tanya Tucker, and Joe Diffie, while emphasizing that faith and perseverance guided every opportunity along the way. Tena opens up about the heartbreaking loss of her longtime partner, singer-songwriter Mark Houser, and discusses how she is carrying on his vision through Americanaville concerts, Pioneer Days in Livingston, and other community projects. Throughout the conversation, she encourages listeners to embrace adoption, cherish family, stay humble, and use their gifts to serve others and strengthen their communities.

Happy Pioneer Day! Pioneer Day is a July 24th holiday that commemorates the arrival of the first group of Latter-day Saint (Mormon) pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley in 1847, and it matters to American history because it captures both the courage of frontier migration and the complicated story of westward expansion, religious freedom, and colonization in the American West.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] ⁠https://www.agiledad.com/⁠- [instagram] ⁠https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/⁠- [facebook] ⁠https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/⁠- [Linkedin] ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

The weather around much of the state looks pretty nice -- and warm -- for the long Pioneer Day holiday weekend. And that means many people are bound to get outdoors. Ahead of the long weekend, we take a few minutes to discuss outdoor safety with Major Steve Bullock with the law enforcement arm of the Division of Outdoor Recreation. He shares tips and guidance so that families can make sure preventable disasters don't come to fruition. Before you get outside for the three-day weekend... let's talk about outdoor safety again.

Fireworks restrictions are back on for the Pioneer Day holiday. Well... kind of. Unlike the 4th of July -- which saw a more blanket ban statewide -- Governor Cox says he'll leave it mostly up to the cities themselves this time around. However, the governor did say he thinks people in Northern Utah should avoid fireworks. But with each city left to do its own thing, could this spell some additional troubles? This fireworks season, we've been speaking with the President of the Utah League of Cities and Towns, Bountiful Mayor Kate Bradshaw, about the restrictions. She joins us again to react to this latest announcement.

Alex is back from vacation and has stories — including a rental car incident and thoughts on saving pool chairs (is it ever OK?). Plus, Gov. Cox eases Utah's default fireworks ban ahead of Pioneer Day, returning the decision to individual cities while the state forester can still restrict high-risk areas. We break down what that means for the 24th. Also: the internet's new obsession — Jimothy, a raccoon with a short spine syndrome who's taken over Seattle (and our feeds).

Amid the annual Days of '47 cattle drive today, Governor Spencer Cox announced a new kind of hybrid fireworks restriction policy for the Pioneer Day holiday. The governor said there will be different kinds of restrictions depending on the area -- that some areas of the state have received enough monsoonal moisture to warrant easing restrictions. But in other areas -- like along the Wasatch Front -- the governor said stricter restrictions are necessary.

I wish I had come up with “Smart Beer”. That's such a funny idea. But some business dick beat me to it. I wonder if I'm losing my fastball. Oh, no, I guess I'm not, because my copy of All The Pain That Money Can Buy is right here on my CD shelf! I'd like to see some Wharton stiff come up with that. But they could never. They probably don't even know that Fastball frontman Tony Scalzo came up with the idea for the song after reading articles that described the June 1997 disappearance of an elderly married couple, Lela and Raymond Howard from Salado, Texas,[6] who left home to attend the Pioneer Day festival at nearby Temple, Texas, despite Lela's Alzheimer's disease and Raymond recently recovering from brain surgery. But I'm smart so I did. Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan.

Buy the Book Wakara’s America: A Historical Perspective Max discussed his new book, “Wakara’s America,” which explores the life and significance of Wakara, a prominent Ute leader in the 1840s. He explained that Wakara was known by different names in various regions, reflecting his extensive travels and interactions with diverse communities. Max, a historian of American religion at the University of Nebraska, shared his fascination with Latter-day Saint history and culture, which led him to research Wakara’s role in the American West and his interactions with early Mormons. He highlighted the need to tell Wakara’s story from his perspective, offering a more nuanced understanding of their complex relationship. Wakara: The Forgotten West’s Thief Max discussed Wakara, a Native American figure from the 1840s who was known as the greatest horse thief of the American West. He enslaved thousands of Paiutes and used his knowledge of the West to create maps that were later used by John C. Fremont and the Latter-day Saints. Max highlighted the importance of Wakara’s contributions to the American West, despite his being largely unknown due to his Native American heritage. Richie expressed surprise at learning about Wakara’s actions and the historical context, emphasizing the need to acknowledge and understand such figures’ roles in shaping history. Understanding Historical Narratives Complexity Max and Richie discussed the complexity of historical narratives, emphasizing the importance of a more nuanced understanding of historical figures and events. Max highlighted the need to recognize the implications of one’s own family history and suggested that acknowledging past actions can lead to better future decisions. They agreed to continue their discussion about the interactions between the Latter-day Saints and Native Americans in the Great Basin and Salt Lake Valley in the next segment. Richie also reminded listeners to contact the Cultural Hall with feedback or suggestions for future guests and discussions. Brigham Young’s Utah Journey Myths Max and Richie discussed the complexities of human beings and the challenges of categorizing individuals as purely good or bad. They explored the origins of the Latter-day Saints’ journey to Utah, focusing on Brigham Young’s Vanguard Company and the mythology surrounding their entry into the Salt Lake Valley. Max explained that while the story of Brigham Young declaring the area to be the “right place” is part of the origin myth, there is no concrete evidence to support this claim. They also discussed Brigham Young’s meeting with Jim Bridger, where Bridger warned about the Utes’ presence in the area, leading to a change in the Mormons’ planned route. Wakara and Brigham Young’s Complex Relationship Max discussed the complex relationship between Wakara, a Native American leader, and Brigham Young, the leader of the Mormons. Wakara helped Brigham settle in the Salt Lake Valley and was invited to the first Pioneer Day celebration in 1849. However, Wakara also used the Mormons to displace his rivals, leading to the extermination of the Timpanogos people in 1850. Max explained that Wakara’s slavery practices were different from the chattel slavery in the American South, as they were more about re-establishing bonds of peoplehood and connection to the land. Despite this, Wakara was baptized a Latter-day Saint in 1850 and led his followers into baptism. Wakara’s Mormon Conversion and Alliances Max discussed Wakara, a Native American leader who was baptized and later ordained as a Mormon priest, which the Mormons viewed as a conversion. Richie questioned whether Wakara’s involvement with the Mormons was a strategic move for power or a genuine conversion. Max explained that Wakara’s adoption of Mormonism was more about forming kinship networks and alliances rather than a complete conversion, and he placed his daughters in Mormon households to strengthen these bonds. Max also highlighted that Wakara’s descendants, including some who may not be aware of their Native American heritage, have been identified through DNA and genealogical research. Brigham Young’s Native American Policies Max discussed the historical relationship between Brigham Young and Wakara, a Native American leader who was among the first Native American priesthood holders in Utah in 1851. He explained how Wacara, despite being illiterate, was given a traveling paper by George A. Smith to trade with Mormon settlers, though this was part of a broader context of Native American slavery and indentured servitude in early Utah. Max argued that Brigham Young’s policies led to conflicts with Native Americans, which he referred to as “Brigham’s War,” rather than the traditionally named “Walker War,” and traced Brigham’s ancestry back to participants in the King Philip’s War, highlighting a pattern of settlers taking Native American land and controlling the narrative of their conflicts. Understanding the Walker War Narrative Max discussed the historical narrative surrounding the Walker War, emphasizing how conflicts are often named after Native Americans despite being initiated by settlers. He highlighted Brigham Young’s role in naming the war and the subsequent peace parlay with Walker, which ended with Walker’s death under mysterious circumstances. Max also touched on the broader themes of American expansionism, the mistreatment of Native American remains, and the potential for a more sustainable and balanced relationship with the land. He expressed hope for a return to indigenous ways of understanding and interacting with the environment, citing recent developments around the Great Salt Lake.

In this episode of the NorthWoods Church Matters podcast, missions pastor Ryan Moore is joined by church membes Eli and Kimberly to reflect on their recent mission trip to Salt Lake City, Utah. Together, they dive into why Utah is such a unique and spiritually urgent mission field, and what it's like to share the gospel in a culture dominated by Mormonism. The conversation highlights key theological differences between evangelical Christianity and the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints—while offering practical insights into how to lovingly engage with LDS friends and neighbors. You'll hear what a typical day on the mission trip looked like, from early breakfasts and canvassing neighborhoods with door hangers, to preparing for block parties, supporting two local churches, and even handing out water bottles during Utah's Pioneer Day parade. As the team reflects on their time in Utah, they talk about moments when they felt especially used by God, the importance of approaching every conversation with both truth and love, and how the experience has changed the way they view evangelism at home.

In honor of Pioneer Day, we're digging into what it really meant to be a pioneer woman—think managing periods and sex on the plains. I also take you on a deep dive into the lives of two prominent women: Jane Elizabeth Manning James and Mary Fielding Smith. Their stories are fascinating, complicated, and, weirdly, involve a lot of oxen. We'll also unpack the emotional gymnastics that come with having pioneer ancestry—and how, ex-Mormon or not, we all have to reckon with the Mormon origin story. Plus, I wrap up with a little life update: how my July break went and a peek into a recent brand trip I got to take. You can listen to the full episode on the Girlscamp: After Dark Patreon here.

This week, we celebrated Pioneer Day here in Utah! And what better way to celebrate than by talking about Trek?I asked for your Trek stories and you delivered! From funny and awkward to meaningful and mildly traumatic, it turns out people have strong feelings about this tradition.My sister and I go through your stories, share our own, and reflect on the purpose of Trek and why it tends to stick with us—for better or worse.

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin wish you all a joyous and/or contemplative Pioneer Day this year, along with the other 364. (Coincidentally, Jeffery Epstein's motto was “Bring ‘em young!”) Many questions remain unanswered following Epstein's untimely demise, but one thing is certain: Donald FN Trump's name is all over the Epstein files, and he knows it. Gops sneak out the back door and hope no one notices. Democrats follow them out and hope everyone notices. Thus, we are only about a week away from Ghislaine Maxwell's mysterious death in, or miraculous release from, prison. Sedation, stat! Donald's meds need to be upped. Tulsi Gabbard makes the US take one for Team Trump. Why supply evidence when the boss says you have proof? Is Trump's treason accusation a confession? Ya figure? Trump pulls a reverse-Jesus and sins so that his followers may live to sin. Gop Mike Lawler will hide in the House, barking, rather than challenge Governor Kathy Hochul. Donald K. Trump is… unpopular, especially among independents, but generally with everyone.

Just in time for Pioneer Day 2025 we are rereleasing our episode on the tragedy of the Willie and Martin handcart companies.On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, Landon gives an excellent presentation on the events surrounding the Willie and Martin Handcart Companies' tragic journey west.This presentation was originally a The Good Book Club episode and we're excited to share this important discussion of these tragic events. For too long, the LDS church's narrative has hidden key details and created an inspiring narrative that doesn't reflect reality.The discussion centers around the excellent book on this topic, "Devil's Gate: Brigham Young and the Great Mormon Handcart Tragedy' by David RobertsThank you so much for watching Mormonish Podcast!***How to DONATE to Mormonish Podcast: If you would like to help financially support our podcast, you can DONATE to support Mormonish Podcast here: Mormonish Podcast is a 501(c) (3) https://donorbox.org/mormonish-podcast ****WE HAVE MERCH! **** If you'd like to purchase Mormonish Merch, you can visit our Merch store here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/mormonishmerch We appreciate our Mormonish viewers and listeners so much!
