Demolished Salt Lake is now Demolished Places!
Demolished Salt Lake Podcast is now Demolished Places Podcast!
We’re venturing outside of Salt Lake to include all of Utah.
This gives us the opportunity to bring you even more stories about lost buildings, places and peoples. We’re also expanding our discussions to include more about historic preservation and its importance to our sense of place, collective memories and wellbeing. Episodes will alternate between storytelling and interviews with local and national experts. We’ve been working on this for some time and are excited to finally bring it to fruition. Come along on this new path with us! It’s sure to be a great ride!
If you already subscribe to the podcast, you don’t need to
do a thing. You’ll get new episodes right to your podcast app as usual. Look for a new Demolished Places episode to drop soon! -

Making Salt Lake History Accessible
Just started listening and very excited about the variety of episodes from length of time to topics! It’s neat to be able to listen to the history of one of my favorite cities. The sound quality is also incredible! Thanks Wendy & Demolished SL!
Buildings gone, but not forgotten
Wendy is a natural storyteller. I’ve only listened to a few episodes having recently stumbled upon the podcast but so far I absolutely love hearing the stories and other intangible pieces of the places Wendy so marvelously describes. You don’t have to be a historic preservationist or history buff to appreciate this podcast. Definitely recommend!
A Hidden Gem
The stories of Salt Lake City’s long gone invisible buildings come to life as if they were today’s news.
