Customer Reviews
Nice Work
Nice to see you entering the podcast arena, keep it going.
Entertaining and informative
This podcast is both entertaining and informative. It helps humanize the people making policy and creates an honest but non confrontational environment for discussion around important issues. Would recommend this to anyone curious about the state legislature or hoping to learn more about local Utah politics.
Only for Utahns
If you’re a Utahn and you give a hoot about your representation in the state legislature, this is well worth a listen. Senator Weiler sits down one-on-one with his fellow legislators and has conversations that let you get to know more about them (and him) and what they stand for. Having the senator play interviewer is very relaxed and friendly - it’s not a hardball/softball interview and more like you’re the fly on the wall at a mixer. Episodes are short and frequent so far, with decent production values.
