Very enjoyable Utah-centric pod
With local podcasts, it can be hit-or-miss (mostly misses). Utah Famous proves to be one of rare exceptions — lumping together interesting Utah topics with pretty enjoyable dialog from the two hosts. I’ve learned a lot listening to the pod and have even planned out a few short trips to see some of the sights mentioned.
As other commenters noted, the delivery could be a little better, but I don’t mind rough-around-the-edges podcasting as long as it doesn’t distract too much from the stories and the info they are trying to convey. And listening back to some of the first podcasts, you can tell improvements have been made (both with sound quality and banter) — so it’s only going to get better.
All-in-all, it is a great listen and I look forward to future episodes!
Somewhat entertaining
I was exited to find a podcast about Utah, but after listening to like…some of these episodes….it’s like just seams like….umm like they might not know that much about Utah (the word like does come up a lot 😂)
Wow
On My first podcast, the gentleman slammed homeopathic medicine and chiropractic medicine as well. I’ll just pass….I thought the hosts of an open minded show wouldn’t be so closed minded. Typical Utah mentality that I avoid like the plague. I wish you all the best.
