Straightforward, succinct, digestible, and a little fun

Straightforward, succinct, digestible, and a little fun, too. Appreciate these bite-sized looks into current Utah conditions and issues.

Useful info. Annoying sound effects

This remains a decent way to keep abreast of Utah’s frantic legislative session. It has some good interviews and is very even handed

I don’t know what happened this year, but the inclusion of goofy sound effects throughout disrupts the tone and objectively offends the ear. They are too loud and add nothing to the otherwise perfectly straight laced reporting.

Either make it a straightforward reporting show or make it a lively commentary with personality and silliness. I could enjoy either. As it is, I have skipped whole episodes because I couldn’t endure the stupid noises punctuating every third sentence

Funnest politics podcast in the West!

I LOVE listening to Saige and Sean. They make Utah politics accessible, and (believe it or not) fun. The information is digestible and that’s a big plus. #LetSaigeSing
