Wildfire Season, Drought, And Fireworks On Behind The Headlines

The Salt Lake Tribune

State and local leaders plead with you not to light personal fireworks as Utah's extreme drought persists and the promise of a terrible wildfire season looms. A Utah woman sues her landlord after getting evicted for breaching her contract by 'voicing suicidal thoughts'. And Utah's poet laureate marks a moment in history with a poem about vaccines, hope, and shared humanity. 

At 9 a.m. on Friday, Salt Lake Tribune reporters Taylor Stevens and Courtney Tanner, news columnist Robert Gehrke, and Utah poet laureate Paisley Rekdal join KCPW’s Roger McDonough to talk about the week’s top stories. Every Friday at 9 a.m., tune in to Utah Public Radio for the broadcast. Join the live conversation by calling (801) 355-TALK.
