Antelope Island, on the Great Salt Lake, on Tuesday, Sept. 5, 2023.

At 9 a.m. on Friday, Salt Lake Tribune reporters Emily Anderson Stern, Leia Larsen and Peggy Fletcher Stack, along with news columnist Robert Gehrke, join host Utah Public Radio’s Tom Williams to talk about the week’s top stories.
