This week Curtis was joined by friend of the show and author of Coolest Family Ever, Jessie Harris and UPC researcher Dave McGee.

In hour first hour, the trio take John Swallow to task for either being very deceptive or extremely incompetent - either way, it is clear that the guys were not happy with the recent developments surrounding missing data in the AG's office.

Due to our new and expanded time slot, we are breaking out the podcast into two separate podcasts - the second hour will be available on Wednesday! 

Don’t forget! You can listen to the show LIVE every Saturday morning from 2-4 PM on KTKK AM630, or stream it at www.k-talk.com.

Today's closing song:  Still Alive - GLaDOS and Jonathan Coulton.

UPC Show Episode 49! Calling Out John Swallow

Welcome to this weeks episode of the UPC show!

This week, Curtis welcomes UPC writer Alex Cragun UPC editor Michael Iverson into the studio.

We hope you survived your New Years celebrations. In this episode the crew asks the question: Is Trestin Meacham, the man fasting to ask the state to nullify the federal decision to overturn Amendment 3 disingenuous, stupid, or simply lacking a basic understanding of history and the constitution? Also: is Representative Jacob Anderegg (Republican - Lehi) also lacking a basic understanding of history and the constitution when he proposes legislation such as HJR 1 - Joint Resolution on Religious Liberty?

On the other side of the break, the group discusses the merits of HB 38 - Sustainability Amendments from Representative Patrice Arent (Democrat - Millcreek), HB 31 - Pollution Control Amendments from Representative Ryan Wilcox (Republican - Ogden), HB 11 - Overdose Reporting Amendments from Representative Moss (Democrat - Salt Lake City), and HB 23 - Suicide Prevention Revisions from Representative Eliason (Republican - Sandy).

Don’t forget! You can listen to the show LIVE every Saturday afternoon from 2-3 PM on KTKK AM630, or stream it at www.k-talk.com.

Today's closing song: Auld Lang Syne - Barenaked Ladies

UPC Show Episode 58! Don't Miss the End of the Break

In this week's episode, the boys ask the question: what does Utah have in common with the Great Emu War (yes, that was a thing)? Well, that killing emus and fighting gay marriage in the state is ultimately self defeating. The trio also discuss why SB 100 and HB 240, crating a statewide non discrimination law should pass and raising the gas tax, respectively, should pass. Also, why education is important and how it relates to Provo and Salt Lake becoming the future of our national economy. Finally we ask why Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker making a call for local pollution controls if the state won't intervene.

All this, and the phrase "bubble-butt."

Today's closing song: Prometheus - Will Bedford

UPC Show: Episode 59 - Back to Our Roots

Welcome to Utah Political Capitol! 

Too often our elected officials make choices effecting Utahns’ lives that we never hear about. UPC’s collection of politicos, reporters and bloggers will bring you live political coverage from around the state, and seek to provide greater access for the public.

Who are we? UPC was started in January, 2013 by long-time Utah politicos Eric Ethington and Curtis Haring. Today, UPC’s staff of writers and editors from across the state work to better pry open the doors and better-inform the public as to what their elected officials are doing.
