SLC Council Member Won’t Run Again, Utah UFOs, and Working Cats

A seat is very likely opening up on the Salt Lake City Council for the 2025 election. Could you be District 5’s new representative? Current Council Member Darin Mano joins host Ali Vallarta and executive producer Emily Means to dish on why he won’t run again — with one caveat — and why he wants you to. Plus, are there aliens in Utah? Also, Emily, Ali, and Council Member Mano share their picks of the week.
