🧼 Where to refill your dish soap
April 18, 2025 · Thanks to City Cast Salt Lake podcast host Ali Vallarta for editing this week.
Hey, Salt Lake! Very cool to see a University of Utah employee, Wesley Sundquist, on the Time’s 100 Most Influential People in 2025 list. Sundquist is working with virologist Tomas Cihlar on HIV prevention and treatment.
What's CITY Talking About?
#1 Economy, Eh?
State leaders are doing a victory lap after Utah was awarded the nation’s top economy. Except, the organization responsible for this accolade likes our $7.25/hour minimum wage. [City Cast Salt Lake 🎧]
Salt Lake Extends Shelter Beds
Salt Lake City Council has approved ordinances allowing four homeless shelters to extend wintertime capacity through the summer, addressing the city’s ongoing shortage of emergency shelter beds. [Building Salt Lake 🔒]
