  • SLC poet Jesse Parent rounds out our week featuring poets from Utah's Capital City. If you missed it, listen to the archived show to hear "Hotbox Love Test," a poem about farts and oh, so much more, and "To The Boys Who Will One Day Date My Daughter." One thing we learned about Jesse, he loves helping teens get into the slam poetry movement -- in fact, he spent the morning with 300 students at Copper Hills High School in West Jordan. If you'd like him to come to your school, go here: Jesse Parent

  • Venture Academy High School students went to southern Utah to see the landscape for themselves, talk to locals and tourists and record some stories along the way. RadioActive got a report from teacher Claire Wolters and students Shaylynn Wilson, Kenzie "Cake Lover" Hampton, Beth Fitch, and Stockton Mair. Look for a podcast on their adventurers in partnership with Ogden's Banyan Collective.
