Soundwaves Host JP interviews musician and composer Crystal Young-Otterstrom about the collective, followed by a sampling of her music. Next, SLUG writer Ben Trentelman sits down with the Executive Director of Local First Utah, Michelle Thompson, about the organization and how you can shop local for the holidays this year. Keeping in the holiday spirit, SLUG writer Chris Proctor talks to the founder of the SLC Photo Collective (and SLUG photographer) Dave Brewer about the annual Help Portrait event.
