On this week’s episode we’re looking at Provo with three of its biggest hotspots. First up, SLUG writer Alex Springer chats with Bleu Adams of Black Sheep Cafe about the restaurant; then, SLUG writer Blake Leszczynski chats with Jeffrey Blake of the Echo Theatre about their space; and finally Leszczynski walks next door to chat with Kaneischa Johnson of Velour to talk about the successful music venue. Plus, we sample some of the latest music from Utah County with tracks from indie-folk bands The National Parks and Officer Jenny. Jeffrey Steadman from Yelp will be back in the studio next week, talking Tibetan food, and we’d like to hear what your favorite places to grab a bite are. Call our automated voicemail line at 858-233-9324 and tell us your thoughts. You may get played on the show!
