Then it’s the Skinny on Sports, featuring a conversation with Park City High School coach Dave Feasler on the Miners program, the season’s biggest moments, and what it takes to build a winning culture in Park City athletics. And we close the show with musical guest Owen Quincy, who joins the campfire for a live performance and a conversation about his music, songwriting, and ties to the local scene.

And high-energy folk-Americana band The Last Wild Buffalo stops by the KPCW studio to share how their friendship-turned-band came together, how their sound took shape on the road, and what listeners can expect from their upcoming record.
