Join your host Liz Adeola as we meet fascinating people, visit stunning destinations, and explore hidden gems on a one-of-a-kind journey to uncover what makes Utah special.

In the new stories of This Is Utah, you can look forward to four spectacular stories:

In Skeleton, meet Deyvid Morales, an Olympic hopeful on the path towards representing Mexico in the sport of skeleton—named for its bare-bones sled. Follow him on his journey as both advocate and athlete as he trains in Utah, sledding towards destiny, face-down and head-first.

Learn more about the local linguists serving our country. Every year, the 300th Military Intelligence Brigade—also known as the Linguist Brigade—hosts the Best Linguist Competition, a world-class competition where the best of both civilian and military linguists gather in Utah to compete at the military’s annual Language Conference. Learn what it takes to become a true polyglot and how to keep your language skills sharp.

Sports fans, get ready to cheer. Learn the history of how Utah embraced the most popular sport in the world: professional soccer. Before Real Salt Lake, the Utah Blitzz drew thousands of fans. Though the team was short-lived, it has had a lasting impact on both pro and youth soccer in the state.

Drive down memory lane with us as we revisit State Street’s past and look forward to its future. State Street is undergoing a revitalization project, by transforming eight designs made by local artists into neon signs that will line Salt Lake City’s main corridor. Watch as our host Liz Adeola tries her hand at bending the glass, and meet the artists who have a special connection to each piece in “Life on State” Neon Signs.

This Is Utah celebrates the diverse people, arts, culture, sports, and environments that make Utah a distinctive and delightful place to explore.
