Stacey & Greg Kratz -- REPEAT

This week we’re repeating a fun and interesting conversation from February that we had with Stacey and Greg Kratz – who’ve had decades-long careers in Utah journalism, most significantly at the Standard-Examiner and Deseret News, but lots of other outlets, too, and you’ll hear about those during our conversation. Mark and I got to know the Kratzes way back in the Land Before Time, and we’ve always had enormous respect for their talents and their personalities. So, we think you’ll get a kick out of this one – we sure did.
