Cal Grondahl -- REPEAT

Explicit content warning

09/21/21 • 70 min

This week we thought it would be fun to repeat an episode from December 2020 with Calvin Grondahl, without a doubt the king of Utah editorial cartoonists. Cal began his career at BYU, was hired by the Deseret News and later fled to the Standard-Examiner in the quest for some freedom to draw what he wanted. Mark and I worked with Cal for many, many fun and eventful years at the Standard-Examiner, and remember those decades fondly. Cal’s now retired, and has been for a number of years, but he shares lots of stories about what it was like to be the cartoonist who broke ground for all those who followed.

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.

Morgan Saxton -- REPEAT

This week we're repeating our September 2020 conversation with KUTV reporter Morgan Saxton, who near the start of her career worked with Mark at the Standard-Examiner. In retrospect, it’s been quite a year for Morgan, who not long after this interview revealed she was expecting her first child and has since given birth to her beautiful daughter, Charlotte.
