Charlie Kirk Case Moves to Trial, SLC’s Apartment Shrinkage, Pride Ride Returns
It’s official: Tyler Robinson will stand trial in Utah for the killing of political activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University last fall. Host Ali Vallarta and City Cast Salt Lake contributors Cassie Bingham and Kate Groetzinger talk about what to expect as the media circus takes shape. Plus, why are Salt Lake City’s new apartments smaller than Manhattan’s? And we share the lore behind a Pride bike ride reclaiming a dark chapter of Utah history.
