  • KSL Brightside Afterparty: Let's talk Star Wars, Sky Babies & Social Signals
    Ethan and Alex are back from the Nightside Project with the new KSL Brightside. It’s May the 4th, so Michael brings the Star Wars props, before the crew jumps into eye‑catching travel headlines: a cruise ship hit with hantavirus concerns, a baby born two months early at 30,000 feet, and a United flight forced into an emergency over an unruly passenger—with a nod to the ghost of Spirit Airlines along the way. Plus, a Wall Street Journal conversation starter on comfort vs. quality of life, a psychologist’s take on the pursuit of happiness, health‑class real talk, and overthinking body‑language myth.

  • Ethan Goes to Disney, How Australia Lost the War against the Emu

    Ethan Millard and Alex Kirry jump on together for a quick episode before Ethan heads to Disneyland where he forces his children to pay their own way.  Millard then launches into a story not for the faint of heart if you are a large bird lover as details emerge as to how the Australians have had to fight to defeat the mighty emu over the past several decades.  Finally, a #zenheadline that features two collegiate athletes who have found their niche in the NIL market earning hundreds of thousands of dollars for their massive social media presence as athletes.  Ethan defends the bureaucracy that is the NCAA. Of course, he does.

  • Packs of Coyotes, a Meatloaf and Loving Thy Neighbor (kinda)

    Ethan Millard and Alex Kirry get together for their weekly session of news bytes, stupid rants, and Tom Cruise shenanigans.  Alex compares Elon Musk to Willy Wonka, Ethan is approached at a local grocery store about how many coyotes he could kill if he was attacked by a pack of them and Amazon Prime is streaming the Mission Impossible movies, which Alex finds impossible to stomach. 

    A #zenheadline featuring a challenge from a gym owner to shovel your neighbor's walkways and a local Salt Lake City donut shop is opening a location near Alex's house and it's going to be a real problem for his diet.  Don't worry, Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall gives herself an 'A' for her grade on Mayor-ing last year.

  • Hey! Alex and Ethan are back.... What have they been up to?

    Alex Kirry and Ethan Millard defy all odds and are back to posting episodes once a week for the Nightside Project on the KSL Podcast Network because they are slaves to the man(Sheryl)! 

    With the upheaval of both Ethan and Alex's work worlds, the boys catch up on what's been going on since KSL and Bonneville acquired The Zone Sports Network and Alex has to work full-time as a Sports Talk Show Host.  Ethan rolls out a #zenheadline in true fashion from a 10-year old story of a dog dying (thanks, Ethan).  Stay tuned as the guys will drop weekly episodes going forward now that things have settled down a little in both of their worlds.  Plus, a walk down memory lane when KSL let Nightside into the building for the first time all those years ago and they proceeded to break things in the office because they treated it like a frat house.  Not much has changed.

  • Tammy and Chad Daybell Murder Charges and 90's Fashion

    Ethan Millard and Alex Kirry have now lived to watch the waist height of pants go down. all the way up, all the way down and all the way back up again.  This saddens them both as its just another indicator on how little they know about fashion and how old they are.  Plus, new charges surface for Chad and Lori Daybell, the Idaho couple charged with the death of Tylee Ryan and her brother JJ Valow.  Not only are there 1st degree murder charges in the deaths of Lori Daybell's kids, Chad's wife Tammy was also found to be murdered after a new autopsy and they have also been charged with the same 1st degree murder chagres of Tammy Daybell.  Why does the nation, and Utah in particular love these murder stories so much?

  • Tales of Mother Day

    Ethan Millard and Alex Kirry start off the program with tales of Mother's Day 2021 when Ethan made the bold move of just leaving his wife home for the weekend by herself.  He claims that it was his gift to her, not having to be around the kids and him for 3 whole days while Alex makes the argument that it's just another Valentine's Day-type holiday filled with pressure.  Plus, Alex encounters his first Karen in the wild who laid down a profanity laced, anti-mask tirade at a poor Costco greeter.  Grab the popcorn and enjoy the show.
