KSL's Inside Sources

If you own a dog, you're probably all too familiar with the awful smell of stinky dog breath. There's a new spray coming out that claims to eliminate your pooch's bad breath, using a spray with ingredients found in molasses. Holly and Greg talk about nasty breath before finishing with Holly's fun facts and Greg's closing arguments.

Today, the United States Department of Justice announced an indictment against former Cuban president Raúl Castro for his involvement in the death of American servicemembers in 1996. Greg and Holly hear parts of the live news conference, then discuss what this indictment actually means for the former leader of Cuba.

Lovers of the "dirty soda" might be glad to have more choices. The style of drink got its start here in Utah, and now national chains are moving into the same world. In case you don't know, a dirty soda is a non-alcoholic creation using soda pop, creamer, flavored syrups, and even fresh fruit. But as chains like McDonald's start offering these drinks, are they doing the original companies... "dirty?"

It sounds a bit like the Tuacahn of Northern Utah -- what do you think? The Osmond family says they will build a world-class concert venue near the mouth of Provo Canyon. This would be on an old mining facility just across Highway 189 from Canyon View Park. There are lots of questions about the development, least of which is the effect of additional traffic on an already-busy stretch of highway. Greg and Holly discuss the plans and read listener comments, too.

Home prices are rising, and with the seasonal changes right now, more buyers appear to be entering the market. Some headlines say the housing market is still sluggish, so we turn to Russell Faucette, owner of the Stern Team at Omada Real Estate, for a deeper perspective.

When water levels drop and the temperatures heat up, it becomes the perfect kind of breeding ground for algal blooms. And as you hit the water for your summer fun, how can you make sure you're keeping your kids AND pets safe from unhealthy water? Environmental Program Manager at the Utah Division of Water Quality, Ben Holcomb, joins Inside Sources to share ways to stay safe in Utah's waterways.

As we approach the end of May -- which is Mental Health Awareness Month -- we continue to take a closer look at our emotional and mental well-being. Utah Valley University is preparing for a major conference on mental health, so Inside Sources takes the chance to talk about the mental health challenges and resources for young adults. Dr. Candida Johnson, Assistant Dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at UVU, explains.

It's no longer a fire season; it's a fire year. With a large fire burning out of control in California right now and virtually no snowpack here in Utah this year, it's going to be a looooong summer here in the West. In this Utah Firewatch segment, Greg and Holly discuss the fire outlook for the next several months. They also share updates on that massive fire in California and a new wildland fire center that's opened here in Salt Lake.

State lawmakers are back on Utah's Capitol Hill today for another day of the interim session. They're set to discuss some really interesting things, including the state's response to the ongoing drought and long-term water infrastructure. They'll also talk about Utah's motorcycle safety laws, distracted driving, and even the humble penny... which is on its way out the door. Greg and Holly give a preview.

Another one bites the dust -- Representative Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) lost his Republican primary last night. Massie hasn't been holding back about his concerns with the Trump Administration, including the Iran War and the Epstein files. Is this a telling sign of the Republican Party today -- support President Trump or your out? It happened to Massie and to Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy, and some in the GOP worry it'll happen in the Texas race for Senate. POLITICO politics reporter Sam Benson joins the conversation.
