- Utah announces age verification law enforcement for adult websites
- Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Explaining the RECA fund
- Halloween fun on Inside Sources
- Previewing this week's big movie: Everest

Inside Sources finishes up the week by checking in with the hosts of the KSL Movie Show, Val Cameron and Andy Farnsworth. They discuss the big movie of the week, Everest: The Other Side. They also chat about the passing of actor Patrick Stewart and share their favorite Halloween movies.

We're celebrating Halloween a day early on Inside Sources! Holly's the only one on the team who dressed up, but that doesn't mean we can't have some fun. First, we talk with our friends from the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, hotdoggers All Beef Aiden and Lucky Dog Lauren. They join us from Southern Utah, where they're surprising parties and trick-or-treaters for "Halloweenie." Then Inside Sources executive producer Andy Cupp joins to talk about his favorite Halloween traditions.

For years, Utahns who had health issues resulting from the nation's nuclear testing in the West struggled to get help and support. Recently, the eligibility expanded and now many more people are eligible for help under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month; we've talked about it a few times. But we've had several people reach out to us wanting us to talk more about the RECA fund and how it works. For more on this, we turn to Mary Dickson, an award-winning writer, downwinder, and thyroid cancer survivor.

Utah's fight against adult sites continues this morning. Today, the State of Utah is announcing enforcement action for its age verification laws dealing with websites featuring adult content. It's a continuation of Senate Bill 73 from the last legislative session, which has spurred lawsuits from the adult film industry that claimed Utah's law was too vague and overreaching. To help break down the law and what the state's doing to enforce it without running against the federal judge's decision, Holly and Greg chat with State Senator Calvin Musselman -- who sponsored the original bill -- and Commissioner Margaret Busse with the Utah Department of Commerce.

It's the final countdown -- just four days to go until Election Day! If you've looked at your ballot this year, you probably noticed several third-party or unaffiliated candidates running for office. We've really focused on the top contenders in those races, which generally are the Republicans and the Democrats. But with a rising number of other candidates, it got us wondering about the motivation. We know that unaffiliated voter registration is up in the state... but we also know that loyalty to Republican candidates remains high statewide. So why a continued push for these other candidates?

Greg and Holly also break down new polling numbers that say a Democrat-controlled Congress is all but certain.

How fast you walk could indicate how long you’ll live! Well, kind of. New research says that people who walk faster tend to live longer. Inside Sources wraps up today’s show with a discussion on a new health study reported in Healthline.

Chants and trash talk are all too common in sports games. But when the attacks turn personal — whether about someone’s race, ethnicity, or religion, it crosses a line. BYU’s sports teams have long been the targets of expletives yelled at them and members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But it’s really amplified as the Cougars joined the Big 12 Conference. Now, following an incident at UCF last weekend, the Big 12 is cracking down in a big way. KSL Sports BYU Insider Mitch Harper joins the conversation.

Just a few years ago, Tyler Ryan and JJ Vallow disappeared. They were later found murdered, and their mother and her husband were convicted. But during the investigation, it came out that these murders weren’t the beginning — the story had begun years before with now-deceased spouses of both Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell. This is the focus of a new podcast released by KSL today called Deceived: The Daybell Story. For insights into this podcast and what it covers, Greg and Holly speak with Nate Easton, news director of East Idaho News and the host of the new podcast.

The senate race in the country’s coldest state is heating up in some really interesting ways. This morning, the governor of Alaska order an investigation into claims of Democratic involvement in getting another Dan Sullivan on the ballot to run against the incumbent, Senator Dan Sullivan. A New York Times investigation now claims that Democratic challenger Mary Peltola’s team was involved in the scheme. Also, Democrats nationwide are now looking at new potential battleground states in the race for Senate, including Florida, South Carolina, and Mississippi.

In this segment, the Inside Sources hosts break down the less controversial of the two amendments on Utah’s ballots this election: Amendment A. This amendment changes the publication requirements for proposed constitutional amendments — removing a 60-day newspaper notice that is currently required per the state constitution. Greg and Holly explain the proposal and share insights on both sides of the issue.

As we get closer to Election Day, Inside Sources is interviewing candidates running in Utah's biggest races. In this edition of Meet the Candidate 2026, hosts Holly Richardson and Greg Skordas speak with the Republican candidate for Utah's 4th Congressional District, incumbent Representative Mike Kennedy. He answers questions about his campaign, his top priorities should he be re-elected, and why he thinks he's the one to continue giving CD-4 a voice in Congress.

Producer note: Democratic candidate Jonny Larsen was interviewed last week about his campaign. The full interview can be found on the KSL YouTube page. 

With just a few days left to go until Halloween, Greg and Holly talk about safety around trick-or-treating. And get this — the night after Halloween — from the 31st to November 1st — is when our clocks fall back for Daylight Saving. Will that affect anyone’s Halloween plans?

Utah homeowners are struggling to keep their homeowners insurance policies, often through no fault of their own. New data from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners says Utahns are losing their insurance coverage at a higher rate than homeowners in any other state. The KSL Investigates team dug into the numbers and spoke with the state insurance commissioner to find out why.

The fight between Utah and Kalshi has now turned criminal. Utah Attorney General Derek Brown filed criminal charges against the prediction market platform and some of its executives. It comes just days after the U.S. government and the FTC sued Utah to stop the state’s ban on Kalshi. At the same time, we’re reading that AG Brown’s political campaign took donations from the gambling industry, including some of Kalshi’s competitors. Does that complicate the existing suits?

Also, there’s a new warning from the CEO of Draft Kings about the dangers of online gambling — including sports betting — for our teenagers. Gambling might be illegal in the state of Utah, but that doesn’t mean we’re immune from the negative effects of gambling. For more on a conversation on teenage gambling addiction and how to avoid it, Greg and Holly turn to Gregory Noel, LMFT; he’s the co-founder and clinical director of In Solidarity Counseling.
