Leave no trace! When you hit the trails or take to some of Utah's pristine outdoors, do you clean up after yourself? Be honest. Do you ALWAYS pick up your trash? Unfortunately, we know not everyone does. And how do we know? A local hiker recently lugged load after load of garbage off Mount Timpanogos. So much for keeping our environment clean, eh? Greg and Holly finish the show with their own plea for Utahns to keep our outdoors clean.

When it comes to domestic violence, are we counting deaths correctly? Around the country, families are pushing states for more scrutiny when it comes to deaths caused by domestic violence. A lot of times, families say their loved ones' deaths have been ruled as suicides or accidents, and that officials have ignored the role domestic violence may have played in those unfortunate deaths. Greg and Holly have a chat about the growing trends of DV in our communities.

Study after study shows that when women are more involved in making decisions, communities prosper. Whether it's in government or business, or anything else -- the data's there. So how can we better strengthen and promote women here in Utah? The Women's Leadership Institute of Utah recently changed its name to Sego Leadership, and this is the exact kind of thing they hope to address. Jen Hunsaker, Director of Marketing and Communications for Sego Leadership joins the conversation.

Okay for me, but not for thee? That's the vibe Holly is getting from the Trump administration… as they continue to push against vote-by-mail while still allowing the President to vote by mail. The White House is defending the move, saying the SAVE America Act has exceptions in place for Americans to vote by mail due to illness, disability, military, or travel. This has been a personal issue for the President for some time now, and recent Supreme Court decisions don't see to have the President holding back. The continued push has led many states to double down as they defend the way they handle elections.

Remember that tornado warning in Tooele County last week? Turns out the storm that generated that warning did in fact spur a tornado too! It wasn't anything huge -- only an EF1. That's pretty mild, but it could certainly still pack a punch. And this twister did cause some property damage in Skull Valley. At the same time, a firenado was reported in the nearby Rocky Canyon fire. Inside Sources discusses some of the wild weather we've been seeing here in Utah.

There's a growing trend of state Republican Parties adding anti-IVF language to their party platforms. For being the supposed party of families, Holly's confused as to the end goal of these moves. Is surrogacy next? She and Greg discuss the new language and how that could affect a changing familial structure in our country.

When we talk about awful crimes like murder, mental health almost always comes into the conversation. That's the situation going on right now in Massachusetts, where Lindsay Clancy is accused of killing her three children. Her trial is ongoing this week, and the case has really honed in on Clancy's postpartum mental health and this idea of "postpartum psychosis." Greg and Holly share their thoughts on the case, then broaden out the conversation to discuss physical and mental health care for new mothers. They're joined in this discussion by Sarah Hanchett, LCSW, Chief Clinical Officer at Collaborative Care from EvolvedMD.

More school districts are heading back to the classroom today, including Salt Lake City and Nebo school districts. A few other districts are partially going back today, including some students in the Alpine School District, where Holly lives. Her daughter's been feeling a lot of anxiety starting at a new junior high school today, and that has Holly feeling more nervous than ever. Deseret News reporter Jason Swensen spoke with a child therapist to get some tips on how parents and kids can deal with back-to-school jitters; he joins Inside Sources to explain.

Could the anti-incumbent wave sweeping much of the nation finally have reached the shores of Utah? New data from the Deseret News and the Hinckley Institute of Politics found that some of Utah's top political leaders -- including Governor Cox, Senator Mike Lee, and Senator John Curtis -- have all seen some pretty significant approval drops. For more insights on the polling and what it says about our current views of our elected officials, political reporter at the Deseret News Brigham Tomco joins the show.

So many outstanding questions remain this morning… following that deadly shooting outside a funeral service in Kearns. But Holly's biggest question: is no place sacred anymore? While the shooting wasn't inside a church -- it was right outside -- do we not hold things like funeral services as sacred anymore? Police haven't said a whole lot, other than the number of victims involved. They also released some information this morning on a 45-year-old man they have taken into custody on suspicion of being involved. Greg and Holly turn to Greg Rogers, retired FBI agent and criminal justice instructor at Utah Valley University to get his take on this kind of violence and what we can do to help bring down the temperature.

One Utahn is breaking records on his bike, averaging 30 mph for 200 miles! Matthew Lefthand tells the Deseret News that he hopes to complete a 24-hour cycling record next year too. We turn to our own cycling expert, Greg Skordas, for a chat on the significance of this milestone.

It's been a bit of a heavy show today -- a lot of crime and drama. So let's finish the show with something a little more positive: nonprofits. In fact, today is National Nonprofit Day! What kind of impact do nonprofit organizations have in our state? We turn to the CEO of Utah Nonprofits Association, Jill Bennett, for a chat on the state of Utah's nonprofit industry.

This morning, a Utah advocacy group filed an official complaint with the Federal Trade Commission against the state of Utah. The complaint says that the Utah Office of Energy Development engaged in false and deceptive advertising about nuclear energy. The group HEAL Utah -- along with several other groups -- says that the state's ads that make claims about nuclear energy and things like bananas are blatantly false, and they want the FTC to step in.

What's the line between child abuse and child torture? It's an awful question, but one we have to ask. Today, a man charged with several felony counts of child torture for taking his kids on a hike in a winter storm appeared in court. The three children were severely injured in the hike -- two of them critically -- and had to be rescued from the wintry weather. Now, Micah Smith is asking the court to allow him to contact his three children, who were 2, 4, and 8 at the time of the incident.

Could this be the beginning of the end for Meta? The social media giant has faced lawsuit after lawsuit, and they keep losing. This week, a case in California goes to trial. Legal experts say it could mean the end for the parent company of Facebook and Instagram. In this edition of "Ask the Attorney," KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas explains what makes this case so unique… and potentially so devastating.

Get this: you need a copy of your birth certificate, but the state won't give you a copy because it's missing your first and middle names. And despite applying over and over for a corrected copy, no dice -- the state still says no. That's the situation a Utah man recently found himself in, until he turned to the Governor's office for help. But now, the programs are plaguing the man's brother and wife. KSL Investigator Daniella Rivera joins us in the studio to talk more about this interesting situation.

One year ago, Utahns of all walks of life took a collective pause -- a moment to catch our breath. On August 17, 2025, two law enforcement officers in the small northern Utah town of Tremonton were gunned down and killed. The tragedy rocked the small Box Elder County community. Thousands turned out in the coming days and weeks to mourn and honor Sergeant Lee Sorenson and Officer Eric Estrada. Inside Sources takes a few minutes to remember the sacrifice of these two brave men.

Things could get a little interesting down in Eagle Mountain. The city council will vote on a 183% property tax increase tomorrow. And just last week, we learned that more than 700 people will soon be out of a job when Tyson Foods closes its beef processing facility in the city. When they announced the closure, Tyson Foods said it was due to an historic cattle shortage. Either way, it feels like a one-two punch for folks living in one of the fastest-growing regions in the state.

A dad and son from southern Utah are eating their way through every county in the state… on a Mexican food road trip. 12-year-old Carson Palma and his dad Jake are from Monticello, and say their limited choices in Mexican food there led them to this idea. Now, they're visiting each one of Utah's 29 counties with a singular goal in mind: eat Mexican food in each county. The Inside Sources hosts discuss the trip and hear from listeners who share the restaurants they think the duo should not miss!

Nearly half of non-retirees in America say they're skeptical that they'll ever be able to fully retire. Many of them cite artificial intelligence, rising costs, and continued economic uncertainty as the reasons for their doubts. Greg and Holly share their concerns about impending retirement and discuss the findings of a new report with Shane Stewart, certified financial planner with DMBA.

President Trump says he wants to substantially reduce joint military exercises with South Korea because of his very good relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. He says North Korea has been unthreatening and respectful the entire time he's been president and that it's inappropriate and hostile to send a message of strength and unity with our ally South Korea. He also says the move is because South Korea hasn't helped in the war with Iran. Greg and Holly have a lot of concerns with this kind of international political move; they explain.

After nearly a year and a half, police have finally made an arrest in the deaths of a Saratoga Springs woman and her son. Jessica Orton Lyman and her son, Eli Painter, were found shot in their home back in March 2025. Police say they've arrested a 16-year-old, but haven't given any other information. Why did this arrest take so long, and why won't police say who they've arrested, even though they've spoken about this supposed teen several times before? Inside Sources breaks it down.
