True crime, aliens — and booze
The podcast “And That’s Why We Drink” is dedicated to the paranormal and true crime — and, as the name suggests, drinking while hosts Christine Schiefer and Em Schulz talk comedically about those things. The show is on tour, landing for a show Thursday at The Depot, 13 N. 400 West, Salt Lake City. The show starts at 7 p.m., is limited to those 21 and older, and is sold out.
