There’s a new addition to Salt Lake City’s Ninth and Ninth neighborhood — and it’s hard to miss. A big, colorful whale protrudes from the middle of the roundabout, but not everyone in the area is pleased by the mammal’s presence.

Culture Editor Sean Means and Culture Reporter Palak Jayswal join the podcast to break down how the whale got there and the controversy surrounding its debut.

And two Utah Republicans are displeased with Yale Law School. Utah Senator Mike Lee and Attorney General Sean Reyes are calling on the University to punish students who temporarily disrupted an event featuring conservative lawyer Kristen Waggoner.

Hear all of these stories in the Wednesday, April 13, episode of ‘The Daily Buzz’ podcast. You can listen to both today’s episode and past episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and SoundCloud.
