An author, W.L. George published an article in 1922 predicting what life would look like in 2022. While some of his predictions were spot on, others totally missed the mark.

Culture reporter Palak Jayswal joins “The Daily Buzz” to break down the futuristic predictions and how they aligned with one Utah man that’s lived through it all.

Also, we take a trip down Utah history lane with Tribune reporter Kaitlyn Bancroft. Her latest story focuses on a phonetic alphabet created by early Latter-day Saints in Utah.

Hear all of these stories in the Tuesday, May 3, episode of ‘The Daily Buzz’ podcast. You can listen to both today’s episode and past episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and SoundCloud.
