Utah is known for a lot of things. The best snow on earth, five national parks and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, just to name a few. However, among Utah’s most notable things is something most wouldn’t consider: a robust queer community.

That community went unknown to Amanda Madden and Jade Swayne until they started their “queer house experiment,” known as Iowa House. Both facilitators join ‘The Daily Buzz’ to discuss the creation — and intention — of Iowa House.

And, debate season is upon us, which means the primary election is creeping up on Utahns, too. Politics Editor Jeff Parrot explains why this debate season has been more complicated compared to previous years.

Hear all of these stories in the Wednesday, June 1 episode of ‘The Daily Buzz’ podcast. You can listen to both today’s episode and past episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and SoundCloud.
