Reporter Peggy Fletcher Stack joins the podcast and talks about her reporting on a recently discovered daguerreotype that could well be of Joseph Smith, the founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. If authenticated, it would be the first photo ever uncovered of the religious leader.

I also share a brief update on how Utah’s U.S. House delegation voted on issues relating to same-sex marriage and access to contraception last week. All four Republicans voted to codify same-sex marriage, while voting against codifying the right to contraceptives in the U.S.

Hear all of these stories in the Tuesday, July 26 episode of ‘The Daily Buzz’ podcast. You can listen to both today’s episode and past episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and SoundCloud.
