Utah lawmakers met in a special session this week to push back against new federal protections for transgender students. Executive producer Emily Means joins host Ali Vallarta to break down why lawmakers are gearing up for a fight with the feds and how Salt Lake City’s mayor responded. Plus, SLC restaurants don’t have letter grades, a rock n’ roll camp for kids, and free period products in county libraries.
