Hi, I'm Anne Strange Champs.

It's to the best of our knowledge from PRI.

And this week we're bringing you a live show we did a few weeks ago in Salt Lake City.

We were on stage at the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center,

thanks to the great folks at Member Station, KUER.

Hi everyone.

Thank you so much for coming tonight. We are so thrilled to be here in this gorgeous

theater, in your beautiful city, with all of you, public radio friends, fans. It's really, it's a pleasure.

We have never done a stage show before. This is something brand new for us. It feels kind of dangerous.

In a good way. And that's our theme tonight because when we sat down to think about coming out to Utah,

honestly the first thing we thought about was danger.

I mean, I know.

That's probably not the first thing most people think about when they think about Utah.

But seriously, we thought about those 70,000 Mormon pioneers trekking across the plains and through the Rockies was a dangerous

journey made for dangerous ideas. Utah is a place where people come to drive 600 miles an hour.

It's insane. On salt flats to backcountry ski

in avalanche country. I met people here who do that. There are people sitting here who do this.

That also seems insane. There are people who come here who to double flip snowmobiles? What is that?

I mean, where we come from, we think it's dangerous to double park.

Utah is so dangerous.

You guys have a place called Danger Cave.

I looked it up.
