Tune in to KCPW radio (88.3 FM and 105.3 FM) Friday mornings between 8:30 and 8:45 am and Utah Public Radio (91.5 and 89.5 in Cache Valley and at other frequencies around the state) Friday mornings at 9:30 am and Monday mornings at 7:30 and 8:30 am for the Beehive Archive, a two-minute look at some of the most pivotal—and peculiar—events in Utah history.
Past shows have uncovered some amazing stories including:
the first cremation in Utah history (and only the second in modern U.S. history)
the flag Mormon pioneers flew to celebrate their entry into the Salt Lake Valley (hint: it wasn't the Stars and Stripes)
the 1940s campaign to register non-citizen aliens living in Utah
the car-racing, record-breaking career of one of Salt Lake City's former mayors
With all of the history and none of the dust, the Beehive Archive is a fun way to catch up on Utah’s past.
