Speak Your Piece
A Podcast About Utah's History
Season 4 | Hosted by Brad Westwood | Senior Public Historian | Utah Dept. of Culture & community Engagement
The past is never truly “in the past.” It’s all around us, it informs us. It speaks to our shared and to our separate identities. “Speak Your Piece (SYP)” is a podcast where contributors share their insights and discoveries about Utah's 12,000 year (plus) human story. Hosted by Brad Westwood, Senior Public Historian (Dept. of Culture & Community Engagement), a new episode is released every other week, sometimes more, sometimes less. / SYP explores the key arguments within a new or worthwhile older publication, article or website; or delves into a notable museum, archival collection, archaeological report; or allows a respected writer, curator or historian to speak freely, sometimes about difficult history. Speak Your Piece seeks to tell a history you may not have heard before.
