MGN Show - Running Legend, Bart Yasso

Running Legend Bart Yasso on Mr. Goodyear's Neighborhood LIVE during the Zion's Bank Ogden Marathon's Altra Expo. The Chief Running Officer for over 40 years with Runner's World Magazine expressed his views on the Ogden Marathon, community involvement, his life as an endurance athlete, and perhaps one day a return to Comrades, South Africa. The inventor of the Yasso 800 let's us know how many time people say his name in vain. He doesn't just run either, he's crossed the United States twice solo on a bicycle with his wallet as his only support. 

Van Sessions - Brooke Mackintosh

Season 1 Episode 3 of #VanSessions kicked off with local multi-instrumentalist Brooke Mackintosh! Brooke left her Utah home in 2006 for San Diego to pursue her dream of becoming a full-time musician. After releasing two albums in San Diego, Brooke has since returned to her mountain roots charming all who are privileged to hear her sultry voice. 
Playing mostly by ear, Brooke defines her music as a fusion of Pop/Jazz/Folk and Blues, or as she calls it, "Mountain Soul."

MGN Show - Caitlin Gochnour, Weber County Commission Candidate

Are you aware Weber County’s ‘rainy day’ fund
has been depleted?  The next question is
obvious…what happens if it rains?  The
truth is, now is not the time for ‘Game
of Thrones’ type of political maneuvering currently being played in our county
leadership.  As Kym Buttschardt puts
it, "we need a fresh, calm and educated
voice in our county government. ‘Caitlin
Gochnour is just what Weber County needs, ‘A Fresh Perspective.’"

Ogden Outdoor Adventure Show 236 - This is Why Doves Cry

Honoring the man who loved purple, OOA Show 236 features a Prince theme while covering local outdoor adventure events, news, worth watching videos, worth reading articles, and gear. We played some clips of Prince music in the background that I bought off of iTunes which he is dominating right now despite his distaste of streaming services. So in honor of Prince, please note, all his music is copyrighted and owned by the late Prince and we are playing in remembrance. Please don't sue. :)
