This remains a decent way to keep abreast of Utah’s frantic legislative session. It has some good interviews and is very even handed I don’t know what happened this year, but the inclusion of goofy sound effects throughout disrupts the tone and objectively offends the ear. They are too loud and add nothing to the otherwise perfectly straight laced reporting. Either make it a straightforward reporting show or make it a lively commentary with personality and silliness. I could enjoy either. As it is, I have skipped whole episodes because I couldn’t endure the stupid noises punctuating every third sentence

Straightforward, succinct, digestible, and a little fun, too. Appreciate these bite-sized looks into current Utah conditions and issues.

I LOVE listening to Saige and Sean. They make Utah politics accessible, and (believe it or not) fun. The information is digestible and that’s a big plus. #LetSaigeSing

This is an excellent assessment and helpful guide to what is actually happening in the UT Legislature. I tried to listen to other podcasts like the right wing “Political As Heck,” and everybody has a passive/passive glottal stop that is unbearable to listen to.

Keep up the good work ladies of informing the Utah electorate!!

Love this podcast. Makes sense of the legislative session and bills being presented. Keep up the good work!

So helpful for those new to Utah trying to figure out the political scene. Intelligent, concise, funny.

I’m in! Thanks so much for this. Love it

If you care about Utah politics and often scratch your head about how it all works and why….or dare I say even feel frustrated or not represented in the process then this show will really help shine a light on things. You may even get inspired to be more involved!

This was so interesting - I can’t wait for more episodes! Thanks for putting this together - love love love!

A good effort to cover a growing gargantuan, but unfortunately too little. I wish they would spend less time on interviews and more time on analysis of the policy implications of proposed/passed legislation.

I absolutely love listening to 45 days! Not only to I get the inside scoop about what’s going on in the Utah legislature, but Julia and Nicole are just a delight to listen to. Keep up the great work!

This is a great podcast for a weekly update helping me to stay current during the legislative session. They do a great job of touching on the big issues, briefly address some of the more peripheral issues and do so in 19 to 20 minutes allowing me to get a quick complete update. Worth the listen.

Nicole and Julia are the best political reporters in Utah. Hands down.

If you want to keep up with all the big issues coming out of Capitol Hill, you won’t find a better podcast.

I really enjoyed this podcast last legislative session, and have listened again this year because I want to follow what’s going on in the session and contact my representatives about it. But the hosts have a sort of tongue-in-cheek, mocking tone about everything this season that is really hard to take. As a woman I was excited to have two female hosts—I wish they would stick more to a serious journalistic approach instead of this we-are-so-above-it-all tone. Disappointing, as overall I love the idea of the podcast.

45 Days is a much needed resource for a clear, non biased report on Utah Legislation! It’s hard to separate the legalese from the hype & 45 Days does such a great job distilling what’s happening on the Utah Hill & how it impacts Utahns & our family’s!

Good analysis, but 17-21 min is hardly enough time cover what happens each week

Just moved to Utah and wanted to ensure that I was kept up to date on local politics. I am so excited I found this pod cast. I am right now catching up on last years legislative session and I cannot wait to hear this years. Great news, great analysis. THANK YOU!

So glad I found this podcast during the 2017 Utah legislative session. It can be a challenge to keep up with all the debate on bills being considered, so I've relied on 45 Days to keep me informed. The length is of each show is just right, long enough to provide thoughful commentary, but short enough that you can get caught up in one or two commutes. Please keep up the great work KUER, and if possible keep making shows after the session is finished!

Every legislative session, I'm always so confused about what's happening. These are the laws that change our daily lives, so it's important to be informed. Thank you for the clarification each week. I also appreciate getting to know the KUER reporters a bit better. Keep up the good work!

Great perspective on what's happening at the hill. Three cheers for local news! Thanks KUER news team.

Ever since moving to Utah, I've been struggling to make sense of politics in this state. There are podcasts on podcasts on podcasts about national news, but I've been wanting to get more involved at a local level. This podcast is exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you, KUER!!

Really enjoying the additional insight into this years session!

Thoughtful helpful summary of what's going on in the Utah Leg session - great reporting on critical local politics. Always love KUER.
