RadioACTive's Valene MC attended the Fight the Oligarchy Tour in SLC on Sunday. While she didn't make it inside (along with 5,000 other folks), she talked with people about their reasons for being there, and the surprisingly bipartisan nature of the crowd.

Will the sainthood of Italian teen Carlo Acutis draw young Utah Catholics to the pews? RadioACTive talks with Rev. Gustavo A. Vidal of St. Rose of Lima Parish in Layton about the canonization of the faith's first millennial saint.
