Helmet laws change for e-mobility devices -- are you prepared?
Hundreds of thousands of kids are back in the classroom right now, and many of them are probably using things like bikes or scooters to get to school.

Law enforcement and state safety officials say now's the time to remind people of the changes. So what do you need to know to make sure your kids and grandkids get to and from school safely... and legally? The hosts chat with Jason Mettmann, Communications Manager for the Utah Highway Safety Office.

Utah-based Huntsman Cancer Institute helps in development, testing of breakthrough drug for pancreatic cancer
It's always nice to finish the week off with positive news. And when it comes to cancer, any developments in treatment deserve applause. This week, we learned that the FDA has approved a drug that has been shown to extend the median overall survival for people with advanced pancreatic cancer... by nearly double. We also learned that Utah's top cancer research center in the state -- the Huntsman Cancer Institute -- played a critical role in the development and testing of this drug. We bring in an expert for more information: Dr. Conan Kinsey, a gastrointestinal oncologist with Huntsman Cancer Institute who focuses on pancreatic cancer.

Jury deliberations continue for Lindsay Clancy
This morning, the jury deliberations continue in the triple murder case for Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts woman charged with killing her three children. Defense attorneys say she was suffering from postpartum psychosis, but did the jury buy it? In fact, the jury requested to examine two pieces of evidence again today -- what does Greg make of that? We also hear from Clancy's attorney, who says his client is anxious about the jury's looming decision.

President Trump's order on mail-in voting hits yet another snag
Another day, another hiccup for President Trump's executive order on mail-in voting. Overnight, another federal judge blocked the order from going into effect, saying it's too close to the midterm election for states to get everything in order. So what the heck is actually happening? Greg and Holly break it down.

Two vacancies on the Utah Supreme Court may soon be filled, after Governor Spencer Cox announced his picks to replace Justice Diana Hagen and Chief Justice Matthew Durrant, both of whom have or are in the process of resigning. Today, the Governor announced that he will nominate Judge Matthew Bell and Michael Menssen. The two will now go through the Senate confirmation process.

Not for sale: Persistent would-be homebuyers create nuisance for homeowners
Persistent offers to buy homes not on the market are ramping up, and homeowners are getting pretty fed up with it. These potential buyers are going out of their way to text, call, email, and send regular mail to homeowners, often offering to buy the home quickly or even for cash. The would-be buyers are even going to family members of homeowners -- casting a wide net to get any kind of bite. KSL Investigator Matt Gephardt dug into the issue to try and find out if these are scams and to see just how big of a problem this actually is. Inside Sources executive producer Andy Cupp has had his own problems with these offers; he joins Greg and Holly to share his experience.

100+ tech companies pen letter calling on government to enact more protections against rogue AI
More than 100 tech companies are now joining in on an open letter warning about the potential dangers of AI. What's so interesting about this is that many of these companies are the same ones developing AI. In the letter, they warn that AI-powered cyberattacks are on the verge of becoming far more widespread and far more sophisticated. They urge governments to do more to protect the most vulnerable, like hospitals and utilities. But here's the big question from the Inside Sources hosts: why can't those AI companies work together to create boundaries and safeguards? Why do they need the government to do it?

South Salt Lake restaurant named state's first to get a Michelin star
Forget the fry sauce and the burgers with pastrami... Utah has officially entered the fancy-food era. South Salt Lake’s Monte just became the first restaurant in Utah to earn a Michelin star. So… does that mean we have to start calling it “gastronomy” instead of dinner? Eh… only if you can pronounce “gastronomy.”

The fight over mail-in voting continues
Several Democrat-led states have filed another lawsuit against the Trump Administration over the President's push for more restrictions on voting by mail. This week, the Supreme Court ruled that the states that had sued the administration sued too early. And the U.S. Postal Service has also announced their rule changes to implement the President's executive order. At the same time, a recent audit of voter rolls in Weber County turned up some news that'll hopefully help people have more faith and confidence in the electoral system. Greg and Jim discuss both.

Bryan Kohberger granted new hearing as he works to cancel his guilty plea
The man who pleaded guilty to four murders near the University of Idaho has been trying to go back on his plea. Now, he may get the chance. We're learning that Bryan Kohberger will get a new hearing to see about reneging on his guilty plea. But the hearing isn't scheduled until June 2027. Again, we ask our legal analyst the question: why is everything being scheduled so far out?

Republicans face increasing pushback on President Trump's support for data centers
We still have a few months left in the year, but it feels like the story of the year here in Utah will be data centers. And we're not alone; the pushback on data centers exists nationwide and across party lines. In fact, the Republican opposition to data centers continues to grow pretty quickly, and it's putting President Trump in a precarious situation.

Utah Drought: Church issues guidance, updates on reservoirs, and how the drought's affecting wildlife
In this deep-dive, Inside Sources host Greg Skordas and guest host Jim Bennett discuss several aspects dealing with the ongoing drought that's plaguing both Utah and the rest of the West. In this special coverage, they discuss: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' recent statement on the drought, encouraging members to take both personal steps and support public efforts to conserve water. How the drought has added additional strain on our reservoirs and whether or not the monsoonal moisture we've received has helped. They're joined in the studio by Laura Haskell, drought coordinator with Utah Division of Water Resources. The effect of the drought on wildlife. With hunting season starting soon and bear encounters doubling this year, the drought has been pushing more wildlife to find food and resources in different places. Faith Heaton Jolly, PIO at the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, joins the conversation.

Judge rules that Douglas Carter must submit to a DNA test
A man who spent decades on death row -- but had his conviction overturned -- will stay in jail as he awaits a new trial, at least for now. The judge didn't rule on bond for Douglas Carter yesterday, but he did rule that Carter must submit to a DNA test. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas explains the DNA test and why it matters now, knowing that DNA testing technology didn't exist at the time of Carter's alleged crime.

Celebrating burgers with the question: what's the one topping that ruins a good burger?
Here in Utah, we love our burgers. With the number of Greek-owned burger joints in the area, you might think meat was our favorite condiment! In honor of National Burger Day, the Inside Sources hosts discuss a controversial topic… on which topping ruins a burger. Greg thinks it's pineapple, but guest host Jim Bennett says nothing can ruin a good burger. Our listeners chime in on the KSL text line and our social media page.

Self-proclaimed 'mastermind' behind 9/11 terror attacks to finally face trial
A man who allegedly claimed to be the mastermind behind the terror attacks on September 11, 2001, will finally get his day in court. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed has been in government custody since 2003 -- and held at Guantanamo Bay since 2006 -- but he's never had a trial. He's been waiting for more than 20 years now, and he'll have to wait two more years. Greg tries to understand why the judge over the case said a hearing in 2027 was too soon.

Nepal deals with devastating flash floods caused by glacial collapse; could Utah see a similar situation?
Absolutely devastating video coming out of Nepal right now, following catastrophic flooding in the Himalayan country. The massive floods are now thought to have come following an earthquake, which prompted a glacial collapse and debris flow. Unfortunately, the risk of additional flooding remains today. And now, we're also learning about some similarities with our own mountains and glaciers here in Utah -- a bit of an unsettling connection.

Timpanogos School District board votes in favor of school closure study
One of the districts that will come from the dissolution of the Alpine School District next year will move ahead with studies of 13 schools, as the newly-formed Timpanogos District mulls potential school closures. 3 junior high schools and 10 elementary schools will be studied, with final closure decisions expected later this year. The school board voted in favor of the studies last night, but it didn't come without concerns from parents and community members. Greg and guest host Jim Bennett speak with Tyler Vigue, director of communications with the Timpanogos School District, which covers the areas of Orem, Lindon, Pleasant Grove, and Vineyard.
