City Cast Salt Lake

This weekend is General Conference for the Salt Lake City-based, global religion, and a recent Instagram post elicited thousands of comments by frustrated women members. Cynthia Winward, co-host of the At Last She Said It Podcast, joins host Ali Vallarta to give an on-the-ground analysis of how women in the church are feeling and where this sentiment could lead Utah.
