‘Behind the Headlines’: A shift in lawmaker strategy, a bill to ban polygraphs, and Sundance updates

Salt Lake Tribune journalists go on the air to discuss the week’s big stories.

A fear of lawsuits shifts Utah lawmakers’ approach to a bill that would restrict access for transgender people. A Utah lawmaker proposes a ban on polygraph tests for those who report sexual abuse. And at the Sundance Film Festival: Kieran Culkin has notes, Christopher Reeve’s children speak, and actors learn to talk sasquatch.

Salt Lake Tribune reporters Emily Anderson Stern, Jessica Miller and culture editor Sean P. Means, along with news columnist Robert Gehrke, will join Utah Public Radio’s Tom Williams on Friday to talk about the week’s top stories.

Every Friday at 9 a.m., stream “Behind the Headlines” at upr.org or tune in to Utah Public Radio for the broadcast. Join the live conversation this week by email to upraccess@gmail.com or X, formerly known as Twitter, @upraccess.
