What do Brigham Young’s flamboyant son, a legendary local gin, the University of Utah, the Huntsman Center, and a web of Mormon architecture all have in common? In this episode, Lindsay and Bryan follow one gloriously weird thread through Utah history, from Madam Pattirini, the stage persona of Brigham Morris Young, to the family empire that helped shape everything from temples to tabernacles to some of the state’s most iconic buildings. It is a wild, funny, deeply Mormon ride through art, performance, inheritance, reputation, and the strange ways one family’s legacy still lives all over Utah.
