Utah: This is the place… for Fans!

The “Utah Fan Culture” podcast and blog highlight Utah’s unique place in storytelling, arts, and entertainment — as well as the fans that support them.

Utah is unlike any other state due to its clash of conservative and liberal arts scenes, as well as a stunning variety of natural locations showcased at museums, venues, conventions, filming locations, historic landmarks, and more. That, coupled with community support, as Utah is ranked #1 for live arts participation per capita, showcases that “This is the place… for fans!” Even TIME declared it the Nerdiest State of the Union in 2014.

At Utah Fan Culture, former KSL’s “Fan Effect Podcast” host and producer, KellieAnn Halvorsen, continues her work showcasing fans, fandoms, and fantastic storytelling through reviews, interviews, and event spotlights.

“That’s the wonderful thing with nerds: they’re enthusiasts. Not having a life means you get to love things with a passion and nobody bothers you about it.”
