Utah Utes Interviews works like a running archive of Utah athletics as heard through ESPN 700’s interview desk. The appeal is not mystery or polish. It is access to the conversations that happen around the program when coaches, local guests, and regular radio voices have time to talk. Recent episodes spend a lot of time on Utah football. Morgan Scalley’s first stretch as head coach is treated as both a football story and a culture story, with questions about leadership, staff movement, spring practice, accountability, roster competition, and what changes when a longtime program figure takes over the whole operation. The football talk can get concrete fast. Spencer Fano, Caleb Lomu, Lander Barton, Dallin Bentley, newcomers, depth-chart clarity, and NFL draft outlooks all sit comfortably in the same lane as broader questions about patience, standards, and continuity after Kyle Whittingham. Basketball has its own steady place. Alex Jensen’s coaches show material looks at Utah men’s basketball through Big 12 matchups, Colorado preparation, Senior Night, and the small mistakes that swing a conference game. Other Runnin’ Utes segments bring in local color, college hoops talk, Oklahoma State, Kansas, BYU-Kansas references, and a little Ogden banter when Sean Mooney is in studio. The feed also reaches beyond the two biggest sports. The Joseph Arrington interview gives University of Utah wrestling serious room, covering NCWA Nationals, the club program’s path, limited resources, and the long personal rebuild behind returning to competition. The structure is old-school radio in a useful way. Questions often carry the setup, the opinion, and the invitation to explain, then the guest takes over. Some episodes include ad reads and station business, but the strongest moments are patient and program-specific. This is Utah sports talk for people who want the extra layer: not just who won, who transferred, or who is starting, but how the people around the Utes explain the work behind it.
Made for: For Utah Utes fans who follow football, men’s basketball, and campus athletics closely enough to care about staff changes, spring reps, Big 12 matchups, and local names. It especially fits listeners who prefer full radio interviews over quick highlight reactions.
What sets it apart: The feed’s strength is its guest-first local access: coaches and Utah-connected voices get space to explain decisions, culture, preparation, and program context in plain terms. It feels closer to a standing beat conversation than a national recap segment.
