Is a new generation rediscovering faith or is the data telling a different story? Despite claims of a religious revival among young Americans, national research from the Pew Research Center shows religious participation among Gen Z remains largely unchanged. In A Return to Faith, host Maria Shilaos explores the gap between statistics and lived experience. Through conversations with faith leaders and young adults across multiple religious traditions, this hour-long KSL NewsRadio special examines why some Gen Z Americans are returning to church, synagogue, or sanctuary — and what continues to inspire faith in an increasingly secular America.

As immigration enforcement intensifies nationwide, this one-hour special brings listeners inside the lives shaped by immigration policy in Utah -- those who support enforcement, those who defend it, and those who live under its weight. Hosted by Inside Sources’ hosts Greg Skordas and Holly Richardson, this KSL NewsRadio special examines the calls for stronger enforcement alongside the lived realities of immigrants and refugees in Utah. From families afraid to leave their homes to those rebuilding their lives, at what point does enforcement go too far? Through multiple perspectives, the hosts explore whether enforcement and compassion can coexist – and who pays the price when they don’t.

Throughout the human experience, there are several kinds of emotions we all experience at one time or another. One of the hardest emotions to process and work through is grief.

In this special, KSL NewsRadio’s Maria Shilaos speaks with mental health experts about grief: the stages, how to process it, and how it can help us grow. She also discusses grief from a spiritual perspective, speaking with a religious leader to learn how faith can assist a grieving person.
Guests on this KSL NewsRadio special include Allan Pauole, clinical mental health counselor with Revere Health; Dr. Ben Christiansen, clinical neuropsychologist with Ogden Clinic; and Father George Nikas, Cathedral Dean of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Salt Lake City.

When parents see a movie rating, do they really understand what it means? What goes into a movie rating? Who rates the movies in the first place? In this special, Andy Farnsworth examines the movie rating process and how it can help parents best decide what movies are the most appropriate for their kids. He explores the process of rating a movie, discusses what the MPAA looks at when considering how to rate a movie, and delves into the reaction from filmmakers and studios to those ratings. He also takes a closer look at what a rating might mean for box office returns.

In the wake of rising political violence — including the tragic killing of Charlie Kirk that took place on the campus of Utah Valley University — Holly Richardson and Greg Skordas confront a critical question: What kind of example are we setting for the next generation? In this special hour, the hosts of Inside Sources explore how we can restore civility, not only for ourselves, but also for our kids. Hear from psychologists, thought leaders, and more to learn how we can build bridges across divides, starting inside the home and expanding to the larger community. Can we model respectful discourse in what seems to be a broken world? As Governor Cox stated, “This is our moment: Do we escalate, or do we find an off-ramp?”
