About this episode
Salt Lake City recently resurrected a long-forgotten relic of the 2002 Winter Olympics: the Hoberman Arch. The 30,000-pound art installation has a new home near Salt Lake City International Airport — but it’s lived rent-free in host Ali Vallarta’s mind for years. Now that SLC has officially been blessed as the U.S. bid city for the 2030 or 2034 Games , Ali tells lead producer Emily Means the story of the Hoberman Arch. Read journalist Hunter S. Thompson’s take on the 2002 Olympics. Subscribe to our daily morning newsletter . You can find us on Instagram @CityCastSLC . Looking to advertise on City Cast Salt Lake?
