Podcast Description
In its seventh year, the Humanities Happy Hour is retaining its status as perhaps the most infamous of the College's community/alumni activities. Held at Squatters Pub Brewery in downtown Salt Lake City, the Happy Hour boasts nearly 300 members and meets on the third Tuesday of every month from 5-7 p.m. Halfway through each Happy Hour, one of the College's excellent professors offers an "intellectual hors d'oeuvres" - a ten-minute talk on a subject that we bill as "timely, timeless and provocative." Occasionally there is music, and spontaneous dancing between members has been known to break out.
