30:55

A secret field that summons lightning. A massive spiral that disappears into a salt lake. A celestial observatory carved into a volcano. Meet the wild—and sometimes explosive—world of land art, where artists craft masterpieces with dynamite and bulldozers. In our Season 2 premiere, guest Dylan Thuras, cofounder of Atlas Obscura, takes us off road and into the minds of the artists who literally reshaped parts of the Southwest. These works aren’t meant to be easy to reach—or to explain—but they just might change how you see the world. Land art you’ll visit in this episode: - Double Negative and City by Michael Heizer (Garden Valley, Nevada) - Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson (Great Salt Lake, Utah) - Sun Tunnels by Nancy Holt (Great Basin Desert, Utah) - Lightning Field by Walter De Maria (Catron County, New Mexico) - Roden Crater by James Turrell (Painted Desert, Arizona) Via Podcast is a production of AAA Mountain West Group.…

Before Ronald Reagan told his team to "win one for the Gipper", and long before Winston Churchill told England to "be calm and carry on", Mesa’s very own Zedo Ishikawa inspired generations with his final words. What Mesa High has done with those words, in the near-century that's followed, is just one more thing that makes Mesa, very, very cool.

But don't let the name fool you, because no matter who you are or where you're from, you'll discover the Day of the Dead is a very-not-scary, even joyful event. If you've never understood the meaning and significance of this special holiday, you've landed in the right spot.…

Rusty Bowers Receives the Key to the City 29:28

منذ 48 weeks29:28

29:28

Forget the bearded Dos Equis pitchman with his thick shock of salt and pepper hair. The most interesting man in the world might be a clean shaven, bald dude named Russell "Rusty" Bowers. A fourth generation Arizonan, Rusty is as Mesa as it gets. Growing up he was a devoted boy scout and then a committed Mesa High Jackrabbit - a God-fearing gym rat who made a habit of fouling out of most basketball games. But he later became a renown painter and sculptor. Eventually, he put his creative skill and sharp elbows to work as a politician, representing Mesa for almost two decades as a member of both the Arizona House and Senate. He loved it. And then came the test of a life time when he was pressured by a sitting president - the man he campaigned for - to participate in overturning the results of the 2020 election in Arizona. The gym-rat-turned-artist-turned-conservative politician refused. The Most Interesting Man in the World, indeed.…

Spring Training and the Father of the Cactus League 26:55

منذ 1 year26:55

26:55

Mesa is known for many things, but for a lot of people across our country, Mesa is synonymous with one thing. Spring Training. Every February and March, Mesa hosts both the Chicago Cubs at Sloan Park and the Oakland A's at Hohokam Park. You might think that's just how it's always been. But the story of how once-sleepy Mesa became the epicenter of the Cactus League will surprise you. At the center of the story is Dwight "Pat" Patterson, a quiet cattleman-turned community champion. The story behind Spring training is just one more reason we can say, "It's Always Cool in Mesa".…

Turning a Mesa Murder into a Musical! 46:32

منذ 1 year46:32

46:32

On the Friday evening after Thanksgiving, we kick off the holiday season here at the Mesa Arts Center with a theatrical retelling of The Man Who Killed Santa Claus. Audiences love it. But never so much as this last year when it was performed for the first time as a musical. Mayor Giles sits down with the show's creator and writer, Brian Nissen, the producer, Mark Arnett, and the musical director Emily Susan Pack, and asks them how they did it. If you've only heard the non-musical version, you haven't really heard this true Mesa story. Disclaimer: No actual Santa Clauses were harmed in the production of this musical.…

We're Still Here. The Story of Mesa's Canal Builders 22:18

منذ 2 years22:18

22:18

In the full version of our "Always Cool" theme song, there's a line that goes, "If you say Venice makes you wistful, Well, we've got canals by the fistful!" And it's true - miles and miles of canals that deliver water to every reach of the city. They also provide a place to walk, bike, and enjoy our Arizona sunsets. The story of how the canals came to be is an epic and sacred one.…

A Boy and His Dinosaur: The Arizona Museum of Natural History 23:11

منذ 2 years23:11

Everyone calls it "the Dinosaur Museum". And that's fine. But it's actually the Arizona Museum of Natural History. And while its dinosaur offerings are truly incredible, it actually has a lot of non-Dino stuff that makes it one of the Southwest's premier natural history museums. And don't miss Visit Mesa's newest music video, featuring the song, "We Walk" that highlights Mesa's dedication to supporting inclusivity and acceptance within our community.

The Improbable Tale of the Mesa Arts Center 28:00

منذ 2 years28:00

28:00

The story of how the Mesa Arts Center got built and almost didn't get built is a lesson in vision and persistence. And Mesa didn't just build an arts center. We built a world-class, international award winning arts center. If you've ever wondered how Mesa pulled it off, here's the decades-long story.…

All cool American cities have their annual traditions. Boston has its marathon. There's the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. And Ashland Oregon has a world class Shakespeare festival. Here in Mesa, we don't take ourselves so seriously. Every year we get together and celebrate the fact that 90 years ago we killed the jolliest man on the planet.…

Academy Award Winner, Troy Kotsur 27:24

If you were asked in 2021 to name an Academy Award winner from Mesa, you probably would have broke the google machine trying. But if you search today, dozens of articles will tell you all about Troy Kotsur, winner of the Oscar for best supporting actor in 2022 for the film CODA. He's the first male deaf actor to win an Oscar. Best of all, he's Mesa born and bred. How cool is that?

Jagger Eaton, Mesa's Skateboarding Olympian 18:07

منذ 3 years18:07

18:07

Every Olympics has its "first-evers'. One of the "first-evers" in the most recent summer Olympics came from Mesa Arizona. Jagger Eaton, the kid with a moniker to match his style, grabbed America's first-ever skateboarding medal - a bronze in the men's street competition. Shaggy-haired and super chill, but at the same time extremely hard-working and wise beyond his years, Jagger both reinforces and smashes skateboarder stereotypes. Lots of things make Mesa cool. This kid may just be the coolest.…

We've got quite a few world-class things in Mesa. A world-class Arts Center, Asian District, and sunsets, to name just a few. Add this to the bunch: The Hawes Trail System. A network of desert trails attracting mountain bikers from across the country. Hikers and horseback riders enjoy it, too. The story of how Hawes Trail came to be (and almost didn't come to be) is one for the ages.…

Mesa’s B-17 Bomber "Sentimental Journey" 13:24

When Mesa resident Fred Engstrom was eighteen he enlisted in the Army Air Force and learned how to fly. Two years later he flew twenty-five missions over Germany in the plane that some people say won the war - a B-17 bomber. Today you can take a ride in a B-17 (and other vintage warbirds) at Falcon Field operated by the Arizona Commemorative Air Force. That’s where I met Fred. It was an honor to ride along with him on his 26th mission.…

Every American city has an iconic piece of architecture. Seattle's skyline would be incomplete without its space needle. St. Louis has its Gateway Arch. And one of the most iconic buildings in Mesa is its Latter-Day Saints Temple. It was built almost a century ago and just recently underwent a major restoration.…
