About this listen

Step into the dusty streets of forgotten towns, saloons that echoed with gunfire, and communities built on gold, grit, and hope. What Once Was is a storytelling podcast that unearths the buried history of Southern Utah — a region shaped by pioneers, outlaws, miners, farmers, and everyday families who built lives in the harshest of landscapes. Hosted by Anna Lytle, each episode brings to life the places you’ve driven past without a second thought — using immersive sound design, rich narration, and true stories that blend tragedy, hope, and a little bit of wild west madness. Whether your ancestors lived it, or you just love stories that stay with you long after they’re told — What Once Was will make you see Southern Utah in a whole new way. New episodes weekly.
