About this listen

Tales of history and policing in and around Ogden City, Utah. From the railroad junction population explosion to the modern day. Electric Alley in all its shady glory and the evolution of 25th Street. A deep dive into the history of those who’ve walked Ogden’s streets and has their stories buried in its history. We are dusting off the stories, the events of Ogden’s past and in doing so, shaking the hands of these people who made Ogden the unique city that it is. We do exhaustive research to bring you these stories in the vernacular and parlance of the newspapers and documents written at the time.

We read directly from these articles and documents verbatim, and we do this because it is important to keep an unfiltered view of history. In doing so, we might repeat words or situations that may be offensive to the listener. We ask that you understand that we are trying to bring you the history as it was, good or bad, offensive, or not. It doesn’t represent the opinions of anyone at the Junction City Justice Podcast, it represents the person who wrote at the time it was written. Our view is that history is what it is and we will bring it to you unfiltered. We do not represent any law enforcement agencies, officially or unofficially. Our opinions are ours and history is what it is.

Now, sit back and enjoy!

    You won't believe the corruption scandal that rocked Ogden in the 1930's. Who was indicted and what was the outcome? Public corruption meets sex crimes and vice - the full story. What was the "most dangerous street in America" really like in the 1930's and what of the Boys in Blue tasked with keeping order? So much of this story packed in it deserved its own episode.

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from your friends at the Junction City Justice Podcast.

    Join us in a sit down interview with retired Ogden Police legend Spence Phillips. From the jungles of Vietnam where he served in the Army to the Streets of Ogden from the 70's on, Spence brings his articulate, humorous, and unique perspective to the show. Listen to his first hand accounts of the Vietnam War and Policing in his era. He would never say this about himself, but Spence is a bona fide hero for reasons you'll hear, and we are indebted to him for giving us some of his time.

    Happy Veterans Day and thank you for your service.
