Dispatch from the Undisputed Motorhead Capitol of the West

Jon Kovash

A Radio Special by Jon Kovash and Josie Kovash

Utah law currently allows ‘street legal’ ATVs and UTVs to drive on public roads.

This program, by independent producers Jon Kovash and Josie Kovash, aims to capture Moab residents' mounting frustration around quality of life issues and community health.
