Junction City Justice
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!

The Public Servant - Spence Phillips retired Ogden Police
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.
