  • STOP THE “YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE” PODCAST INSERTIONS!!!!!

    I enjoy the podcast although I do wish it had more diversity of voices across the political spectrum as it leans very progressive (I get it, it’s Denver). That said, I appreciate that the show keeps me clued in to what’s going on in the city.

    3 stars for adding unrelated podcasts to its feed via the “YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE” feature. When multiple podcasts do this it makes my playlists useless with auto playing 50% of podcasts I’m not subscribed to, nor have any interest in. STOP IT!!!! NO, I don’... more

  • Paul seems to be kind of a centrist loser, but they do have fantastic guests. I just cringe every time Paul pulls back to be the "devil's advocate" position.

  • The worst

    If you love listening to white progressives lecture you about all the causes, this is your show. Bree sighs, a lot, to really really emphasize how compassionate she is. Unfortunately her brain is powered by a hamster wheel so she only knows the buzzwords like “no human is illegal on stolen land.” Oh and she’s a big fan of diners and Betty bop. So listen in as they talk about progressive policies, as if they haven’t failed and ruined every great American city, while they bring on a barrage of gue... more

    City cast Denver needs to hire a person to sit in the background and explain basic things like how insurance works when the hosts fail to make the right connections

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Denver Film Festival Isn’t Just for “Film People” {Sponsored}
Q: So you and your team go through thousands of submissions to land on this lineup that you present each year. What's that process actually like? And is there a moment every year where something like just surprises you?
Campbell describes a year-long process involving scouting at other festivals, requests to distributors and filmmakers, and submissions through Film Freeway. The team reviews more than 2,000 films to select a balanced program, seeking quality and stories from underrepresented voices.
Denver Film Festival Isn’t Just for “Film People” {Sponsored}
Q: For someone who assumes film festivals maybe just aren't for them, or maybe they've just never been to one or don't think of themselves as like a film person, what is this fest really about at its core?
Campbell says the festival is for the Colorado and Denver community, with a varied program intended to be accessible to people beyond art-house cinema fans.
Republicans for Weiser, Colorado and the Blue Wave, and the Evans-Rutinel Showdown
Q: What does an endorsement from an old-school, hardcore conservative like Ken Buck say about Phil Weiser as a Democrat?
Sirota says the endorsement may reflect Weiser's ability to work across constituencies and shared interest in antitrust, and does not necessarily indicate ideological concessions.
Republicans for Weiser, Colorado and the Blue Wave, and the Evans-Rutinel Showdown
Q: Where is Colorado's place in this bigger picture that you've been sort of exploring?
Sirota says Colorado's closely contested House races could help determine control of a narrowly divided House, even if redistricting limits the seat gains associated with a wave election.

Q: Would the foie gras measure only ban future production, or would it also affect restaurants?
It would ban force-feeding birds and selling products made through the practice, including foie gras, and would also prevent restaurants from serving foie gras produced through force-feeding. Supporters say a product made without that practice could still be served.
