  • 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.

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
