- Host ryan. My god. Can he sound any more phony & pretentious?
Whether it’s battling a meteorologist over whose book club is better, or using bs terms like “people experiencing homelessness,” the softball “interview” of Denver mayor Johnson about the fake decrease in homelessness for the city- this show is a joke. It’s preaching to the choir. So if you’re a white savior with 5 degrees, a job in tech, academia, or a corrupt NGO, and you drive a Subaru or 4Runner, this is for you.

I LOVED your interview w Tig Notaro on today’s Colorado Matters. I’m queuing up “Come See Me In the Good Light” now and will report back. As always, thank you for an interview that doesn’t follow stale journalistic patterns; that intuits how your interviewee is feeling and proceeds w delicate curiosity, and leaves me always wanting to know the subject better.

Perhaps you can stop insinuating that we’re a “backwards” state that would not have a Black ballroom scene, for example. No, there’s not a large Black population here but we have a strong and deep history, and rich culture. You often sou... more

I’ve been listening to this program for years and I am continually intrigued, inspired and challenged by the variety of topics the program tackles about our great state. Ryan Warner is a superb host and interviewer, and I’m enjoying getting to know Chandra Thomas Whitfield as a host as well. Keep up the great work.
Loved Tom Hesse’s interview w the director Josh Berman and Trevor Kennison of the Netflix documentary Full Circle. Great reporting as always.
