You’re not funny Arlo, stick to reporting the news.
Everything about the show is great (content) except for the main guy that announces the reporting. This guy tries to be funny with everything and you can tell his reporting colleagues also get annoyed with it. Hopefully they’ll replace this idiot soon!
This is my first pod cast review! Just want to say that I listen daily and I’m grateful for the quick overview of CO news each new. Arlo has been crushing it lately 👊
Yay! So glad to hear that most of the peaches made it! Looking forward to adding them to my smoothies and cutting them up and putting on cottage cheese! And just eating one!
This show is a great way to ground yourself in what’s happening in your own backyard before taking on the news of the world. This podcast goes beyond the important updates and news items: it also sprinkles in local musicians, events, and funny personal anecdotes. Arlo is such an engaging host - I wouldn’t start my morning any other way.
