Thousands of local grocery workers could be back on the picket lines by the end of the month, and a new investigation from Consumer Reports into alleged “price tag errors” at King Soopers is changing the narrative around another possible strike. So host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi are talking about the shifting politics of your grocery bill and other big stories of the week — from Mayor Johnston changing his mind on raises for his top deputies to some really shady deals going down inside the McDonald's at Colfax and Pennsylvania. And of course, we hear from you! This time, a listener has a new theory for why YIMBYs tend to be nerdy white guys.  We talked about our coverage of the King Soopers strike back in February, featuring interviews with UFCW Local 7's Kim Cordova and King Soopers president Joe Kelley. Paul talked about the New York Times' coverage of digital price tags.  What's your favorite grocery store and why?

Colorado's a flashpoint when it comes to immigration, especially Aurora and Denver, which the new administration has singled out. CPR justice reporter Allison Sherry and Denverite's Kyle Harris join a roundtable with our colleagues at "The Middle" hosted by Jeremy Dobson. Then, a milestone for construction on Colfax Avenue. Plus, a new passenger train could be on track for the mountains. And changes at Ford Amphitheater to address noise complaints as a new season kicks off. 

9News obtained footage of US marshals boarding a crowded RTD bus on Colfax to capture an escapee from Aurora's ICE detention facility. So on this week's Friday news round-up, our politics and green chile correspondent Justine Sandoval joins us to talk about the latest local developments in the federal immigration crackdown — from the ACLU's legal challenge to deportations to the precarity of transportation funding. Then a listener asks: Do you have to be “quirky” to become governor of Colorado? Plus, Juneteenth's funding cuts, a major abortion clinic closes, and more wins and fails of the week.  Bree mentioned the Westword story “Satan Sheets,” an immersive Titanic exhibit, the Fat & Fresh market happening this weekend, the Throughline episode on the Alien Enemies Act, Dr. Warren Hern's retirement, and the documentary “After Tiller.” Paul referenced this NYT article about John Hickenlooper's 2020 presidential campaign, the Juneteenth Music Festival's funding trouble, and Rep. Emily Sirota's work to pass CO's new “junk fees” law.

While trying to find his inner power, Laura (Vanity) tries to unlock other inner feelings he has as well. Good thing Leroy is hanging around because Vanity has multiple kidnap attempts from a corrupt music promoter. Meanwhile, Sho'nuff (Julius Carry) will stop at nothing for an epic confrontation and Converse kissing with Leroy. There will be Glow EVERYWHERE! Ah, yes, to be young in NYC in the 80s.

Mayor Mike Johnston returns! Host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi sit down with the mayor ahead of his trip to Washington for a high-profile congressional hearing on his approach to immigration next week, during which he will likely face hard questions from the likes of Rep. Lauren Boebert and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. With federal funding at stake, the mayor discusses his approach to what will surely be a media circus, as well has his thoughts on the recent debates over the tipped minimum wage, walkable and bike-able spaces, Colfax businesses struggling with BRT construction, and the future of downtown — plus, the recent wins he's proud of and a sneak peak at his next big projects.  What do you think about how the mayor is doing?

In the heart of Colfax, Washington, a towering relic of the past looms over the city—St. Ignatius Hospital. Built in 1893 as the first hospital in Whitman County, its halls once echoed with the bustle of patients seeking care. Over time, it transformed from a place of healing to a hotbed of paranormal activity. There is no shortage of eerie encounters and unexplained phenomena behind its crumbling brick façade. Doors slam shut on their own, footsteps charge down vacant corridors, and visitors have reported the unsettling sensation of brushing past invisible figures in the half-lit hallways. Today on The Grave Talks, we explore the tumultuous history and chilling hauntings of St. Ignatius Hospital with Ghost Tour Director Val Gregory. This is Part Two of our conversation.

"We have to stand up for ourselves. We have to advocate for ourselves. We have to be that big voice because nobody else is doing it for us." -Annie   Welcome to the Turmeric & Tequila Podcast™ ! I'm your host, Kristen Olson, and today we have an empowering episode live from the 99ers Bar in Denver. Our guests, Annie and Miranda, are not only passionate athletes but also the pioneering founders of this women's sports bar. Their journey began with a shared mission on the football field in the "Empower Her" league and evolved into a resilient partnership marked by transparency, community support, and unwavering dedication. Tune in as we delve into their challenges transitioning from the corporate world to entrepreneurship, their efforts in the growing Colfax community, and the cultural impact of their establishment. Experience their story of perseverance, 'failing forward,' and building a safe, inclusive space for women's sports. Get ready to be inspired by Annie and Miranda's relentless drive and the vibrant energy of the 99ers Bar on this episode of the Turmeric & Tequila Podcast™.   Time Stamps: 00:00 Success requires unseen hard work and dedication. 05:04 Excelled in multiple sports, faced gender barriers. 06:22 Exploring business events; inspired by grandma's wisdom. 12:30 Sports weave passion into life's fabric. 14:53 Meeting anticipation before Texas tournament participation. 17:22 Intense conversations felt purposeful and transparent. 19:34 Two women collaborating, navigating evolving narratives successfully. 24:08 Stand up, advocate; don't be taken advantage. 26:55 Embrace change; adapt continuously, like sports. 29:23 Proving oneself; overcoming familial and societal doubts. 32:52 Sports unite people, breaking barriers, fostering connections. 36:27 Colfax seeks growth, community, and vibrancy. 40:22 Personal loans drive intentional project, avoid investors. 42:19 Clarity and intention ensure perseverance and success. 46:40 Success is learning throughout the journey. 49:38 Sports provide lifelong connection and fulfillment. 50:42 Luxury's neurofeedback: effective, highly recommended for mental health.   About Annie & Miranda: Annie Weaver and Miranda Spencer first crossed paths on the field, playing for Altitude Sickness, a competitive women's flag football team in Denver. In addition to their roles as teammates, they forged a business partnership driven by a shared mission: to empower women and increase the visibility of women's athletics. Their motivation grew from the shared experience of navigating a sports landscape where opportunities for women were scarce. Both had grown up having to play on boys' teams due to the limited avenues available for girls in sports. The concept of women being professional athletes seemed distant until they witnessed the historic 1999 Women's World Cup game. Yet, even in 2024, it is nearly impossible to find a bar airing women's sports. The 99ers Bar seeks to change this reality. As Denver's first sports bar catering primarily toward women's athletics, it is part of a growing movement of women's sports bars across the country. Here, women's games are not merely broadcasted; they are celebrated. The space is dedicated to empowering all people who may not feel welcome at a traditional sports bar, including the LGBTQ community. No matter who you are or who you're cheering for, at the 99ers Sports Bar everyone is a part of the winning team. https://www.the99erssportsbar.com/ @The99ersSportsBar   Connect with T&T: IG: @TurmericTequila Facebook: @TurmericAndTequila Website: www.TurmericAndTequila.com Host: Kristen Olson IG: @Madonnashero Tik Tok: @Madonnashero Website: www.KOAlliance.com WATCH HERE   MORE LIKE THIS: https://youtu.be/ZCFQSpFoAgI?si=Erg8_2eH8uyEgYZF      https://youtu.be/piCU9JboWuY?si=qLdhFKCGdBzuAeuI https://youtu.be/9Vs2JDzJJXk?si=dpjV31GDqTroUKWH    

It's Friday, and we're rounding up the biggest stories of the week. First, CEO of Denver-based Liberty Energy Chris Wright — also known as the guy who drank fracking fluid on camera to “prove” it was safe — is President-elect Donald Trump's pick to lead the Department of Energy. Who is Wright, and what would his appointment mean for the climate crisis? Then, the city has proposed building pickleball courts to fill the vacant lot at Colfax and Broadway. Will pickleball players go for it? Host Bree Davies is joined by stand-up comedian Joshua Emerson and Denver Post environmental reporter Noelle Phillips to talk climate change, local recreation, Westernaires' problematic Native American reenactments, a new pizza spot coming to Cap Hill, and more wins and fails of the week.

Donald Trump has been elected as the 47th president of the United States, and many Republicans in down-ballot races also saw some surprising success, including in East Baton Rouge Parish, where Republican Sid Edwards is headed for a runoff in the Mayor-President race against Democratic incumbent Sharon Weston-Broome.Reporters Aidan McCahill and Drew Hawkins join us with more on the results of races and ballot initiatives throughout Louisiana. The last few presidential elections raised concerns about potential violence at the voting booths and on the campaign trail. Over the summer, President-elect Donald Trump experienced two assassination attempts, and on Election Day, multiple polling sites  in swing states received bomb threats. For many, the modern political violence brings to mind the Colfax Massacre in Louisiana. On April 13, 1878, a mob of armed white men attacked the courthouse in Colfax, a town in Grant Parish, killing at least 80 Black men who were exercising their right to vote. Today, we revisit this story, and how two men with personal connections to the tragedy are working to preserve the truth behind what happened. WRKF's Karen Henderson explores what A Reconstruction-era episode of political violence can teach us in today's divisive climate. ___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Adam Vos. Our managing producer is Alana Schrieber.

For Halloween, the hobgoblins at Denverite present "Denverfright," an evening of spine-chilling stories at The Bug Theatre. Brown Palace Historian Debra Faulkner informs us the call is coming from INSIDE THE HOTEL. Then, a drink with death at a Colfax dive bar. Plus, Denver novelist Kali Fajardo-Anstine shares a multi-generational family ghost story. And something foul from The Denver Museum of Nature & Science. 

Mayor Mike Johnston just hit his goal of getting 2,000 people off the streets before the end of the year. However, the housing fight is far from over — he's also been hard at work pushing Ballot Issue 2R, which, if passed, would increase the city's sales tax to fund a new affordable housing plan. But with Mile High residents already struggling with the cost of living, is a regressive tax really the answer? The mayor joins host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi for his regular check-in to make his case for higher taxes. Plus, Mayor Mike wades into the minimum wage debate, explains why he thinks adding more police officers to the force will mean fewer people of color being incarcerated, and answers listener questions about crime on Colfax and dangerous drivers.  Are you going to vote for Mayor Johnston's sales tax hike to fund affordable housing? Why or why not? We want to hear from you!

It's not every day that you get an email from ACLU. If you aren't aware, since being co-founded in part by Hellen Keller in New York City in 1920, the American Civil Liberties Union has been involved in dozens of major cases defending the fundamental civil rights of individuals and causes both popular and very much not so. In 1925, the ACLU represented high school science teacher, John Scopes, in what became known as the Scopes Monkey Trial. Nearly 30 years later they played a significant role in the Brown v Board decision overturning “separate but equal” education for Black and white students. So when they reached out wanting to do a podcast episode with us about the state of Title IX in 2024, I had to say yes. In the past we've done episodes about how classroom teachers can best support LGBTQ students in potentially hostile policy environments, but we are well overdue for a national look at the current rights under Title IX for LGBTQIA+ students, pregnant and parenting students, and for all students facing sex-based harassment and assault and the obligations schools have to protect them.Jennesa Calvo-Friedman is currently a staff attorney at the ACLU. Previously, she was the Marvin M. Karpatkin Fellow with the ACLU's Racial Justice Program. Before joining the ACLU, Calvo-Friedman clerked for the Honorable Gerard E. Lynch of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and the Honorable Ronnie Abrams of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. She was the Relman Civil Rights Fellow at the civil rights law firm Relman, Dane & Colfax. Calvo-Friedman received her B.A. from Swarthmore College, and her J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center, where she graduated first in class, was a Public Interest Law Scholar and Executive Editor of the Georgetown Journal on Poverty Law & Policy.US Dept of Education Title IX: https://www.ed.gov/titleixACLU Title IX Fact Sheet: https://www.aclu.org/documents/title-ix-fact-sheetGeneral Resources:https://nwlc.org/respect-students/https://www.equalrights.org/news/new-title-ix-rule-goes-into-effect-protecting-lgbtqi-other-students-but-not-in-all-states/Pregnant and Parenting Students:https://thepregnantscholar.org/titleix-updates-toolkit/https://www.abetterbalance.org/our-issues/students-rights-emerging-workforce/Sexual Assault, Sexual Harassment, and Gender Based Violence:https://www.publicjustice.net/what-we-do/gender-sexual-violence/https://www.advocatesforyouth.org/campaigns/know-your-ix/LGBTQIA+:https://www.glsen.org/title-ixhttps://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/lgbtq-rights#are-lgbtq-students-protected-from-discrimination-in-schoolshttps://legacy.lambdalegal.org/know-your-rights/article/youth-how-the-law-protects Hosted on Acast.

It's Wednesday, and we're breaking down the biggest stories of the week. First, Natural Grocers announced the closure of its Capitol Hill location at the end of the month, citing crime and safety issues. But a look at the crime data points to a more complicated situation on Colfax. Then, employee ownership is on the rise in Colorado and has emerged as a big issue in the debate over the proposed slaughterhouse ban in Denver. So host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi are taking a look at what employee ownership really means — for the contested Globeville slaughterhouse, but also Fancy Tiger Crafts Co-op and Beau Jo's.

It's Tuesday, and we're digging into all the stories Denverites are talking about this week. First, The Denver Post published a sensational op-ed from a whistleblower who used to work at the slaughterhouse in Globeville that animal welfare advocates are trying to shut down with an upcoming ballot measure. So is this guy legit? Or just a political pawn? Producer Paul Karolyi and host Bree Davies are talking about Paul's recent sit-down with the whistleblower in question, Jose Huizar. Plus, Denver's last lesbian bar is closing (or maybe just rebranding?), the blowback from last week's local influencer expose, and a listener puts us on a parking mystery at Mission Ballroom.  Come see us live!

It's Friday and we're rounding up the biggest news of the week. First, construction is imminent on the much-anticipated Bus Rapid Transit project along Colfax. Will the roadwork impact access to local businesses in a lasting way? Will the famous strip lose its character? Will drivers actually get out of their cars and get on the bus? Host Bree Davies is joined by Pete's Satire bartender and AAA spokesperson Skyler McKinley and Sie FilmCenter's artistic director Keith Garcia to discuss these changes to the neighborhood where they both work and live. Then, producer Olivia Jewell Love ranks her least-favorite halloween candy and the crew discuss the closure of Natural Grocers and Steve's Snappin' Dogs, Mutiny Information Cafe's grand reopening, and more wins and fails of the week.  Bree mentioned her 2023 interview with Amy Cara, one of the developers behind Cherry Creek West project, which was approved by City Council this week.

On the surface, the election of 1872 might seem insignificant in US history; Ulysses Grant easily won reelection to the White House and his Republican Party maintained their dominance in both houses of Congress. In the south, however, the violence that followed the election at the state and local level was an ominous sign that the era of Reconstruction might soon be over. And, according to Dana Bash and her co-author David Fischer, nowhere saw more violence than Louisiana. In this episode, Dana joins Ben & Bob to discuss her new book America's Deadliest Election: The Cautionary Tale of the Most Violent Election in American History, and how the violence that followed the 1872 election in Louisiana – including the slaughter of 150 unarmed black Americans in the small town of Colfax – laid the foundation for the restoration of white supremacy in the south. Dana Bash is chief political correspondent at CNN, where she also anchors Inside Politics and co-anchors State of the Union alongside Jake Tapper. This episode was edited by Gary Fletcher.

In today's episode of I Am Refocused Radio, we dive into one of the most turbulent and consequential periods in American history—the violent 1872 Louisiana gubernatorial election. Joining us are CNN's Chief Political Correspondent Dana Bash and bestselling author David Fisher, who co-wrote the riveting new book America's Deadliest Election. This powerful narrative uncovers the little-known story of an election that pushed democracy to the brink, resulting in hundreds of murders, street warfare, and the rise of white supremacist violence.Through their exploration of the Colfax Massacre—the deadliest incident of racial violence during Reconstruction—and the legal and political fallout that followed, Dana and David reveal unsettling parallels to today's deeply divided political landscape.ABOUT DANA BASH AND HER BOOK AMERICA'S DEADLIEST ELECTION CNN anchor and chief political correspondent Dana Bash has written her first book, AMERICA'S DEADLIEST ELECTION: The Cautionary Tale of the Most Violent Election in American History with bestselling author David Fisher. AMERICA'S DEADLIEST ELECTION recounts the extraordinary election that led to hundreds of murders, warfare in the streets of New Orleans, two governors of Louisiana - and changed the course of politics in our country. The Election of 1872 was the most contentious in American history. After both parties complained of corruption, neither candidate would concede, two governors claimed office and chaos erupted. Rival newspapers engaged in a bitter war of words, politicians plotted to overthrow the government, and their supporters fought in the streets and attempted assassinations. The entire country watched in grim fascination as the wounds of the Civil War were ripped open and the promise of President Grant's Reconstruction faltered in the face of violent resistance and the birth of the Ku Klux Klan. In this riveting book, Dana Bash and David Fisher tell the incredible, little-known story of the election that pushed democracy to the breaking point, and sparked historic events including:The Colfax Massacre, in which at least 150 Black men were killed by white supremacists.The extraordinary train race from New York to New Orleans for control of the state government.The election of the first black Congressman from Louisiana in the face of violent resistance.The Supreme Court ruling that ended Reconstruction and became the foundation of Southern segregation, changing the American legal system for the next centuryAMERICA'S DEADLIEST ELECTION is an eye-opening warning of what's at stake and what it takes to protect our democracy. DANA BASH BIO Dana Bash is CNN's chief political correspondent and the anchor and host of Sunday morning's State of the Union, serving as the network's lead reporter covering campaigns and Congress. She regularly acts as a moderator for CNN's political town hall specials and debates, including CNN's first debate of the 2020 election cycle in Detroit.
