Podcasts about coloradans

As Colorado was rocked by yet another school shooting Wednesday afternoon, conservative activist Charlie Kirk was also shot and killed on a college campus in Utah. Coloradans are shocked, saddened, and enraged as the conversation yet again turns to guns, violence, and our polarized media. Then, the Broncos have officially announced that their future stadium will be built in Denver proper. Are we gonna call this one Mile High Stadium, too? Comedian Adam Cayton-Holland joins producer Paul Karolyi and host Bree Davies to dig into these stories, plus our wins and fails of the week. Paul talked about Ben Roy's Facebook post about social media, Westword's coverage of the scandal at the Mexican Consulate in Denver, and his friend Jem's album release concert at The Bug this Saturday. Bree discussed the passing of photojournalist Corky Scholl and his Save the Signs project and SarahFest happening this weekend at Manos Sagrados. Adam mentioned yet another Rockies record-breaking loss, the rare wood stork sighting in Broomfield, and next weekend's High Plains Comedy Festival (which is still looking for volunteers!)    ICYMI: We are launching the City Cast Denver Creator Community It's a network of local creators elevating the stories that matter most in their communities.

A remarkable Coloradan - and an American pioneer - celebrates his 92nd birthday today. Ed Dwight was the first Black man to be selected for astronaut training more than 60 years ago. And six decades later, he became the oldest person to go to space. Dwight's history-making didn't stop there. He went on to become a celebrated artist, sculpting important monuments to Black legends. His body of work appears in Denver and at memorials across the country, and in museums like the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. This year, he was nominated for a Congressional Gold Medal. Chandra met Dwight at his work space in north Denver.

Living in Colorado isn’t getting any cheaper, and today Sun business reporter Tamara Chuang looks into what that means for older Coloradans and some events hosted by the state to help the 50-older workforce. https://coloradosun.com/2025/09/06/aging-colorado-expensive-older-workers/ https://coloradosun.com/aging-in-colorado/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a message! Really!This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, HOLY SHIT, it's Episode 250!!! And we have a great one for you. First up, RFK Jr. gets his ass handed to him in a Senate Finance Committee Hearing and absolutely lied in his confirmation hearings. Relatedly: Governor Polis took quick action to make sure Coloradans still have access to lifesaving vaccines, proving once again that having Democrats in charge really, really matters, because Republican Florida is basically doing the exact opposite. Then, Republicans are ramping up their campaign of lies on Medicaid, President Trump is trying to move Space Command from Colorado to Alabama, again, because he's the most corrupt monster to ever occupy the White House, and the economy is really starting to take a nosedive. But first, Listener Favorite Logan Davis from the Colorado Times Recorder is BACK on the pod to talk about his latest big investigation detailing how radical right-wingers connected to Russian Oligarchs and at least one local billionaire are actually shaping a lot of the politics in our very blue state.That's it for this episode!

Jamie is planning her friends bachelorette party. She wanted to take a tour around the Vegas strip on Cartzilla, but its all booked up! BJ wants to know what time you go to bed.

The Broncos won their first game of the season against the Titans, but it wasn't pretty. Ricky Martin performed at the VMAs last night. BJ thinks his singing sounded more like talking. Charlie Sheen went on the GMAs on Friday to talk about his new documentary coming out on Wednesday as well as his new book. He admitted that during his drug fueled days he tried hooking up with men. At a Phillies vs Marlins game one of the Phillies players hit a homerun. Several people ran to pick up the ball from the stands and a dad was the one who pulled it out from the scrum. He tried to give his ball to his son, but a woman came over and screamed at him until he gave her the ball. The dad and his son however got something even better than a ball. They received a bat that was signed by the player who hit the home run, a gift bag from the Marlins, an RV and a pair of tickets to the world series. A couple getting married had a $100k gift stolen from them during their wedding. Doja Cat's performance at the VMAs was incredible. BJ was impressed with her dancing. Mariah Carey did a great job singing, but barely moved. Former Denver broadcaster Deborah Takahara got tasered yesterday after going through police training camp.

The Tuesday Group formed in Denver when the Trump Administration shut down USAID. Experts in international development are in need of aid themselves-- emotionally and in the job search. Colorado Matters visits this support group at the Posner Center for International Development, which is a nerve center for Coloradans in foreign aid. Then, a Buc-ee's-sized fight in Palmer Lake.

Rep. Rose Pugliese (R-14), minority leader in the Colorado House, joins Heidi Ganahl (in for Dan) with a Friday update on a special session of the General Assembly called by Governor Jared Polis. No spending programs were cut to account for the $1.2 billion shortfall, but Democrat bills are pending that would increase revenue by imposing additional 'fees' and TABOR end-arounds to effectively tax Coloradans more.

This fascinating novel—dual-time historical with a fantastical overlay, based in part on the life of the author's great-grandfather, a nineteenth-century charlatan—follows the career of a young Scotswoman named Nairna Liath. When we meet her in 1900, Nora, sixteen years old, travels the Scottish countryside at the insistence of her father, Tavish, who supports himself and his daughter by hawking her supposed skills as a medium—expressed through his own mangled Gaelic mixed with a series of parlor tricks that Nairna has mastered. But we soon find out that the joke's on Tavish: Nairna really does have psychic talents, especially in reading Tarot cards. Her ability attracts attention from the Society for Psychical Research, setting Nairna on her path to become the spiritualist Nora Grey. Her tale is intertwined with (in fact, propelled by) that of Nairna's grandmother, Lottie Liath, in the 1860s. Lottie has just lost her husband in a coal mining accident, and when she protests the lack of financial support provided by the uncaring mine administration, the manager has her arrested and thrown in jail. From there, the pregnant Lottie ends up in an asylum. And it's the asylum, where she is subjected to psychic experiments, that brings her increasingly into conversation with Nora. The Entirely True Story of the Fantastical Mesmerist Nora Grey (Kensington Books, 2025) is rich in drama—both tragedy and comedy—as well as rapid switches of identity accompanied by pseudo news reports from various types of sources that illuminate Nora's and Lottie's stories in various ways. It's tremendous fun and heartbreaking at the same time, and it's best just to suspend disbelief and go with the flow. If you do, I guarantee you will love every minute of this story. Kathleen Kaufman, a native Coloradan and long-time resident of Los Angeles, California, is the author of six previous books. A University of Southern California alum, she teaches high school English and is a writing and composition adjunct professor at Santa Monica College. The Entirely True Story of the Fantastical Mesmerist Nora Grey is her latest novel. C. P. Lesley is the author of two historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible and four other novels. Her latest book, Song of the Steadfast, appeared in June 2025.

We speak with a local manufacturer about the impact. Then, as the state faces another big budget gap, could it make up the shortfall using Coloradans' unclaimed property? Purplish explores the idea and how to find out if you're owed something. Plus, celebrating a century of lawn bowling!

There's a secure room in the State Capitol filled with the lost treasures of generations of Coloradans: baseball cards, war medals, even a large yellow diamond ring. Unclaimed property that has come into the custody of the state over the decades. All told, Colorado holds around $2 billion in unclaimed assets, some physical, but even more in the form of abandoned accounts, uncashed checks and overlooked tax refunds. Colorado's Treasury Department is tasked with returning assets to their rightful owners. But the fund is also an attractive target for lawmakers looking to pay programs in the face of a cash-strapped state budget.CPR's Bente Birkeland and CPR's Stephanie Wolf look at how the fund is intended to work, what it takes to reclaim property and why lawmakers dipping into it can be a messy situation. Purplish is produced by CPR News and the Capitol News Alliance, a collaboration between KUNC News, Colorado Public Radio, Rocky Mountain PBS, and The Colorado Sun, and shared with Rocky Mountain Community Radio and other news organizations across the state. Funding for the Alliance is provided in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.This episode was edited by Megan Verlee and sound designed and engineered by Shane Rumsey.

Be honest, you know you have one — a habit or guilty pleasure that as a proud Coloradan you know you shouldn't indulge. When we first put out the call to hear listeners' “toxic Colorado traits” earlier this year, we were overwhelmed with confessions so hilarious (and honest) that we had to share our own. It's time to go deep on Mile High “obnoxious lore.” So we are revisiting that conversation with host Bree Davies and two of our favorite regular guests, stand-up comedian Kate MacLachlan and our politics and green chile correspondent Justine Sandoval.  What's you toxic Colorado trait? You've heard ours and some great ones from other listeners, so it's your turn to confess!

The legacy of Cherry Creek is rooted in Black history and it played a pivotal role shaping Denver into the city that it is today. Chandra moderated a panel discussion called "Legacy of Cherry Creek: Growing Up Black in Denver's Transforming Neighborhood" in front of an audience this spring. It was hosted by Arapahoe County Libraries to reflect and share the personal stories of four life-long Colorado residents whose families called Cherry Creek home, and some who still do: Former Denver County Judge Gary Jackson; his uncle, Warren Scott, a retired US Post Office Manager; Trudi Morrison, a retired lawyer and former Deputy Sergeant at Arms of the US Senate; and Cleo Parker Robinson, the renowned founder and artistic director of Cleo Parker Robinson Dance in Denver. 

“I am just discovering myself as a novelist,” says international bestselling novelist Shelley Read, author of Go as a River. In this conversation, Shelley shares with us how her journey from poet and non-fiction writer shifted into fiction with a single moment of observation and wonder. She shares with us how she crafts scenes, her penchant for playing with language, why she didn't share with anyone about what she was doing for many years, how a love affair with her main character drove the whole novel, and what she has learned about her own creative process along the way.Shelley Read's debut novel,Go as a River, is an international bestseller that has sold over a million copies worldwide, been translated into thirty-four languages, and is in development for film with the Mazur Kaplan Company. Winner of the High Plains Book Award for Fiction and the Reading the West Book Award for Debut Fiction, Go as a River is also a Sunday Times bestseller, a Goodreads Choice Award finalist, an Amazon Editors' Pick Best Debut Fiction, an Indie Next Pick, and a Colorado Public Radio Books We Love selection, among other national and international accolades. Shelley was an award-winning senior lecturer at Western Colorado University for nearly three decades, where she taught writing, literature, environmental studies, and honors. She is a mom, mountaineer, world traveler, and fifth-generation Coloradan who lives with her family in the Elk Mountains of Colorado's Western Slope.You can meet Shelley in person at the Grand Mesa Writer's Symposium August 8-10 in Cedaredge. The event features numerous workshops and gatherings, including an open mic.

An estimated 100,000 Coloradans stand to lose health coverage next year amid a 28 percent hike in premiums; Governor Polis holds Congress responsible. We ask about that along with wildfire resources, immigration, and the proposed bridge outside the State Capitol.

EP77 Save The Hunt – A conversation with Dan Gates of Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management  Of the Rocky Mountain states, Colorado has been ground zero for animal rights and anti-hunting, trapping, and science-based wildlife management extremists bent on challenging more than 100 years of successful and sportsmen funded wildlife restoration and management. After a stingingly narrow victory of a ballot box biology initiative to introduce grey wolves into the state, conservation minded Coloradans formed Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management (CRWM) led by Dan Gates to become the tip of the spear for anticipated future battles. Using a collaborative approach, identifying key constituencies, and key, and factual messaging, Dan and CRWM found the secret sauce to defeat Proposition 127 this past November that would have ended mountain lion management, as well as two other anti-led with Governor's office support ballot initiatives. These were not only defeated, they were crushed by CRWM with financial support from across the country including WSF's contribution of $100,000 to educate the public on the consequences of Prop 127.  Sheep Fever co-host Gray Thornton, and guest host Corey Mason sit down in studio with Dan to discuss the 2024 wins, and plans for the next, seemingly never-ended battle to preserve science-informed, sustainable use wildlife conservation. Sit back with a Scotch and cigar, and enjoy!

Hope Fades for Finding Survivors as TX Death Toll Passes 100; Florida's conservative faith leaders urge execution pause amid record pace; Coloradans urged to speak up about at-risk wildlife, habitats; Federal tax-incentive cuts could stall NH solar industry.

In this hilariously unfiltered and surprisingly heartfelt episode, Stephanie recaps her post-Cruel Jewel adventure at the Great Divide 100 in Colorado with guests Ben Bridgeman and Liesl Standish. After a last-minute pivot to avoid altitude overload, Stephanie takes us through her thought process behind picking this particular race just three weeks after finishing one of the most brutal 100-milers in the Southeast. With loops at a “mild” 9,200–9,800 ft elevation and a deceptively runnable course, she thought this would be a safer bet. Spoiler: it wasn't.Liesl and Ben—now proud Coloradans—served as her pacers and emotional lifelines as the race devolved from high hopes to high-altitude hell. The episode dives into the emotional rollercoaster that comes with racing at elevation while undertrained and over-beered, the importance of having the right people by your side, and the unique energy of grassroots trail races. There's discussion on course markings, shade-hopping strategies, and the shock of how 65 degrees in Colorado sun hits different than in Texas.But it's not all suffering and sunscreen. Between the shade breaks, trail hallucinations, and one hilariously defiant mantra—let's just say it wasn't about “having balls”—this episode is packed with raw trail wisdom, post-race reflection, and the kind of unfiltered fun you can only have when you're running on fumes and friendship.Photo Credit: Zach JohnsonBe sure to subscribe to the podcast wherever you listen, and we always appreciate you leaving a good rate and review.

In the first hour of today's edition of The Dan Caplis Show, Sheriff Steve Reams fills in for Dan Caplis and is joined by Dick Wadhams to react to the latest news and breakdown how it affects Coloradans.

It's the falsetto that's captured the hearts of music lovers for more than 5 decades now -- and the long list of awards and accolades behind his name affirms that his fandom comes for, well, good "Reasons." A talk with Denver native and East High School graduate Philip Bailey as he reflects on his life and legacy as lead singer of Colorado's adopted hometown band, Earth, Wind and Fire. Also, each year thousands of Coloradans visit the U.S. Capitol, hoping to catch the attention of the state's Congressional delegation. Recently, a lot of those lobbying efforts visits have been about Republicans' huge tax and spending package. 

Today, Sun rural reporter Tracy Ross interviews Matt Moseley, a Coloradan with three jobs -- communications professional, author of three books including one about the rabble rouser, Hunter S. Thompson, and open-water swimmer in a landlocked state. He recently swam 17 miles of the Colorado River from the put in near Moab, Utah, to the takeout at Potash (pot-ash), to raise money for American Rivers to protect free-flowing rivers throughout the US.

Our destination is Abell Ranch, a 1,500-acre slice of trout heaven on Colorado's South Platte River with former guide and fifth-generation Coloradan, Clint Packo, who just might have the coolest job around: running Abell, restoring trout streams, and brokering some of the West's most iconic ranches. Abell is known for its three miles of gin-clear water, rare solitude, and some of the best hopper fishing in the state. Along the way, we tackle big questions—like how do you design a trout stream? And who drops $38 million on a ranch…and actually makes it work?  Stick around to the end for a wild story involving a tarpon, a blacktip shark, and a few unexpected cartwheels.

In this week's episode, The Big Hunt Guys sit down with Dan and Karen Gates, or Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management, to discuss the landscape of conservation and hunting after the January Prop 127 vote in Colorado. They also break down potential new legislation and ballot initiatives threatening the future of hunting in the state. The 2026 political year is shaping up to be pivotal. We discuss what's really behind these anti-hunting pushes, how they could disrupt decades of conservation work, and what hunters need to know right now to defend their lifestyle and Colorado's wildlife management model. In 2026, hunting and sound wildlife science under the North American Model of Wildlife Management will be under attack in unprecedented ways; we need to be ready!Check out Dan's Podcast, "Through the Gates": https://throughthegates.buzzsprout.com/ Help Support CRWM Here: https://savethehuntcolorado.com/suppo...
