Podcasts about The Denver Post

Parker joins us to talk about Stibbs' beloved Denver Broncos.

This episode of the Dan Caplis Show is a wild ride, full of humor, politics, and thought-provoking discussions. The host dives into the Denver Post's list of the 150 most influential Coloradans, exposing its glaring biases and omissions. From the absence of notable figures like Bill Owens and Julia Greeley to the inclusion of Dottie Lamb, a Democrat first lady, the host isn't afraid to speak his mind. The conversation covers a range of topics, including the importance of being prepared for potential cyber attacks, the recent news about Hickenlooper's video on affordability, and the fascinating story of Jon Stewart's courageous take on Dr. Fauci's claims. The host also shares a hilarious anecdote about his encounter with Rodney Dangerfield and discusses the significance of the Denver Post's list in the context of Colorado's history. Throughout the episode, the host engages with listeners, taking calls and responding to texts, and even gets into a humorous exchange with a caller who claims to have been a crack cocaine dealer. The conversation also touches on the Democratic Party's shift towards socialism and its potential impact on the 2024 election. If you're interested in hearing more about the Denver Post's list, the importance of being prepared for cyber attacks, and the host's humorous take on current events, tune in to this episode of the Dan Caplis Show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode of the Dan Caplis Show is a thought-provoking discussion about the one hundred and fifty most influential people in Colorado history. The Denver Post recently released a list of the top one hundred and fifty, but the speaker has some major issues with its political bias. He argues that the list is skewed towards certain individuals who don't necessarily deserve to be there, while others who have made significant contributions to the state are left out. The speaker highlights several examples of people who he believes should be on the list, including Bill Owens, a two-term governor with a long list of accomplishments, and Julia Greeley, a former slave who became known as the Angel of Denver for her charitable work. He also mentions Kendrick Castillo, a student who gave his life to save his classmates and teachers during a school shooting. On the other hand, he questions why Mason Tvert, a mouthpiece for the marijuana industry, made the list while these individuals did not. The speaker also touches on the topic of Anthony Fauci, discussing a recent revelation that he may have been involved in a scandal involving a lab in Wuhan, China. He shares a humorous take on the situation, referencing a joke from John Stewart about the lab's name being the same as the disease it was supposed to be studying. The speaker invites listeners to share their thoughts on who they think should be on the list of the one hundred and fifty most influential people in Colorado history. He also asks for their opinions on whether Anthony Fauci should face consequences for his actions, and whether the list's political bias is a problem.

You know that busted old, abandoned home down the block? City officials revamped the regulations around these neglected properties last year with the hope of cleaning them up and stopping the drain on public resources. But according to a new report from the Denver Post, there are still some issues around enforcement, including a loophole one local investor, John Crays, has been exploiting to acquire derelict properties and sell them for a profit. In light of this ongoing quagmire, we're revisiting a conversation host Bree Davies had with then-Westword reporter Catie Cheshire last June about why these abandoned properties are so difficult to deal with and why some people might see John Crays as a hero.  On background: The City of Denver added 160 properties to its list of neglected and derelict buildings in 2024 for a total of more than 250 across the city. In 2026, with City Council's new regulations in effect, the total number of unique addresses listed has gone down to 241, according to an update published earlier this month.

EPISODE 531 PARKER GABRIEL OF THE DENVER POST by Pirate Radio 92.7FM Greenville

1. Just how much of a game-changer do the Broncos think they have with Jaylen Waddle? 2. What are the possible occurrences this season that may force the Broncos to change their minds about making a long-term financial commitment to Bo Nix? 3. To the surprise (if not outright shock) of many, Sean Payton announced at the NFL Scouting Combine back in February that he was giving up offensive play-calling duties to new OC Davis Webb, who is viewed as a fast rising star in NFL coaching circles. But as you know in the NFL, when perception meets reality in the NFL, the latter more often than not makes the former look foolish. As promising as Davis Webb may be, he has no previous play-calling experience whatsoever, and one of your colleagues on the Broncos beat, Troy Renck of the Denver Post, is enormously skeptical this move will pay off. He believes that, barring say a top-10 offensive season from start to finish, that it's a matter of WHEN (not IF) Sean Payton yanks back play-calling responsibilities. Do you agree with Troy's sentiment, and if so, to what degree? 4. Can you see a world where Jonah Coleman is the Broncos main early-down back at the start of the 2027 season?5. How high is the likelihood that one of Riley Moss or Ja'Quan McMillian gets traded at some point during the season? 6. What are some of the top training camp storylines (roster battles, etc.) that Broncos fans should be monitoring come July 31?7. Can you think of some reasons the 2026 Broncos will NOT succumb to a similar fate as the 2023 Vikings and the 2025 Chiefs did? 8. Broncos 2026 Season Predictions

On today's show, The Denver Post's Luca Evan joins the show to discuss the Denver Broncos training camp, Bo Nix and his relationship with Sean Payton. Luca will be moving to the Bay Area to cover the Golden State Warriors beat for the San Francisco Chronicle. Luca Evans shares details around his departure and core memories from covering the Denver Broncos during the 2025 season.

On Tuesday night, Mayor Mike Johnston delivered his annual State of the City address, which included a pilot program for universal childcare, plans for supporting developers in building 20,000 housing units across Denver, and more. Will listening sessions and task forces lead to a more affordable city? Denver Post city government reporter Elliott Wenzler was at the speech and is on today with host Bree Davies to parse the details – or lack thereof – in the mayor's major plans. Then they discuss Council member Shontel Lewis's entrance into the 2027 mayor's race, what the democratic socialism wave could mean for Denver politics, and why a new poll shows Coloradans are “somewhat” proud to live here.

In a scathing critique, the speaker takes aim at the Denver Post's coverage of Phil Wiser's lieutenant governor pick, Leslie Dalkemper. The paper's glowing description of Dalkemper as a "bridge builder" and "healer" is met with skepticism, as the speaker digs into her record on the Jefferson County school board and her husband's lobbying career.This episode delves into the details of Dalkemper's past, including her vote against equal funding for charter school students and her role in implementing a permanent tax refund elimination in Jefferson County. The speaker also examines the potential conflict of interest posed by Dalkemper's husband's lobbying career, particularly his work at the state's largest lobbying firm. Meanwhile, the speaker questions the Denver Post's decision to gloss over these issues in their coverage.The conversation also touches on the broader implications of Wiser's pick, including the potential for a bigger state government and the elimination of tax refunds. The speaker argues that this move would benefit special interests, including the lobbying firm where Dalkemper's husband works. Additionally, the episode explores the state's economic woes, including the loss of payroll jobs and the decline of Colorado's competitiveness.If you're interested in learning more about the details of Dalkemper's record and the implications of Wiser's pick, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's in-depth analysis and critique of the Denver Post's coverage.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pat Oliphant, one of the most influential political cartoonists of the 20th and 21st centuries, has died.

Born in 1964, he is widely syndicated. Thompson's work frequently appears in USA Today and other major outlets. Born Patrick Bruce Oliphant on July 24, 1935, in Adelaide, Australia, he began his career as a news illustrator for The Adelaide Advertiser before moving to the United States in 1964.Hired by The Denver Post, Oliphant quickly gained national attention for his bold, fluid line work and savage wit. In 1974 he won the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning. His cartoons appeared in over 500 newspapers through universal syndication, making him a daily fixture in American political discourse for more than five decades.Oliphant's signature creation was “Punk,” a small, irreverent, tufted bird who often appeared in the corner of panels delivering a final dry or biting comment. His style blended elegant draftsmanship with ferocious satire, skewering presidents from Lyndon Johnson to Barack Obama with equal glee. He famously said he drew “not to change minds, but to make people angry enough to think.”Later in life he expanded into sculpture and fine-art painting while continuing to produce cartoons. Oliphant's work is held in major collections including the Library of Congress.

Parents and daycare providers have been sounding the alarm that childcare in Denver is expensive, hard to find, or hard to provide. This week, City Council took a small step to hopefully alleviate some of the struggle. Denver Post city government reporter Elliott Wenzler joins host Bree Davies to discuss this regulatory shift in childcare, plus City Council's other recent debate that could overhaul Denver's nightlife scene.

With one statewide race still too close to call, we take Colorado's political pulse after the primary election. We dip into victory speeches and get insight from a panel of politicos: Alton Dillard, an unaffiliated communications specialist; Bianca Emerson, a Democratic political strategist and president of Colorado Black Women for Political Action; and Republican Krista Kafer, weekly opinion columnist for the Denver Post. 

In the final hour of Dover and Cecil, the guys look at NBA free agency! Did the Nuggets do anything to improve their roster in the first 24 hours? We react to some audio from Brian Windhorst! Is there some real traction with LeBron James and the Nuggets? If LeBron wants to compete for another title, does Denver make more sense than we realized? We got a new report from the Denver Post that may add some more credibility to this move! We’re looking at a different Broncos player every day. Where does Pat Bryant sit in this Broncos rotation? Could he have a bigger impact on this team, or will he be relegated to a lesser role?

After racking up two Michelin stars and opening six restaurants in less than three years, Johnny and Kasie Curiel are the Denver restaurant industry's biggest success story. So how, at a time when so many other restaurateurs are struggling, closing, or calling for minimum wage reform, did they pull this off? And how long can it last? Producer Paul Karolyi sits down with the married co-owners of Fonda Fina Hospitality to talk about how they met, how their company was inspired by a national restaurant chain, and why they “literally put their lives on the line to follow their dreams,” as their friend and fellow chef Michael Diaz de Leon put it to the Denver Post. Plus, their favorite local spots to try today! Paul referenced his interview with Chef Michael Diaz de Leon from back in March 2024, when he had just stepped away from the restaurant where he earned a Michelin star. Also mentioned in this episode are Molino Chido, Diaz de Leon's new taco spot at Stanley Marketplate; El Tule; Heretik; Hillstone; Cherry Creek Grill; and  Panadería el Alamo.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter at denver.citycast.fm.

Zach and Phil debate which Bronco lost the most stock during minicamp. Is Marvin Mims now expendable on the offense with the arrival of Jaylen Waddle? With Waddle's versatility, will they be able to line him up all over the field and even in the backfield? Has Caleb Lohner lost his chance at making the roster with his missed time on the field? The guys react to an article from the Denver Post detailing CU legend Darian Hagan's rocky relationship with the university since Deion Sanders arrived in Boulder. Phil shares about his time with Hagan and how he changed Phil's life as a coach. Has Deion Sanders alienated former Buffs football players by failing to embrace the program's history?

With the NBA Draft tomorrow, we react to the rumors of the Nuggets trading Zeke Nnaji. Will the Nuggets be able to move on from a bad contract by attaching a first-round draft pick to him in a trade? Will this move provide the financial flexibility the Nuggets are looking for?

The article in question is about Victor Marx, a candidate in the GOP primary, and whether the Post's editorial was intended to help or hurt his chances. Dan dives into the details of the piece, highlighting both the positive and negative aspects of Marx's campaign. One thing's for sure - this editorial is not just a run-of-the-mill endorsement or criticism, but a complex analysis that's got everyone weighing in. The discussion touches on the Post's portrayal of Marx, including a photo that's been interpreted in different ways by Dan, Ryan, and guest Dick Wadhams. Dan argues that the photo is a deliberate attempt to humanize Marx, while Wadhams sees it as a sign of the Post's intention to hurt his campaign. The conversation also delves into the specifics of Marx's charity work and the claims made about his involvement in international aid efforts. As the primary election heats up, the stakes are high, and the speaker's analysis of the Post's editorial is a must-listen for anyone following the campaign. With the primary just two weeks away, the outcome is far from certain, and this episode offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics at play.

When it comes to numbers, the story of drug-related overdose deaths in America is simple. They increased slowly and steadily through the early Trump years until a big jump during the pandemic. But that's where Colorado is diverging. The Denver Post recently reported on preliminary numbers from the CDPHE that show overdose deaths increasing here in 2025, when most of the rest of the country was declining. Harm Reduction Action Center's Executive Director, Lisa Raville, joins host Bree Davies to talk about why.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 29, 2026 is: cohort • KOH-hort • noun Cohort refers to a group or band of individuals, as in “a cohort of supporters.” It can also be used for a group of individuals who have a statistical factor (such as age) in common in a demographic study, as in “a cohort of people born in the 1980s.” Cohort can be used for individuals too, as for a friend, companion, or colleague, but it is almost always used in its plural form. // I wouldn't have made it through graduate school without the help of my supportive cohort. See the entry > Examples: “By the time Rosie emerged ... for her afternoon meet-and-greet, the line of guests eager to hold the famed tarantula had already wrapped around the room and into the hallway. ... Tarantulas need to be at least 10 years old to be handled, so rearing a new cohort of Rosies could take up to a decade.” — Laura Penington, The Denver Post, 18 Aug. 2025 Did you know? In ancient times, a cohort was a military unit, one of ten divisions in a Roman legion. The term passed into English in the 15th century, when it was used in translations and writings about Roman history. Once cohort became established in our language, its meaning was extended, first to refer to any body of troops, then to any group of individuals with something in common (as in “a cohort of law students” or “a cohort of people who were born in the same year”), and later to a single companion. Some writers on usage have objected to this last sense because it can be hard to tell whether the plural refers to different individuals or different groups. The “companion” sense is well established in standard use, however, and its meaning is clear enough in such sentences as “her cohorts came along with her to the game.”

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 14, 2026 is: imbroglio • im-BROHL-yoh • noun Imbroglio is a formal word that refers to a complex dispute or argument. // Much of the sisters' text thread involves the latest imbroglios on their favorite reality show—who's mad at who for what, and why. See the entry > Examples: “A tangled web of interpersonal feuds, played out in letters to the local newspaper, in social media posts and via legal filings in county court, has left the town with no clear path out of a situation that's not covered by state law. The imbroglio has even reached the state Capitol ...” — Seth Klamann and Sam Tabachnik, The Denver Post, 8 Mar. 2026 Did you know? Ever noticed how an imbroglio embroils people in controversy? There's a reason for that—an etymological one, anyway. Both the noun imbroglio (referring to, among other things, a scandal or bitter argument) and verb embroil (“to involve in conflicts or difficulties”) come from the Middle French word embrouiller, a combination of the prefix en- and brouiller, meaning “to jumble,” though they took slightly different paths. Embroil's was direct, passing from Middle French through French and into English around the turn of the 16th century. Italians altered embrouiller to form imbrogliare, meaning “to entangle,” which spawned the noun imbroglio that English speakers embraced in the mid-18th century. English imbroglio first referred to a confused mass, and later expanded to cover confusing social situations such as complicated disputes, misunderstandings, and scandals.
