Then, Denver Post reporter Sam Tabachnik on his investigation into the death of a 7-year-old Grand County boy and the questions it raises about child abuse investigations.

Is the tide turning against oil and gas in Colorado? Last week, Denver City Council turned down a $25 million contract with Suncor, the Commerce City oil refinery that has been the subject of scrutiny by neighborhood groups and climate activists for decades over pollution issues. But one industry leader dismissed the move as “political grandstanding.”  So host Bree Davies is talking to Denver Post environmental reporter Noelle Phillips, who has been covering the Suncor debate for years to talk about why the pushback is coming now and what it's really going to mean for Denverites.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter Hey Denver at denver.citycast.fm.

Business owners and entrepreneurs who mess up royally might take cold comfort in Al Lewis's Substack, BusinessBlunders.com, which regularly details the boneheaded choices and outright illegal antics of a rogues gallery of today's and yesteryear's CEOs and senior executives. For most readers, Al's independent newsletter is an opportunity to learn from other people's mistakes, which is, as he puts it, “is a lot less costly than learning from your own.” Among his recent posts is an article titled Lost In Love: Top CEOs who kissed away their jobs, featuring, among others, Kohl's CEO Ashley Buchanan, BP CEO Bernard Looney, and McDonald's CEO Steve Easterbrook. Al is a veteran journalist and editor, having served as business editor of the Houston Chronicle and The Denver Post, and Markets Editor at CNBC. You won't want to miss this episode. Doing so would be a business blunder of the first order. Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

Kyle Newman, Denver Post Previews Rockies Padres And More.

Hello Colorado Rapids fans. Holding The High Line is back after Red's trip to England Rabbi's lost power. We break down Colorado's 2-1 loss at D.C. United and much more. Matt discusses his week off, Fulham games, history adventures with the girlfriend and all. We touch on the 1-1 draw with Seattle Sounders but go more in depth on the United game. What went well? Do the Rapids need more leadership? What's up with things going wrong at the end of halves? We discuss. Update: We might have gotten some stuff wrong on Chris Armas missing the D.C. United game because of his Hall of Fame induction. We understand he missed the game because of a mechanical issue, not weather. Maybe a charter flight or private jet would have prevented the problem all together. Then we talk about all the soccer news. Michael Edwards got loaned to Charleston Battery. Colorado is close to signing Australian center back Lucas Herrington, as first brought up by Judgmental Jim. A match against LAFC might be rescheduled. We're hyped for the Unified Teams' May 17 game. Denver NWSL has added Mikaela Shiffrin to their ownership group ahead of the city council vote on $70 million in public funding for the project. The Denver Post, Denverite, and City Cast Denver did a great job covering this issue, tax increment financing (TIF) and all. We preview the big match against San Jose Earthquakes. Also, Switchbacks lost to RBNY in Open Cup.

Lindsay is joined by author Samuel Marquis to discuss his book, “Captain Kidd: A True Story of Treasure and Betrayal,” which will be released on May 13, 2025, by Diversion Books. Captain Kidd has captivated imaginations for over 300 years and inspired many stories about pirates, but was he a criminal? Just how many ships did he plunder, how many men did he force to walk the plank, and how many throats did he slit? Or is the truth more inconvenient, that he was a buccaneer's worst nightmare, a revered pirate hunter turned fall guy for scheming politicians?  In “Captain Kidd,” Marquis reveals the real story. Kidd was an English-American privateer and a leading New York husband and father, dubbed “trusty and well-beloved” by the King of England himself and described by historians as a “worthy, honest-hearted, steadfast, much-enduring sailor” who was the “victim of a deliberate travesty of justice.” With honors far more esteemed than the menacing Blackbeard or any other sea rover at the turn of the 17th century, how can Kidd be considered both a gentleman and pirate, both hero and villain? The ninth-great-grandson of legendary privateer Captain William Kidd, Samuel Marquis, M.S., P.G., is a professional hydrogeologist, expert witness, and bestselling, award-winning author of 12 American nonfiction-history, historical fiction, and suspense books, covering primarily the period from colonial America through WWII. His American history and historical fiction books have been #1 Denver Post and Amazon bestsellers, and have received multiple national book awards in both fiction and nonfiction categories, including the Kirkus Reviews and Foreword Reviews Book of the Year, American Book Fest and USA Best Book, Readers' Favorite, and the Colorado Book Awards. His historical titles have also garnered glowing reviews from #1 bestseller James Patterson, maritime historians, U.S. military veterans, Kirkus Reviews, and Foreword Reviews (5 Stars). His pirate book, “Blackbeard: The Birth of America,” has been an Amazon #1 Bestseller in U.S. Colonial Period History. The Marquis lives with his wife in Louisville, Colorado, where they raised their three children.

Le libéral Mark Carney, actuel Premier ministre par intérim, semble conserver un léger avantage sur le conservateur Pierre Poilievre, d'après les derniers sondages d'intentions de vote. Jour de vote ce lundi (28 avril 2025) au Canada. Favori, il y a quelques mois, le camp conservateur canadien s'est fait rattraper par les Libéraux, désormais en tête des sondages. «C'est un chamboulement inattendu, les Libéraux pourraient même rafler une majorité au Congrès», explique notre envoyée spéciale Marine de La Moissonnière, en direct d'Ottawa. Cela s'explique par les attaques répétées de Donald Trump qui ont dicté la campagne canadienne. De plus, le candidat libéral a recentré son programme vers la gauche, afin de rassembler plus d'électeurs. Près de 7.3 millions de Canadiens et Canadiennes ont déjà voté par anticipation, «preuve que cette élection passionne», indique notre reporter sur place.La fin de campagne a été marquée par un drame, ce week-end. Une voiture-bélier a foncé dans la foule lors d'un festival de la communauté philippine à Vancouver, en Colombie-Britannique. Bilan : des dizaines de blessés et 11 morts, dont une victime brésilienne, nous apprend la Folha de Sao Paulo. «Il n'y a pas de mots», titre le Vancouver Sun, «la communauté est en deuil et tente de comprendre l'attaque».Des commémorations ont eu lieu dimanche dans un «silence» pesant, jusqu'à ce qu'une femme entonne le chant Amazing Grace, raconte le média La Presse. Sur place, les reporters ont trouvé des riverains sous le choc : «C'était horrible», se souvient un témoin, «on entendait les cris de ceux qui avaient tout perdu, et les enfants pleuraient». Le suspect, inculpé pour meurtre, connu de la police et des services sociaux de santé mentale, aurait agi sans motivation terroriste, rappelle La Presse canadienne. En Haïti, la résurgence du choléraLes déplacés, déjà chassés de chez eux par la violence des gangs, sont contraints de vivre dans des conditions déplorables dans des sites, le plus souvent loin d'être adaptés à l'accueil de familles. Dans certains lieux d'accueil de Port-au-Prince, les déplacés sont donc aussi victimes du choléra. Tous les jours, l'ONG Médecins sans frontières enregistre de nouveaux cas. « Nous n'avons pas accès à l'eau potable, nous n'avons pas le choix que d'utiliser de l'eau de très mauvaise qualité », témoigne un habitant au micro de notre correspondant Peterson Luxama.La justice haïtienne se dote de deux nouveaux pôles judiciairesUn décret mettant en place deux pôles judiciaires vient de paraître en Haïti. L'un concerne la répression des crimes financier, l'autre, les crimes de masse et les violences sexuelles. C'est un pas vers le renforcement de l'état de droit, d'après l'Union européenne, car Haïti ne manque pas seulement de moyens et de policiers pour lutter contre les gangs, le pays n'a pas non plus les outils juridiques pour sanctionner les criminels. Ces deux nouveaux pôles constituent «une approche nouvelle» et favoriseront le traitement «d'affaires complexes», explique Gédéon Jean, directeur exécutif du Centre d'analyse et de recherche en droits de l'homme, le CARDDH, interrogé par Vincent Souriau.En République Dominicaine, des manifestations contre l'immigration haïtienne Ces manifestations étaient à l'appel du groupe nationaliste Antigua Orden Dominicana, l'ancien ordre dominicain. Le journal Listin Diario décrit les pancartes xénophobes des manifestants : «Stop aux femmes enceintes haïtiennes» ou bien «les Haïtiens te prennent ton emploi» ainsi que la tenue, des vêtements noirs, des membres du groupe paramilitaire. Quelques centaines de manifestants étaient présents.Ces derniers sont accusés, indique le média Acento, d'avoir «agressé» les militants de partis de gauche et communistes réunis, eux, pour commémorer la révolution d'avril 1965. Ces partis en ont profité pour dénoncer, écrit Acento, «le faux nationalisme, prétexte à un vrai racisme, qui dénigre le peuple frère haïtien». États-Unis : plus de 100 personnes sans-papiers arrêtées dans le Colorado C'est l'une des opérations les plus massives depuis le début du mandat de Donald Trump. L'opération a eu lieu, au petit matin, dimanche, dans une boîte de nuit clandestine de la ville de Colorado Springs, explique le Denver Post. Seules les personnes sans papiers ont été gardées en détention.D'après le journal local, une douzaine de militaires américains étaient aussi clients ou employés de l'établissement. Les autorités affirment que la boîte de nuit abritait du trafic de drogue, de la prostitution, des armes. Et était fréquentée, de plus, par des gangs latino-américains. Le Denver Post précise que les autorités n'ont pas prouvé, pour le moment, de liens entre les sans-papiers détenus et ces gangs.De son côté, le New York Times rapporte les expulsions de trois jeunes enfants, de 2, 4 et 7 ans, de nationalité américaine, renvoyés vers le Honduras avec leur mère qui n'avait pas de papiers. «Ce que nous voyons ces derniers jours est horrible et déconcertant», s'indigne une avocate des enfants, dans le journal new yorkais.La presse américaine dresse aussi le bilan de la guerre commerciale avec la Chine. Et le New York Times choisit pour cela, un dessin. L'infographie interactive «Votre maison sans la Chine», nous apprend en se baladant dans ce dessin d'une maison américaine typique, on découvre qu'aux États-Unis la quasi-totalité des poussettes, des réveils, des plantes artificielles ou encore des grille-pain et des barbecues sont importés de Chine. Des objets frappés de 145% de taxes. Leur prix risque d'augmenter même si «la fabrication de certains objets a déjà été déplacée au Mexique ou au Vietnam», nuance le journal new yorkais.

Sean Keller from the Denver Post joined the show. Sean joined to talk about Shedeur Sanders and why his draft stock is all over the place. Sean said the bad mechanics and his family are reasons why he is sliding a bit. Sean said there are teams that don't want all of the baggage that comes along with Sanders, like the Giants. The guys asked Sean where Sanders ranks among guys the Steelers currently have, which isn't saying much. Sean said the good with Sanders does outweigh the bad, but said the bad can get you beat. Sean said he doesn't know a single Colorado player that doesn't like Shedeur, showing that he goes over well with his teammates. He talked about making Colorado better and work with multiple OCs. Sean thinks Pittsburgh would be a good fit, but he definitely needs help.

The local and national members of the media are in a battle. One side says Shedeur Sanders will be the pick while the other thinks it's a smokescreen. Which side do you come down on? The guys pointed out how we have seen this over the years from Mike Tomlin leading up to the selection meeting. We took a trip through the Gerry Dulac chat with some interesting draft related questions and answers. Sean Keller from the Denver Post joined the show.

In this episode, we talk with Colorado's Holly Lovell as she was enjoying some off time with her family in New Zealand. We visit about how she developed her vocal chops, seasons or writing and making what you're capable of in the moment as to not stifle your creativity.     Indie folk singer/songwriter Holly Lovell released her album Hello Chelsea to the world on February 7, 2025. The album was produced in Eau Claire, WI with Brian Joseph (Bon Iver).   Holly Lovell, crafts songs that capture aching intimacy and vulnerability through perceptive storytelling. Using a mix of both acoustic and electric guitar, Lovell's alternative folk style songs are delivered with strong melodies and spirited conviction. She has been influenced by the lyrical prowess of artists such as Patty Griffin, Brandi Carlile and Bruce Springsteen.  Lovell's vocals have been likened to both Maggie Rogers and Ingrid Michaelson ‘but with far more gumption.' says The Denver Post, ‘She understands her songs and the power behind the lyrics. It's personal for her, for her band and every person that listens.'   Check Holly out here:  Website: hollylovell.com  IG: Hollylovell_  Facebook: Holly Lovell  TikTok: Hollylovell_   And check out Sweet Bloom Coffee Roasters here: https://sweetbloomcoffee.com/

Joshua Maddux, an 18-year-old from Woodland Park, Colorado, vanished on May 8, 2008, after going for a walk. A bright, creative teen who loved nature, he seemed happy despite the 2006 suicide of his brother. After five days, his family reported him missing, but searches yielded nothing. In August 2015, his body was found in the chimney of an abandoned cabin near his home, upside down in a fetal position, wearing only a shirt, with his clothes folded inside the cabin. The coroner ruled his death an accident, suggesting he climbed in and got stuck, dying of hypothermia or dehydration. However, the cabin owner claimed a grate blocked the chimney, making entry impossible, and the coroner noted two people would be needed to place the body there. Rumors point to foul play, including a tip about Andrew Richard Newman, a convicted murderer seen with Josh, but no evidence supports this. The case remains an accident with no active police investigation, leaving questions about how Josh ended up in the chimney and whether others were involved.   00:00 Welcome to the Dark Oak 05:15 100 Episode Celebration and Giveaway 07:50 Joshua Maddux 48:18 The Branch of Hope   Sources: Roberts, M.

It's been two weeks since ICE picked up immigration activist Jeanette Vizguerra and her lawyers are now arguing that her detainment is unconstitutional and violates the First Amendment. Meanwhile at the statehouse, lawmakers are debating the financial impacts of reproductive healthcare access on the state's budget after voters enshrined the right to abortion in the Colorado constitution last year. Host Bree Davies is joined by Denver Post immigration reporter Megan Ulu-Lani Boyanton to discuss her latest coverage, and a listener calls in with a list of brass bands to know around the Mile High. Listener Billy from Lakewood recommended Guerilla Fanfare Brass Band, Badaboom Brass Band, Gora Gora Orkestar, and Brothers of Brass.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter Hey Denver at denver.citycast.fm.

It was a big week for rallies and protests — supporters of detained immigration activist Jeanette Vizguerra took to the streets, union workers gathered at the Capitol, and Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are slated for a big rally in Civic Center Park this evening. Will Denver Dems show up to “fight oligarchy”? Our politics and green chile correspondent Justine Sandoval joins producer Paul Karolyi and host Bree Davies to dig into the local Democratic divide, plus the implications of a brand new stadium at the site of the old Gates Rubber Plant, the uncertain future of Glendale's long-awaited entertainment district, and more wins and fails of the week.  Paul talked about Denver Bike Fest (April 26, City Park), the latest Glendale lawsuit, the Denver Post's congressional vote tracker, the CSU vegetable bracket, and the Denver Gazette's history of Gates Rubber Plant. Bree mentioned the money raised by black license plates and the Westwood Rec Center. Justine talked about Denver's FEMA money and un-banned books.  The song you heard at the end of this episode is “Oligarch Slank” by Rubedo.  What do you think about the plans for the NWSL stadium?

“Who is Abraham Gonzalez?” That pointed question to Mayor Mike Johnston during his big congressional hearing last Wednesday sparked a wave of fresh reporting on how exactly Denver is coordinating with ICE — or not. So today Westword editor Patty Calhoun joins producer Paul Karolyi to talk about what national Republicans saw that the local media might be missing. Plus, there's a new private security force on the streets in LoDo and listeners have thoughts on Mayor Mike and the state of downtown.  Paul mentioned Kyle Clark's post-hearing interview with Mayor Johnston on 9News, the Denver Post's article on what Republicans could be planning next, and some conservative coverage of the sanctuary cities hearing. You can learn more about the new Ballpark GID and its mission here.  How much do you think Denver should be coordinating with ICE? We want to hear from you!

What's the best way to get to DIA? The A Line is not the most accessible option for everyone, and Peña Boulevard always seems to be slammed with traffic. With the airport already crazy crowded, and plans in the works for even more growth, city and airport leaders have been talking a lot over the past few years about expanding the highway. But then last week, the expansion proposal hit a roadblock, with City Council postponing a vote on a key contract. So today, we're sharing a conversation we had back in August 2023 with Denver Post reporter Jon Murray about why this highway expansion is so controversial.  DIA celebrated its 30th anniversary last week, with airport officials announcing plans for $12.8 billion worth of improvements and expansions over the next 12 years, including a seventh runway.  What do you think should be done about the airport commute problem?

Mayor Mike Johnston was in DC on Wednesday for a high-stakes congressional hearing as part of the House Oversight Committee's investigation into “sanctuary jurisdictions.” With threats of federal funding cuts looming, the mayor defended his approach to immigration and faced hard questions from Republicans, including Rep. Lauren Boebert. We watched the whole marathon hearing, and then we sat down with returning guest and State Sen. Julie Gonzales, who has worked on immigration issues for more than 15 years, to decode the political theater and talk about what's at stake for Denverites and our new neighbors.  We mentioned our interview with Mayor Johnston last week and his comments on how he has been preparing for this investigation. You might also be interested in reading some of the national coverage of Mayor Johnston's trip to DC, like this report from The Wall Street Journal, or one of these liveblogs of the hearing from our friends at Denverite or The Denver Post. We didn't even talk about the accusation that Mayor Johnston violated federal law! Senadora Gonzales mentioned the fact that the conservative-leaning Cato Institute has reported that President Trump's policies are costly and making America less safe.  How do you think the mayor did in DC?

Psychedelic-assisted therapy centers are set to open this spring across Colorado and applications to operate them in Denver are rolling in. But how does this new type of treatment fit into the complicated and often gray areas within decriminalized psychedelics? What types of practitioners can offer this kind of therapy? And who could benefit from the treatment? Tiney Riccardi at the Denver Post has been reporting on the long, strange trip to regulate magic mushrooms and similar substances in the state. She joins host Bree Davies to dig into the details of these therapy centers and explains what you need to know as the industry grows and evolves. Get your tickets to HEYDAY now!

The threat of ICE raids is looming over the Denver metro area now that President Trump's ‘Operation Aurora' has officially begun. A reported 30 people were arrested in the first official immigration enforcement raids last Wednesday, but rumors are swirling about what exactly happened (and where those 30 people are being held). Denver Post immigration reporter Megan Ulu-lani Boyanton has been on the ground tracking the raids, and she joins host Bree Davies to break down exactly what we know, what we don't, and what's coming next. Megan also responds to and explains Border Czar Tom Homan's allegation that ICE failed to hit its goal of arresting 100 people because the “local media” tipped off activist groups.  Get your tickets to HEYDAY now!

This week, we're revisiting one of our favorite conversations! During a past trip to Denver, Bob and Ben had the privilege of sitting down with journalist and historian Dick Kreck at the historic Brown Palace Hotel to discuss the fascinating history of Denver and its development in the 19th and early 20th centuries. With more than four decades of experience as a reporter for The San Francisco Examiner, The LA Times, and The Denver Post, Kreck has also published numerous books on the history of Colorado and the American West. In this episode, he shares his incredible insights on western migration, the construction of the transcontinental railroad, and how the Denver of today reflects its storied past. We are reairing this episode in memory of Dick Kreck, who passed away on December 4, 2024. You can read his obituary here.    

Now that Donald Trump has been sworn back in as president, Denverites are bracing for change, especially on the issue of immigration. The Wall Street Journal reported over the weekend that the president is getting to work on his mass deportation plan, with ICE raids potentially happening in Denver as soon as this week. So host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi are talking about how the mayor, Denver Public Schools, and the conservative suburbs are responding. Plus, we have been getting tons of great questions and comments, so we're responding to a few of our favorites on crime downtown, the appeal of the suburbs, and “Class Traitor Joe's.” Bree talked about Casa de Paz. Paul recommends this explainer for the rights you should know when it comes to possible ICE raids and deportations, as well as some of the Denver Post reporting on Mayor Johnston and Douglas County, Superintendent Marrero's letter to DPS principals, and our friends at City Cast Chicago's take on the immigration situation. He also mentioned this breakdown of Trader Joe's legal actions against the NLRB. Get your tickets to HEYDAY now!

The Broncos are headed to the playoffs for the first time in nine years. But do they deserve a new stadium? And should taxpayers pay for it? It's Friday and we're looking back at the biggest news of the week, starting with an investigative series from the Denver Post digging into the economics and politics of big stadium projects. Then, beyond Blucifer and the big blue bear, is there a third big blue creature out there? Host Bree Davies, producer Paul Karolyi, and politics and green chile correspondent Justine Sandoval dig into these stories, plus the District 31 senate vacancy vote, a loss for the local music scene, and more highs and lows of the week. Bree talked about our interview with historian David Forsyth about Manhattan Beach and Roger the Elephant. She also mentioned Jason Heller's memorial piece in Westword about the passing of musician Luke Fairchild and you heard from one of his many bands, Kingdom of Magic. She also discussed the Park People's Denver Digs Trees low-cost tree program. Paul mentioned this 1998 article about Kyle Shanahan and the Broncos' campaign for a new stadium, the Littleton rezoning situation, and Matt Ball. Justine talked about snow tires and the state budget deficit.  What is your “toxic Colorado trait”? It you're brave enough to share, we want to hear it!

Given how many people have flocked to Denver because of our proximity to the mountains, craft beer scene, or recreational marijuana, you'd think it'd be easier than ever for singles to connect. But maybe shared interests aren't the problem; maybe it's a question of shared goals? Or maybe the apps just aren't as effective as we'd like to think they are? Westword's Hannah Metzger and Megan Ulu-Lani Boyanton from the Denver Post have both been reporting on dating in the Mile High, and earlier this year they joined host Bree Davies to share their insights into how people are — or aren't — having luck finding partners. We're revisiting this conversation today to dig into the pros and cons of Denver's dating scene, whether or not the apps have become obsolete, and how the city's stereotypes affect how we date. Hannah reported on our city's dating scene being a “dumpster fire” and also recapped the Denver edition (and all-time least-successful season) of “Married at First Sight.” Megan interviewed the guys who took out a billboard looking for love for their single brother and wrote about how “Menver” has fizzled out; she also joined us in February to talk about dating stereotypes. Do you have a Denver dating horror story or meet-cute anecdote to share? Leave us a voicemail or shoot us a text at 720-500-5418 and you might hear it on the show!
