Podcasts about Grand Junction

Tony went fly fishing in Grand Junction and caught absolutely nothing. Mike went fly fishing at Deckers and caught a rainbow trout in the lip on his first real attempt. These are the facts. From there, things spiral: the Dirtyheads dropped a new album (Seven Seas), David Foral is hosting a pop-up at Federales, Elon Musk officially became the world's first trillionaire (SpaceX went public — congrats to all of us, we guess), a woman swallowed her AirPod and spent four days with a plastic baggie and a disposable fork, and a man in Detroit had a splinter in his eye for fifteen years and his vision was almost perfect. We also covered cryogenic preservation, the Coca-Cola Magic Cans of 1990, prehistoric humans hunting short-faced bears in their sleep (literally), platypus venom, a 507-year-old clam that scientists killed just to find out how old it was, and a reminder that only 44% of your cells are actually yours. Shoutout to Kyle — the first lungfish to crawl out of the water and start all of this.Cheers!m&t

Born in Grand Junction, Colorado, our guest's story begins in the rugged working-class towns of the American West and South—places where grit wasn't optional, it was survival. Raised in a coal mining family, with both parents working under his grandfather and a father who spent years as a roughneck, he grew up surrounded by hard labor, discipline, and resilience. Life wasn't always easy. His father battled alcoholism and could be harsh at times, but through the chaos came lessons in toughness, accountability, and perseverance. Sports like hockey, baseball, and football became an outlet during an otherwise grounded, blue-collar upbringing that would shape the man he would later become. In December 2004, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, beginning a journey that would forever alter the course of his life. After completing infantry school and Airborne training at Fort Benning, he earned his place as a sniper with 1st Squadron, 40th Cavalry. Deployed to Southeast Baghdad in 2006, he endured the brutal realities of combat, surviving multiple near-death experiences and earning two Purple Hearts after a bombing and a devastating VBIED attack on his patrol base. The scars of war followed him home—both visible and invisible—and the battle for survival didn't end when the deployment did. What came next was a downward spiral few saw coming. Struggling to adjust after the military, one bad decision led to another—eventually pulling him into addiction, drug dealing, and a prison sentence that could have defined the rest of his life. But in June 2017, everything changed when he got sober from opiates and began rebuilding from the ground up. After his release, he met the woman who would become his wife, started a family, and rediscovered his faith. Today, while continuing to battle a liver disease connected to illnesses contracted during deployment, he stands as a living example of resilience, redemption, and the possibility of rebuilding a life after trauma, addiction, and war.   Find Cody Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cody.boden/   Find The Suffering Podcast The Suffering Podcast Instagram Kevin Donaldson Instagram Apple Podcast Spotify Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The murder convictions in one of the most notorious criminal cases in Grand Junction history were tossed out, but there are still unanswered questions about the pipe bombings that killed two people in 1991. Today, we hear from the original public defender in the case against James Genrich, who is now eligible for parole. Then, for "Raise the Curtain," the Arvada Center explores racism in America through theater. And a project to preserve loving memories, through lullabies. 

The Mountain America Center in Idaho Falls is the host of this year's Dineen Cup Championship, which is the United States Premier Hockey League's final playoff series. South Shore and Grand Junction will play one more game at the home of the Idaho Falls Spud Kings to decide the victor.

What makes a downtown successful? Why are some bustling while others are hollowed out? Downtown Colorado, Inc. came to Main Street in Grand Junction to award innovators across the state. Some of the finalists joined Ryan Warner on stage to discuss delicate downtown ecosystems. Kat Correll is the executive director of Downtown Colorado, Inc., Kimberlee McKee is the executive director of Longmont's Downtown Development Authority, Lynn Clark is the executive director of the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo Authority; and from Telluride, but appearing on behalf of a project in Montrose: Jay Raible, who co-owns the new Rathbone Hotel. 

Greetings dear friend! This is another good word, a bit lengthy though.

Good morning dear friend! May God bless you richly and successfully!

We're coming off one of the most action-packed single weekends of the trail running year. We recap Lake Sonoma, Gorge Waterfalls, Desert Rats by UTMB, Calamorro Skyrace, Marathon des Sables, and the BPN Backyard Ultra all in one episode with co-host Alyssa Clark.Lotti Brinks ran fifth overall at Gorge Waterfalls 100K and shattered the women's course record. Dylan Bowman suggested it might be the trail performance of the year, and we ask whether she's now a legitimate podium threat at Western States. Jennifer Lichter won the 50K against Yao Miao, the back-to-back OCC champion, by nearly four minutes, coming off a 100K course record at Black Canyon this past February. She is the truth right now.At the BPN Backyard Ultra, veteran Mike Egan used a wheelchair to complete 110 miles. When the mud got too thick to push through, he got out and dragged it. It might be the photo of the year in trail running, and we're only in April. The event pulled 19.6 million TikTok searches in its first edition, and we ask: who's building the Trail Team equivalent for backyard ultra?At Marathon des Sables, Des Linden made the podium in her desert ultra debut. We call it her arrival in the trail scene. Heather Jackson won Desert Rats 100K three weeks out from Cocodona 250. She has a vlog series called "The Season That Might Break Me" and we break down what her win means for her race at the Cocodona 250 next month. In a field she wasn't even seeded in, Jane Maus went to Spain and took second at the Calamorro Skyrace in her first official sky race ever.We also cover:Ryan Sullivan going wire-to-wire dominant at Lake Sonoma 100K (a Norda athlete from Grand Junction worth watching)Spencer Shellberg, another Grand Junction name, winning Desert Rats 100K by 40+ minutesGerda Steyn seventh win at Two Oceans, one of the most dominant ultra runners of this generationNicholas Thompson (editor-in-chief of The Atlantic) setting the 50+ American record at the Mad City 50K.Rendezvu, Faves and the case for athlete-led affiliate commerce in trail runningLucy Bartholomew running a 2:41 marathon in Paris to close out a 23-hour training weekGiven to Fly, the new Brian Morrison book on his 2006 Western States near-winPartners:Precision Fuel and Hydration - use code SINGLETRACK at checkout for 15% off your next orderNorda - check out the 005: the lightest, fastest, most stable trail racing shoe ever madeRaide - Making equipment for efficient human-powered movement in the mountains Janji - premium trail running apparelSupport the show

Grand Junction City Manager Mike Bennett joins host Christi Reece on the Full Circle Podcast to share what's happening in Colorado's Western Slope hub city - and where it's headed. Now nearly a year and a half into his role, Mike talks through the city's updated strategic plan, a major leadership restructuring, and why transparent communication with the public drives everything he does.In this episode:Transitioning from Fruita to GJ — a budget and team 10x largerStrategic pillars: core services, housing, fiscal responsibility, community engagement, communication, & continuous improvementThe new Matchett Park Recreation Center opening before year's endAffordable housing efforts including the Salt Flats projectSingle stream recycling coming to all residents by 2027, backed by a $9M+ grantWater conservation through the DRIP partnershipRoad projects, trail expansions, and long-term infrastructure planningHow to get involved and stay informed

State officials want to find a troubling piece of history. But they need help. We'll update the yearslong effort to find a cemetery on the grounds of a former Indian Boarding School in Grand Junction. Then, from a new approach to policing and helping the unhoused, to honoring student athletes and everyday heroes, there's a lot going on in Aurora, Colorado's most diverse city. We speak with the editor of the Aurora Sentinel which is part of the Colorado Ethnic Media Exchange. Plus, a new state law requires schools in Colorado to have policies in place by July about what's allowed for students when it comes to cell phones; some students have thoughts about what to do. And, a pair of sisters from Grandview High School help win the women's college basketball national championship! 

A man who tried to overturn a free and fair election now positions himself as the safeguard. Today, we get reaction to President Trump's vote-by-mail executive order from Matt Crane, the head of the Colorado County Clerks Association. Then, some of Grand Junction's streets are lined with garbage these days, on purpose. It's a picker's paradise! And, an Oscar-winning Colorado filmmaker profiles the singer of what's considered the first gay anthem. Carl Bean would become a minister and a foot solider in the fight against AIDS. The movie, "I Was Born This Way" screens at the Boulder International Film Festival with a panel discussion on Thursday, April 9. 

A local newspaper in Grand Junction, Colorado started using AI to produce content. The reaction was predictable. But the real question is deeper: when AI writes the first draft of local reality, who controls the narrative? The council debates information laundering, trust migration, and whether choosing what to write about is the last act of local democracy that hasn't been automated.

Today... Montrose County has officially rehired former county manager Joe Kerby to return on June 15th at a $220,000 salary, hoping his experience will bring stability after a turbulent year in county leadership. And later... Grand Junction Media has bought the Montrose Daily Press, Delta County Independent, and Montrose Press production facility from Wick Communications, saying it will preserve the papers’ local independence while expanding regional news and advertising reach.Support the show: https://www.montrosepress.com/site/forms/subscription_services/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
