It's Friday, and we're rounding up the biggest stories of the week. First, Aurora councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky made an appearance at Trump's rally at the Gaylord last Friday, now she claims she's in possession of “haunting” video related to Venezuelan gang activity and is calling for an investigation into Denver Mayor Mike Johnston. Then, a reddit thread popped up with some wild urban legends about the Mile High City. Are any of them true? Producer Paul Karolyi, host Bree Davies, and producer Olivia Jewell Love dig into the lore, speculate about Jurinsky's video, and share their wins and fails of the week.

Of all Denver's great holiday traditions, there's only one carefully crafted to drive whiskey lovers wild. Local distiller Stranahan's started selling small batches of “Snowflake” whiskeys way back in 2007. But in the last few years, the Snowflake has taken on a lore of its own as aficionados camp out for days next to the distillery, just for the chance to get a bottle of that year's unique, limited-edition recipe. This year, Stranahan's decided to do things a little differently, turning the low-key campout into a full-fledged blowout at Red Rocks, complete with food trucks and live music. City Cast Denver correspondent JD Lopez — host of the Left Hand Right Brain podcast — headed over to the amphitheater's parking lot at the crack of dawn to talk to Colorado's whiskey tailgaters and find out what makes the Snowflake blend good enough to wait in line for. Plus, our VOICE on the Street segment is back — this time, we hear from Denver VOICE street paper vendor Brian Augustine, who talks candidly about why he loves being out in the community.

In the early twentieth century, Robert Hertz, a French anthropologist, and Cesare Lombroso, the Italian criminologist, debated the causes and consequences of left-handedness. According to Lombroso, left-handed individuals were more likely to be criminals. Hertz disagreed. For him, to restrict left-handedness was to suppress individual expression. In his book, On the Other Hand: Left Hand, Right Brain, Mental Disorder, and History (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2017), Howard I. Kushner explores the fascinating and circuitous history of left-handedness. By looking at a wide variety of scientific research, as well as the cultural meanings attached to left-handedness, Kushner breaks down the binary between nature and nurture that has characterized most explanations of what some researchers have called non-right-handedness. Ultimately Kushner argues that discrimination against left-handers can be read as a barometer for a given society’s toleration of diversity. Learn more about your ad choices.

Another episode of Werewolf Radar has tricked you into the crawl space by mimicking the sounds of a trapped kitten and now you are stuck in here with it! In this episode Denver podcastronaut extraordinaire, JD Lopez of Left Hand Right Brain, guides the crew of the radar through the treacherous, demon-haunted forest of a Hispanic Catholic adolesence. You will hear tales of drunk assholes getting their comeuppance from demonic (angelic?) enforcers, discover what it takes to get into demon hunting, and find out the awful truth behind the clandestine mating rituals that take place in Witch-Alley. Join us, as the crew gets to know JD, and all four of us eventually get to know a terrifying entity known only as the Monterey Witch.
