Send a textA look at how we approach theatre criticism at OnStage Colorado, plus the week's Top 10 Colorado Headliners and a conversation with the Denver Theatre Ensemble.In this episode of the OnStage Colorado Podcast, hosts Alex Miller and Toni Tresca turn the critical lens on themselves, digging into the craft — and the controversy — of writing honest theatre reviews. As Toni's criticism has grown sharper over five years of covering Colorado's stages, so has the response: from grateful notes to hurt feelings aired on social media. What does it mean to be kind and honest at the same time? And where is the line between candor and cruelty?Toni also catches up on a busy stretch of shows: Steven Dietz's intricate Fiction at Three Leeches in Lakewood, the bracingly timely Just Like Us at Su Teatro, a strong but imperfect A Chorus Line at the Lakewood Cultural Center, and the world premiere of Nina Alice Miller's lyrical Daughtering from Dirty Fish Theatre at the Dairy Arts Center in Boulder.Later, Alex sits down with Rhianna DeVries and Tess Neel, the artistic director and producing director of Denver Theatre Ensemble — a young, DU-rooted company now in its third season and gearing up for an all-world-premieres lineup that includes a collaboration with Picnic Theatre Company in Steamboat Springs.IN THIS EPISODE:- Recent show catchup: Fiction, Just Like Us, A Chorus Line, Daughtering- News: Arvada Center 2025-26 season announcement- News: Yates Theatre in Denver's Berkeley neighborhood moves closer to reopening as a 300-seat indie cinema- News: Can anyone make a living in theatre?

In January 1989, 43-year-old Thomas Charles Hammerton was found stabbed to death on a quiet street in Houston's Hyde Park neighborhood, near the city's Montrose district. Hammerton had moved to Houston from Youngstown, Ohio, seeking a place where he could live more openly and freely in one of the city's most vibrant LGBTQ+ communities.But his murder came at a time when organized skinhead groups and hate-motivated violence were spreading across the United States. In Houston, reports of harassment and attacks by neo-Nazi skinheads had already begun to surface in Montrose and surrounding neighborhoods.Investigators eventually identified a self-described skinhead as a prime suspect during a narcotics raid that uncovered drugs and multiple knives believed to be consistent with the weapon used in the killing. Despite the discovery, no homicide charges were ever filed.Nearly four decades later, the murder of Thomas Charles Hammerton remains unsolved.If you have any information about the murder of Thomas Charles Hammerton, please call Texas Crime Stoppers at (800) 252-8477.You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

In 1986 we lived in a divided country. People who were once good friends now found themselves on opposite sides of one of the most charged debates in the history of mankind. You had to choose - Van Halen or Van Hagar?!?! After their diamond seller 1984 ruled the world that summer, charismatic frontman David Lee Roth was looking at other opportunities. In 1985 he released his covers EP, Crazy from the Heat, fans hoped that it was just a side project. But once the boys announced that Sammy Hagar, former solo artist and frontman of Montrose, had joined the band for their March, 1986 album 5150. Recorded in Eddie's 5150 Studio, their first without producer Ted Templeman, the album ushered in a new era for the band. Sammy brought a broader perspective to their lyrics and Eddie wrote on both his guitar and keyboards. To some, they feared their guitar god was going soft and playing with his synths too much. And big hits like Love Walks' In, Why Can't This Be Love and Dreams all features keyboards but Eddie still delivers plenty of Eddie Van Halen magic. Inextricably tied by most Van Halen fans to the Live Without A Net home video, the boys reminisced about why they didn't get into it immediately but eventually came to appreciate the album thanks to the VHS. Is this the best of all the Sammy records? Is it in the Top 5 Van Halen albums? Higher? Tell us what you think!

Today... Pruf Pizza is a new Montrose slice shop blending punk-rock style, high-quality handmade pizza, and big ambitions into a fast-growing local favorite. And later...

What happens when a standard drywall inquiry turns into a deep dive into the world of decorative finishes? In this episode, we sit down with Monica Schaefer and Judd Togerson to discuss their journey from traditional drywall to exploring the "many ways of plaster." After a transformative visit to Nick Boyd at the drywall supply yard in Montrose, the duo discovered that the ceiling for their craft was much higher than they initially thought. We explore the transition from functional drywall to the vast world of specialty finishes on this, the 164th, episode of The Drywall Podcast.

Their feet have webbing between all four toes. They are excellent divers. They are not shags. No, it's not a description of typical Ross County centre forwards; it's a description of cormorants, and they are here for the Caley Thistle title run-in. Join Moff, Sandy, Lee and AY as they reflect on a tricky three weeks in League One, welcome a new feathered friend to the Sarens PSG Stadium and offer up the usual 31 years of ICT references, wild conjecture and mild distraction. Let's shuffle! 00:00:58 – Welcome, and some stuff about doubles. Moff introduces the panel and in the afterglow of ICT's KDM trophy semi-final triumph, which put the team in line for two trophies this season, we talk doubles. 00:05:20 – Game by Game. We discuss the consecutive league draws with Stenhousemuir and Kelty Hearts, the 2-1 defeat of Ayr in the KDM trophy that took place in between them, look ahead to the cup final, and discuss an unexpected presence on the touchline during the Stenny game. 00:05:20 Kelty 0-0 ICT. Not much happened. 00:13:45 Ayr 1-2 ICT, with bonus KDM trophy final chat. 00:35:42 ICT 1-1 Stenhousemuir, with bonus cormorant chat. 00:44:07 – What yi sayeen? – Mitchell Robertson. When he signed on loan from Celtic's B team at the start of this season, it was assumed Mitchell Robertson was just here as cover, but he has established himself as a regular starter for ICT in the league at left back, and in the KDM trophy at centre half. Stevie spoke to the now-Livingston loanee about his career in youth football, his path to Inverness, his impressions of the club, the city and his teammates. 01:05:00 – The Club Interview – Gordon Nicolson. Combing the roles of first team coach and academy coach, Gordon Nicholson is an unsung but integral part of Scott Kellacher's backroom team. Moff chatted to him about his career to date, the young players he has helped bring through, working with Scott Kellacher and the club's footballing ethos. 01:29:45 – The X-files. For some players, a spell with Caley Thistle has been a springboard for success with bigger clubs; for others, it has been the start of a slide into non-league obscurity. In the first instalment of a new feature, we look at the varying fortunes of several players since leaving Inverness. 01:43:22 – League Lookahead. We preview March's league games against Montrose, Cove Rangers, Peterhead, Alloa and Queen of the South, and briefly discuss Stenhousemuir's fixtures in the same period. There's it.

Mycket pekar fasen åt rätt håll. Vinsten i Q4 är högre än på många år. 2026 är fasen intressant och kan bolaget återfå förtroende? Värdering är…. Minst sagt låg. Vi kör också lite Opter (01:32:53).

What if the secret to 100 transactions a year wasn't online leads… but real relationships? In this raw and surprisingly vulnerable episode, James and Keith sit down with Montrose, Colorado broker Shawn Carroll, a 32-year industry veteran who averages 100 homes a year in a town of just 20,000 people. But this isn't a "systems and funnels" conversation. Shawn shares how he went from sleeping in his office, walking miles to show homes because he had no car, and being told he was "too unapproachable" for the business… to becoming one of the most dominant relationship-driven agents in his market. You'll hear: Why he doesn't "prospect" and hasn't for years How he uses social media as a listening tool, not a megaphone The empathy shift that changed his business forever Why ego will cost you more than a wrapped car ever will The one mindset that separates agents who survive from those who quit No gimmicks. No scripts. No hacks. Just consistency, competitiveness, and caring deeply, even if you're not "Mr. Huggable." Connect with Shawn on LinkedIn.

Barry and Abigail discuss This Warm December and sample März of the Penguins, No Country For Old Penguins, and Midnight Waddle from Sneaky Penguin Brewing Company in Raleigh, North Carolina.We briefly discussed Eggnogorant by friends of the pod Terry Anderson & The Olympic Ass-Kickin Team. You can listen to Eggnogorant in our first-ever Christmas bonus episode, Bonus: Greet the Hummels... and Friends! (Original Holiday Songs by Friends of the Podcast).We acquired this beer while we were in Raleigh in October, when we had the opportunity to see Brandy Clark and Mary Chapin Carpenter in concert, featuring both friend of the pod Jon Carroll and the legendary Don Dixon in Carpenter's band. See the setlist of the show we saw!We played a sample of Stevie Wonder's original Someday at Christmas, covered by Jack Johnson on this album. Barry mentioned that Wonder's version should have made his personal Christmas music compilation - and he would probably remove Xmas at K-Mart by Root Boy Slim.Bruce Springsteen's live version of Santa Claus is Comin' to Town is the definitive version in Barry's eyes.Barry plugged the recent Beer in Front episode 276 Fresh Wet Hopped Episode, where he learned about wet hopping, which uses freshly picked hops in the brew and is not the opposite of dry hopping - learn more here. The most famous and mass-produced wet-hopped beer is Celebration from Sierra Nevada Brewing Company. Dave interviewed Bruz Beers and FlyteCo Brewing, both in Denver, Colorado, who collaborate annually on a wet-hopped beer called Hop Is My Co-Pilot. The brewing of this beer involves an airplane trip across the Rockies to collect freshly picked hops from Billy Goat Hop Farm in Montrose, Colorado. Read more about the incredible journey here!Abigail and Barry both declared that Zee Avi's No Christmas for Me is a modern Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses (and that both of those songs are modern O. Henry stories).Abigail mentioned that Stuck at the Airport by Money Mark is thematically similar to I'll Be Home for Christmas by Bing Crosby. This is one of the songs Abigail will frequently be compelled to listen to when her life circumstances match the lyrics of the song - the other one is It's Only Wednesday by Crash Kings.The Man in the Santa Suit by Neil Halstead reminded Abigail of Father Christmas by The Kinks. We played a little sample of Matt Nathanson's cover of Father Christmas, which appears on our 2022 Christmas playlist!Abigail did not recognize that Rogue Wave's Christmas was a cover of the Who song from Tommy. She compared the lyrics to Do They Know It's Christmas? by Band Aid.Barry compared Jack Johnson's variant lyrics in Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer to many of the songs on the Straight No Chaser album we reviewed in last year's Christmas episode, Christmas Beers (Straight No Chaser and Gifted Beers).Abigail, per usual, got Silent Night confused with O Holy Night.Listen to our 2025 Christmas playlist!Up next… Touch by EurythmicsJingles are by our friend Pete Coe.Visit Anosmia Awareness for more information on Barry's condition.Follow Barry or Abigail on Untappd to see what we're drinking when we're not on mic!Leave us a rating or a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky | YouTube | Substack | Website | Email us | Virtual Jukebox | Beer Media Group

Welcome to Real Good Denver, I'm Ryan Estes. Denver, we have a problem. We love the mountains, the desert, the river, the hunt, the ride, and then we come back to camp covered in dust, sweat, and regret with half a Nalgene and a pack of baby wipes that lie. Today's guest fixes that. Jonathan from Geyser Systems built what he calls an astronaut shower that can clean two people with 0.8 gallons. His team has already showered more than 35,000 people at festivals and events while saving at least 250,000 gallons of water. We are talking real Colorado innovation from Montrose. Or Montrose. You decide. In this episode you will learn how a van trip in Australia turned into a water-efficiency company, how a sponge at the end of a hose beats a showerhead at its own game, and how a Nalgene can become a four-minute hot shower. You will hear the founder's playbook for hardware, manufacturing, and building products that actually change behavior. This one is for founders, inventors, overlanders, river rats, elk hunters, and anyone who respects water like it is sacred. https://geysersystems.com/ https://realgooddenver.com/
