Episodes
What’s driving Denver’s spike in fentanyl overdoses, and why does the supply seem stronger than ever? We take you inside the data and the street-level realities: how potency, low production costs, and distribution through a regional transit hub have reshaped the market; why counterfeit pills and polysubstance mixes catch people off guard; and how improved testing revealed the true scale of the problem. From emergency cal...
A short walk down Colfax turned into a crash course on how hope gets marketed where margins are thinnest. We dig into why lottery billboards blanket low income and predominantly Black neighborhoods and rarely appear in wealthier suburbs, and we connect the dots between retailer commissions, billboard economics, and the retail landscapes shaped by redlining and zoning. What looks like neutral market logic—put ads where sa...
Hunger shouldn’t be part of any family’s routine, and yet tighter SNAP benefits are pushing more neighbors to the edge. We take you inside the fastest, most reliable ways to get food help in the Denver metro, from free school meals available to every student to the regional network that moves groceries where they’re needed most. Think of this as a field guide: what to do first, who to call, and how to navigate pantries w...
A divided world doesn’t fix itself, but it can change when ordinary people choose small, steady acts of kindness. We dive into the power of compassion as a practical tool for rebuilding trust, cutting through polarization, and bringing depth back to our relationships. From the limits of social media to the warmth of face to face care, we share why kindness is contagious, how children mirror what we model, and what it tak...
Cats aren’t just internet icons; they’re companions with a deep history and a real need for our care. We take a warm, practical tour through National Cat Day, exploring why this celebration exists, how cats became fixtures in human life, and what we can do—today—to support feline welfare. From the purr that calms you after a hard day to the comic chaos of a living room zoom, we focus on the everyday joy cats bring while ...
Grocery bills keep climbing, food banks brace for record demand, and small stores feel the pinch—none of that is accidental. We dig into why cuts to SNAP benefits do more than shrink household budgets; they pull billions from local economies, stress schools and employers, and nudge prices higher for everyone. With clear numbers and plain talk, we connect the dots between food security and the everyday costs that shape li...
A near miss at Skyline High School puts Colorado’s long shadow back in the spotlight and forces us to ask tougher questions about what truly keeps students safe. We walk through what happened, why “this time” isn’t enough, and how a quarter-century of tragedies and scares—from Columbine to STEM—reveals patterns that policies alone haven’t fixed. Then we pivot to what often gets overlooked: the daily emotional world of ki...
Think you know Denver’s eastern neighbor? Aurora defies the cliché with a story that runs from prairie tracks to late night karaoke, from Buckley Field’s aviation roots to a modern web of light rail, research labs, craft breweries, and global kitchens that stay open past midnight. We open the map to show how transit, the Anschutz Medical Campus, and mixed use neighborhoods turned a once sleepy suburb into a destination w...
Two worlds, one citywide rhythm: we start inside Denver’s living rooms and legendary small rooms—where house shows shake the floorboards and community venues turn newcomers into headliners—then move into the glow of rooftops, warehouses, and high-production clubs that define the city after dark. Along the way, we spotlight the artists and organizers who make it all hum: Amanda Hawkins bridging folk-country roots with mod...
First snowfall changes everything. The peaks get a fresh dusting, boards come out of storage, and the town starts humming with a promise: the day doesn’t end when the lifts stop—it just changes rhythm. We tap into that shift and map the perfect line from fresh powder to Aspen’s after-dark spectrum, helping you match your post-ski mood with the right room, sound, and plate.
We start with the timeless pull of J-Ba...
A layoff wave hit boardrooms—and then it hit the streets. We follow the ripple effect from tech and finance to the front seat of a rideshare, where a sudden surge of new drivers collided with flat demand, shrinking incentives, and algorithms that decide who gets the next ping. Along the way, we share a raw story from a former corporate recruiter who pivoted to black car rides, only to watch reliable $300 days stretch int...
