  • We Confront A Pattern Of School Violence And Call For Collective Responsibility
    2025/10/25

    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 kids, the toll of bullying on mental health, and the cultural conditions that let cruelty and despair take root.

    We share a clear path forward built on connection, not just compliance. You’ll hear why a trusted adult for every student can be a game changer, how consistent anti-bullying enforcement and restorative practices rebuild trust, and where mental health resources—counselors, peer supports, telehealth, and simple reporting tools—create early, lifesaving intervention. We talk about safe storage, digital citizenship, advisory periods, and how schools can partner with families and local clinics to expand care without burning out staff.

    This conversation is about community responsibility as much as it is about school safety. Parents, educators, coaches, neighbors, and lawmakers each hold a piece of the solution—teaching empathy, funding services, enforcing safe norms, and amplifying student voice. If you’re ready to move beyond headlines and drills toward practical, humane changes that make hallways feel safe again, you’re in the right place.

    If this resonates, subscribe, share the show with someone who cares about kids’ wellbeing, and leave a review with one action your community can take this month. Your voice helps build the culture where every child feels seen, supported, and safe.

  • Discover How Aurora Became Colorado’s Most Surprising Destination
    2025/10/24

    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 with its own pulse.

    We walk through the city’s nightlife corridors—Havana Street’s karaoke and Korean barbecue, the Stampede’s line dancing floor, cozy pubs near Aurora Highlands, and intimate stages where local bands and open mic artists find their crowd. Along the way, we fold in practical tips: how to move around on RTD, when to call a rideshare, where to stay near the airport or campus, and which parks and cultural spots round out a perfect weekend. Cherry Creek State Park, the Plains Conservation Center, and the Aurora Cultural Arts District sit alongside day trips to Denver, giving you both the big city energy and the local flavor in one itinerary.

    Then we shift the lens to a vital chapter often overlooked: the African American history that helped shape Aurora’s civic fabric. From pre–World War II rail and agricultural work to the postwar boom, Black families built institutions when policy shut doors—churches that doubled as civic hubs, barbershops and restaurants that spread information, and organizers who pushed back against redlining and restrictive covenants. We unpack the present day pressures on East Colfax, where redevelopment and rising costs risk displacing the very culture that made the corridor vibrant, and we highlight the responses gaining traction: affordable housing, tenant protections, small business support, and community-led planning.

    By the end, you’ll have a guide to Aurora’s best nights out, a primer on how the city grew, and a deeper understanding of the people and policies that forged its identity. If you enjoyed this tour, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves late night eats, and drop a review with your favorite Aurora spot—we might feature it next time.

  • Mile High Music Scene and Nightlife
    2025/10/15

    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 modern indie production, The Irie Still holding down Colorado’s reggae lineage with groove and heart, DIY punk keepers like Basement Pony doing the unglamorous work that keeps the scene open to all, and experimental projects like Babe Lorde stretching ears and expectations.

    If you’re mapping a night out, we draw the lines between neighborhoods and sounds: LoDo’s dress-to-impress energy, RiNo and Five Points’ creative sprawl where you can catch an indie band, a techno set, and a hip-hop showcase without changing blocks. We shout out the rooms that matter—The Fillmore, Temple, Beta, Cervantes—and the smaller spots that break tomorrow’s names. The underground is thriving again with ‘90s-flavored warehouse parties, sunshine day raves, and hybrid live/DJ sets where bands hand stems to producers in real time. Add summer rooftops, crisp sound systems, and story-driven visuals, and you’ve got a nightlife profile that can stand anywhere while staying unmistakably Denver.

    We also share practical wisdom to keep your night smooth: bring ID, expect covers for big bookings, rely on rideshare when transit thins, and time arrivals to skirt peak lines. Safety and inclusivity are front and center—clear teams, free water, sober spaces—because a sustainable scene starts with care. Most of all, we celebrate how this city mixes genres, crowds, and generations into a single, generous culture. Hit play to plan your crawl, discover a new favorite artist, and feel why Denver’s soundscape and nightlife keep growing without losing their soul. If you enjoyed the show, follow, share with a friend, and leave a quick review—what neighborhood should we explore next?
