Phil on the Flu (1918 and 2020)

Changing Denver's favorite local historian returns. This is
Phil Goodstein in conversation about the 1918
flu, how it affected Denver and how it could provide a roadmap
for our future. 


Phil and I didn't talk about this, but I know he normally makes
money giving walking tours around the city. I doubt those are
very popular right now, so I'd like to remind you that Phil has
many books about Denver's history available for purchase on the
internet, including the websites of your favorite local
booksellers. I recommend Denver from the Bottom Up:
Robert Speer's Denver or his new one, which is part
one of a new series about the history of Denver Public
Schools. 


If you like Changing Denver and you haven't heard my latest piece
about Land Acknowledgements and Arapaho chief Left Hand, I think
you'd probably like it. It's on the Range and
Slope feed or right here if you prefer to listen in a
browser. 


Also, if for whatever reason you're feeling alone and deprived of
meaningful connection with other people, we're starting up a
podcast matchmaking service at House of Pod. It's called
LoveSick, and you might like to listen or even
sign up for a custom designed video chat blind date.
