How to Climb Stoner Hill

On Changing Denver this month, we invite local journalist Andy
Kenney to guide us through the story of Stoner Hill, a small
elevated area of Commons Park. For years it has been a respite
for assorted travelers, misfits, and people experiencing
homelessness. But now that developers and their wealthy customers
have moved into the neighborhood, it has become a source of
tension. We dove into this one heads first, figured out the
latest news on Stoner Hill, and even got a little involved in the
conflict ourselves.

This episode is a follow-up to Andy’s wonderful cover story for
Westword last December. It is not required reading for the
episode, but we highly recommend going back for it.

Problems” by The Windermeres. It's track number one off their
2014 album Anthem of the Recession Generation, which you can find
on their bandcamp page. You can also find them on Facebook.


Our theme song is “Minnow” by Felix Fast4ward. You can listen to
more of his music on Soundcloud.
