Changing Denver

Here is another teaser episode of City Cast Denver. I don't know why anyone who lives in Denver wouldn't want to have this in their feed. Subscribe here if you haven't already. This particular episode puts a huge smile on my face. I loved listening to Gustavo Arellano's talk on Colorado-style Mexican food from the El Pueblo History Museum. I loved watching Patty Calhoun in the comments of the zoom event. I loved listening to Bree interview them. Everything about this episode is good feelings. What better way to start the weekend? Plus you get to hear a rundown of the news at the top of the show.

Hey, Paul here. I've got a very cool new project to tell you about. If you like Changing Denver, I guarantee you'll like City Cast Denver. It's a new daily Denver news podcast -- 15 minutes every weekday morning, stuffed full of all the local news you need to know, but also perspectives and voices that you'd never otherwise get to hear, plus a few fun surprises along the way. I've been working on City Cast Denver for a few months now with some incredible people, and it's finally ready for you. We're launching NEXT WEEK (March 25 to be exact). Our host is Bree Davies (@cocodavies on twitter), and if you don't know her, let me tell you, there's no one like Bree. When I first moved to Denver in 2015, Bree was the person who unlocked the city for me. Whether it was on twitter or in her Westword column, she has always had a knack for putting the big thorny issues Denver faces into deeply human terms -- and inviting people like me along for the ride. There would be no Changing Denver if it weren't for Bree. And now we're making something together! It's corny, but for me this really is a dream come true.  Just listen to trailer for City Cast Denver, and you'll hear what I mean. Click here to follow the show on your podcast app of choice and make sure to subscribe to our newsletter, too. We'll be with you every weekday morning, with fresh stories and conversation about everything Denver.  If you've got questions about the new show or ideas you want us to talk about, you can reach me at paul.karolyi@citycast.fm or tweet at me @paulkarolyi. 

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.

Longtime listeners of Changing Denver will be interested to hear about Range & Slope, a new podcast featuring sounds and stories from prairie to peak.  Range & Slope is a product of the R & S Collective, of which Changing Denver host Paul Karolyi is a proud member.  Subscribe wherever you listen to Changing Denver and learn more at rangeandslope.com.
