And this week, we welcomed a new Insider to the show, Kristi Burton Brown, who says that hearing proved that Denver is indeed a sanctuary city. To that notion, Eric Sondermann suggested, Denver is a “welcoming city.” We had a deeper conversation beyond the semantics of the words at hand, and as Patty Calhoun said regarding this week’s Colorado Inside Out … this is a ‘fun one!’ Continue reading →

Everyone seems to be talking about how long this month of January has felt… and I agree! I think it’s because it’s been an emotional month for our country with a deadly terrorist attack, catastrophic wildfires and a horrific mid-air collision.

This week, our attention was drawn to both coasts: the deadly fires that are devastating Southern California communities and the State Funeral for 39th President of the United States, Jimmy Carter, in Washington, D.C. But, it was also a big week in Colorado Continue reading →

We are ringing in 2025 with a fabulously decorated set (thanks to our crew!), party hats, noise makers and of course, sparkling cider for the last Colorado Inside Out of 2024. I put our Insider panel to the test, asking each of them to choose the Colorado Person of the Year, Continue reading →
