Can You Help Fix RTD? Plus, Another Round of 'Did That Age Well?' Denver Edition

View all City Cast Denver episodes

Did the brewery scene in Denver age well? What about the whole scooter situation? Molly Smith, host of the “Did That Age Well?” podcast, joins producer Olivia Jewell Love to decide once and for all … has Denver aged well? Then, RTD created a new ambassadors program with opportunities for local riders with “strong connections to their communities” who want to make some cash. But can it help bridge the budget shortfall RTD is facing? Plus, Phoebe Bridgers is headed to Denver for a big Ball Arena show this fall, and her fans are divided. Is a stadium tour a good thing for folky faves, or does it open the door for bigger drama? 

Olivia mentioned the dog poop-vestigation City Cast Denver conducted last year. And, here’s the link to sign up to be an RTD Connect Ambassador. Molly and Olivia discussed “White Chicks” on Molly’s podcast earlier this summer.
