Evergreen and Charlie Kirk, Broncos Staying in Mile High, and Love is Blind (Denver Edition)
As Colorado was rocked by yet another school shooting Wednesday afternoon, conservative activist Charlie Kirk was also shot and killed on a college campus in Utah. Coloradans are shocked, saddened, and enraged as the conversation yet again turns to guns, violence, and our polarized media. Then, the Broncos have officially announced that their future stadium will be built in Denver proper. Are we gonna call this one Mile High Stadium, too? Comedian Adam Cayton-Holland joins producer Paul Karolyi and host Bree Davies to dig into these stories, plus our wins and fails of the week.
Paul talked about Ben Roy’s Facebook post about social media, Westword’s coverage of the scandal at the Mexican Consulate in Denver, and his friend Jem’s album release concert at The Bug this Saturday. Bree discussed the passing of photojournalist Corky Scholl and his Save the Signs project and SarahFest happening this weekend at Manos Sagrados. Adam mentioned yet another Rockies record-breaking loss, the rare wood stork sighting in Broomfield, and next weekend’s High Plains Comedy Festival (which is still looking for volunteers!)
