Despite this season’s lack of snow, Waymo, the autonomous ride share company, says their robotaxis-in-training are still learning how to drive in Denver winters. Then, Stella's Coffee Haus recently announced they are cutting off Wi-Fi at their shop, which has us wondering — should coffee shops even have Wi-Fi? And what’s the etiquette for working-from-coffeehouse? Host Bree Davies and producer Olivia Jewell Love and contributor Michelle Jackson to dish on these stories, and of course deliver the wins and fails of the week.


Bree talked about the dangerous intersection in Cherry Hills and Dyketopia’s March 22 show. Olivia mentioned Denver’s bison transfer to Native tribes and the stinky smells at the Lowry Town Center. Michelle discussed the impending snowfall and Colorado’s tourism attention on Canada.
