    Previewing Friday’s Anti-ICE Walkout, a Creepy New Meme, and 'Governor for a Day'

    With school starting and phone bans going in effect, kids in Colorado already have a lot on their plates this fall. Over 160 schools across the state are participating in a walkout on Friday to protest ICE activities at schools across the country. Regular contributor Adrian Felix joins producer Olivia Jewell Love to discuss how ICE policies are affecting kids in Colorado schools and why some people online are hoping for the protest to be called off. Then, a new creepy trend online has already got one student in Colorado into legal trouble. Plus, the governor’s office is inviting middle schoolers to apply to be “governor for a day,” and we discuss what should be in a submission video that Polis simply couldn’t refuse.  Here’s the link to apply to be “kid governor.” Subscribe to Keep it Local, our shopping guide newsletter all about supporting local businesses.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter at denver.citycast.fm.

    Introducing: The School of Greatness

    Introducing Money Loves Speed, but Wealth Loves Time | Sharran Srivatsaa from The School of Greatness. Follow the show: The School of Greatness The version of you who thinks debt is the enemy has never heard it explained this way. Sharran Srivatsaa went from dumpster-diving for food his first week of college to running Acquisition.com alongside Alex and Layla Hormozi, and the money rules he lives by now would sound insane to the kid who once got mugged for $100 within seven hours of landing in America. He talks about the ratchet clause that quietly shrank a $47 million payout down to under $5 million, and why that single contract mistake sent him to business school and Wall Street to learn the language money is actually written in. You will hear why he thinks money loves speed but wealth loves time, why every goal needs an actual plan instead of a wish, and why the four money monsters (inflation, taxes, interruption, fees) are quietly eating your future more than any bad investment ever could. He also gets honest about losing a million dollars to a con artist who vanished three days after cashing his check, and the four questions he now asks before trusting anyone with his money again. This one will change how you think about your 401k, your credit card, and the number you have been waiting to hit before you finally feel free. Press play and start rewriting your own rules about money today.

    More than 60% of Denverites Want Denser Housing. Why Is It Still a Big Fight?

    How can Denver solve the housing affordability problem? A new poll from the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project and Housing Forward Colorado says more than 60% of Denverites think higher density in their neighborhoods (like more duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes) could be the answer. The poll shows support for a proposal soon to go before City Council – “Unlocking Housing Choices,” which aims to address this “missing middle” housing issue through zoning reform. SWEEP’s Smart Growth Senior Program Manager Max Nardo joins host Bree Davies to look at the poll results and discuss the density debate to come.  Producer Paul Karolyi reported on the budget-related downscaling of the Unlocking Housing Choices project in an episode back in February. Bree mentioned interviews we did with both sides of the Lakewood density debate that went to voters earlier in March.

    ‘Your City Could Be Better’: Why Is Pittsburgh’s Airport the Gold Standard? — Presented By City Cast Denver

    The Denver airport definitely has a lot going for it, but what it doesn’t have is its own electrical grid, like Pittsburgh’s does. For the past few years, Pittsburgh International Airport has been generating on-site electricity, more than it needs even at peak operation, to fortify itself against the kind of power outages that hit airports (unsettlingly often) across the world. City Cast Pittsburgh host Megan Harris brings David into the little-known world of airport energy independence, showing how a one-time investment can bring the kind of peace of mind that both travelers and operators hope for every day. Is there something your city is doing that we should be talking about? Email David now!  We’re also on Instagram: @yourcitycouldbebetter Looking to advertise on Your City Could Be Better?

    Will You Be Paying the Bill For Data Centers? Xcel Energy Has a Plan

    New data centers are popping up across the country, including right here in Colorado. Many communities have concerns, including how much energy they will use and what kind of pressure they put on the grid. Xcel Energy has proposed charging these companies for any new infrastructure that could be built to support new data centers. But if that proposal doesn’t go through, will Xcel pass the buck onto consumers? Robert Kenney, president of Xcel Energy Colorado, joins host Bree Davies to answer that question and talk about the rising costs of electricity and gas on local households, what renewable energy looks like in the future, and more.
