    Is Mayor Mike Coming for Mutual Aid Mondays? Plus, the Unhoused Woman Dividing Wash Park

    Mayor Johnston promised to solve unsheltered homelessness in his first term – nearly three years into it, there are still questions about the success of this costly and ambitious plan. Denverite reporter Kyle Harris recently published two stories highlighting the complexities of the Mile High City’s homeless issue, and he joins host Bree Davies to discuss the conundrum of a woman living in her car in the Washington Park neighborhood and the fate of a weekly free meal and meet-up serving unhoused people in front of the City and County Building. The two consider how these stories connect to the bigger conversation about homelessness in Denver in 2026.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter at denver.citycast.fm.

    Introducing Creating Space and Building Connection with our Teens from Raising Families with Dr. Jerry Weichman. Follow the show: Raising Families with Dr. Jerry Weichman Communicating with our kids is one of the most important, and challenging, things we do as parents. It’s so important to understand where our kids are coming from developmentally as adolescents so we can better connect with each other. When our children are in their teen and tween years, they naturally start to pull away. Creating quality time, reinforcing positive behavior, and employing effective communication techniques can help us keep up that connection with our kids. Listen on for methods to manage communication with your kids and create a lasting bond.     Don’t forget to subscribe to the show as our discussion on the subject has only just begun. Later this week we will be joined by Paul Cloud and of course our wonderful co-host Christina to continue the discussion.       More from Dr. Jerry Weichman   Podcast Website: raisingfamiliespodcast.com   Website: drjerryweichman.com   Instagram: @drjerryweichman   YouTube: @RaisingFamilieswithDrJW   TikTok: @drjerryweichman  LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jerry-weichman-ph-d   Facebook: facebook.com/drjerryweichman    Clinic: theweichmanclinic.com      This is a Redd Rock Music Podcast   IG: @reddrockmusic   www.reddrockmusic.com      The content in this video is intended for educational, informational, and entertainment purposes only.

    AI Talks End in ‘Near-Total Rewrite,’ Trump vs. Denver’s Assault Weapons Ban, and New Scooter Problems

    The 2026 Colorado legislative session is in its final week, so we’re looking into the hot-button issue of AI, which continues to divide Democrats. Westword editor-in-chief Patty Calhoun joins host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to talk about how Colorado’s’ “first in the nation” regulations, passed in 2024, ended up with a “near-total rewrite” this year, according to the Denver Post. Plus, the Trump administration is coming after Denver again – this time with a lawsuit aimed at overturning the city’s ban on assault weapons – so we’re talking about where this attack ranks among all the other times Trump has turned his attention toward the Mile High City.

    After the Bandstand Fire, the Key to City Park’s Future Lies in the Past

    After City Park’s iconic bandstand was damaged beyond repair in an overnight fire in late March, the park’s neighbors and city leaders have come together to raise money for a replacement. While alternate locations are in place for big events like City Park Jazz this summer, the fire and the outpouring of love sparked new questions about the history and what’s next for the park itself. So today, host Bree Davies is taking a walk through City Park’s past, present, and future with Georgia Garnsey, president of City Park Friends and Neighbors, and Kristina Maldonado Bad Hand, a Sicangu Lakota and Cherokee artist who is working on the new City Park Living Land project.
