City Cast Denver

As a person new to the Denver area, I love this podcast. I learn so much about Denver/Colorado history, politics, geography, events, and more. I found great restaurants, ice cream parlors, events, and other podcast through the show. I’m hooked!

Overall this is a good podcast. I appreciate their coverage of Denver events, history and recommendations. However, the hosts, guests and content lean heavily liberal, especially during election season. They often have Democratic party affiliates on the show and do not seem to make much of an effort to discuss different perspectives. This tends to give the show the feel of a liberal echo chamber. This turned a previously daily listener off, but I hope to revisit the show in the future.

I have very mixed feelings about this podcast. Sometimes it is very informative about local issues and events. Other times they are just plain lazy in their research and understanding of their topic. Some of their speculation is just irresponsible, Ex. “I have one friend that says nicotine is healthy” or stupid, Ex. “My friends tell me that middle school kids vaping is actually a big issue, who knew”.

When Bree isn’t involved the show is often very good. But Bree needs to center herself in every conversation. She also constantly interrupts the guest, who we are actually there to hear from. Bree should stand by the morals she claims to have and relinquish her host position, and insist she be replaced by a non-white person. Bree is 1990 Denver and we need new voices.
