Podcasting to Save the Planet Peak Environment

Learn what’s going on at the podcasting hub of the Pikes Peak region, the Studio 809 podcast collective. Over a dozen podcasts originating in the area can be found at studio809podcasts.com. Studio 809 founder Dave Gardner fills us in specifically on the environmentally focused podcasts originating in the “basement studio” – Peak Environment, the GrowthBusters podcast about sustainable living and The Overpopulation Podcast.
Also, local activist and singer/songwriter Lindsay Facknitz shares a couple of original songs and provides information and perspective on the current Colorado Springs Utilities initiative to create an updated Electric Integrated Resource Plan (EIRP).
Thanks to Pikes Peak Lemonade, Java Mountain Baking, Cindy Gardner, and Hobbs Family Farm for refreshment donations.
