    053 Rachel Irons, Sustainable Food Systems

    For episode 53, I interviewed Rachel Irons who is a cofounder and CEO of Nude Foods Market which is on a mission to build a new food system based on circular economies, regenerative farming practices, and reusable jars.   I met her at the Boulder store early on a Sunday morning and we discussed what it takes to support local businesses and provide ethically sourced foods that don’t exploit human labor, destroy the environment, or give money to large food systems run by multinational conglomerates.   In preparation for this episode I watched several videos on the Nude Foods YouTube channel and […]

    Shay Castle stopped in to interview me to talk about season four of Sharing Boulder. Shay is a long time local journalist in Boulder County known for the Boulder and her new podcast, the Boulder Valley Frequency, which is a weekly news program that drops every Wednesday morning. I’m really happy she agreed to help out and I hope you enjoy this conversation.

    051 Jack Rosenthal, Candidate for RTD Board of Directors

    Jack Rosenthal is an RTD Board candidate and transit enthusiast. I met him at his downtown Boulder office where we talked about our mutual love for public transit, the challenges RTD faces, why we need a train to Boulder and Longmont, and why he’s running for elected office.  I appreciate Jack’s plain-spoken approach, his love for analyzing data, and his ability to generate grassroots excitement for his campaign for the RTD Board.

    050 Glenda Russell, Queer Historian

    For episode fifty, I spoke with Glenda Russell who is a historian of the LGBTQ movement as it has unfolded here in Boulder and Colorado and beyond. Glenda has had a long career as a clinical psychologist, educator, and writer and has a PhD in psychology from the University of Colorado at Boulder (’84). We talked about the struggle to get ‘sexual orientation’ included in Boulder’s human rights ordinance which was added in 1987 by means of a ballot measure that won by a very small margin after a similar ballot measure was crushed thirteen years earlier. This story includes […]

    049 Ren Q. Dawe, Trans Activist, Comedian, Writer, Educator

    For episode forty-nine, I spoke with Ren Q. Dawe who is a trans activist, comedian, writer, and educator who lives and works in Boulder and has been performing his comedy all over the front range. I have mentioned a few times in passing that I enjoy performing comedy, but I’ve never said much else about it on this podcast. So, it was especially fun for me to have a chance to explore the world-changing power of comedy with Ren in this interview. This episode features significantly more swearing and adult-oriented content than most Sharing Boulder episodes and may not be […]

    048 Sarah Wells, Collective Living, Co-buying, and Housing Innovation

    For episode forty-eight, I spoke with Sarah Wells who is a partner in the real estate agency Live Work Denver which specializes in co-buying real estate which is simply a way to buy homes with other people. Sarah is one of the founders of the Queen City Cooperative and is the Board Chair for the Boulder Housing Coalition which is a non-profit that develops affordable rental cooperatives. Sarah and I talked about co-buying as a way for more people to be able to build equity in their home in a housing market gone mad, speed-dating for finding co-buyers, and the […]

    047 Eric Budd, 2023 Voters Guide Discussion

    For episode forty-seven, I spoke with Eric Budd who is a political activist and organizer who has been involved in various issues such as occupancy reform, even year elections, and advocacy for cycling. He is also involved in various organizations including Boulder Progressives, Better Boulder, Boulder Housing Coalition, and Community Cycles, among others. In 2016, Eric started writing an annual voter’s guide that he distributes widely around the city to help inform voters and promote his progressive values. These guides are rich with background information, links to relevant resources, and detailed commentary about the why’s and what’s of the various […]

    046 Annamarie Pluhar, Sharing Housing

    For episode forty-six, I spoke with Annamarie Pluhar who runs a nonprofit organization named Sharing Housing. She is the author of a book titled “Sharing Housing: A Guidebook for Finding and Keeping Good Housemates” which extols the virtues of sharing housing and provides practical advice on how to find compatible housemates. Earlier this year I posted a blog article where I estimated that the number of empty bedrooms in Boulder is approximately 30,000 using census data. Recently Boulder city council updated the occupancy restrictions which could potentially make it easier to make better use of those empty bedrooms. I think […]
