It’s ok-some amazing episodes lots of meh commentary
There are some truly great episodes. But I kind of dread every episode not knowing what I’m getting myself into. Occasionally you learn something really cool. Paul’s enthusiasm and commentary is the best and more of his joy would make the city better and it certainly makes the show better. Erin O’toole has been a nice addition to the show she communicates more factually than Bree, a lot less opinion and very factual. Maybe they aren’t anti housing but many of the opinions have the resulting outcome of being anti housing. Lots of “housing in Denver is so expensive but I hope no houses are built because of neighborhood character or that diner is essential.” More neighbors can mean more fun, we may lose some things along the way. But in the end we could gain a lot of good. Bree is pretty car centric over people. Recently expressed frustration that Denver doesn’t incentivize people to not drive. And as a result should add meters to civic center. Which would get rid of bus and bike lanes that are incentives to not drive. Of course the biggest incentive of all is making other forms of transportation easier than driving. Which in that sense Bree missed that they were incentivized. Not to mention making transit/mobility a feature leads to better equity. Cars are expensive and do not lead to just outcomes. Having these opinions gets trashed on the show A LOT. With people who express these opinions being labeled elitist or transit-freaks. This show would also be better if it was less depressing. Sometimes it really comes off as the Denver Bummer podcast. More being for things and less being against everything would make this so much more pleasant. At least closer to 50-50 on optimism/pessimism would be uplifting.

Partially because she’s so good at finding the things and people that make this city great and lifting them up. Hard to go wrong with a podcast talking about the best burrito in town one week, and then...Read full review »
