I got my blue book and first thing I did was check to see if their were fresh Purplish episodes explaining the measures.

It can be difficult to find news about local politics but Purplish does a great job doing just that! I learn so much with each episode and am entertained along the way.

This podcast is a good way to keep up on CO politics. Bente and Andrew do a nice job of laying out the issues, contextualizing the news, and keeping biases in check. It’s weird when Megan gets on the mic. She always makes it about how she’s the editor, she’s the boss, she’s in charge. The comment...Read full review »

I was lukewarm about the coverage during the election, but the coverage of the state legislature has been outstanding. Whether or not you think Colorado is still a purple state, the podcast is excellent coverage.

Purplish is incredibly insightful for everyone, no matter where you stand on the political spectrum, no matter what level of involvement! I listened when I was an undergrad in PSCI and I listen today as a campaign manager.

I have been listening for just over a year now. Great content, keep it up and thank you for all your work. 🙌🏼🥳

Everyone in CO needs to listen

I was excited to see you had an episode on all the Ballot Measures. I wish you would do a more thorough dive into the blue book. Your next episode should be a sit down with a non partisan rep from each side to break it down item by item in laymen’s terms. One problematic example, I read through...Read full review »

Time flies by listening to this informative podcast. State legislation makes a much bigger impact on our lives than whatever is happening (or not happening) in DC. These podcasters take a topic that might be intimidating and not only make it accessible, but also fun. Not an easy feat.

The most direct impact on our daily lives often comes from local, rather than national, politics. This is a fantastic (and entertaining) way to stay up to date on the happenings at the Colorado statehouse during the legislative session. Be informed! Give it a listen!

Easy and fun to listen to each week- thanks for the rundown of what’s happening in our state!

This is phenomenal. I’ve been a public radio supporter for a few years and a podcast listener for the same amount of time. I really enjoyed my NPR podcasts, but to have local stations creating great content is one of the best things I’ve heard. I would love to see more from CPR and more from...Read full review »

Please have an episode explaining TABOR in depth

I felt this was a great podcast highlighting local issues from various points of view. Honest media is tough to find and I hope you all continue this podcast soon because we need more of it.

I have recommended this podcast to friends and family alike - I feel like the Purplish team works hard to give a full, nuanced view of what is going on across CO state politics, Front Range and beyond. Thanks for a good first season, and I hope you bring us more in the future!

I so enjoyed this podcast. Not sure I like being called a “geezer” (ha ha) but I truly found the topics timely, informative and well worth listening to. I agree with many others here that it would be great if you could keep going with this, at least in some fashion. We all need to stay informed...Read full review »

As a native of Southern Colorado and resident of the Denver suburbs, I found this to be a highly informative and interesting podcast about Colorado politics. I’d recommend to anyone looking to learn more about Colorado.

Hi, I love this podcast. Every episode that I've listened to highlights important things to consider and points out both positives and negatives. As a millennial, it makes figuring out how to vote much better. That being said, I think this podcast should continue past November. Being an...Read full review »

This podcast is so informative and refreshing. It is close to home, incredibly professional, and funny!!!!! I love it.
mking21 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/26/18
I enjoy getting to consider local issues in a thoughtful way. Also, I enjoy the length. This covers big topics, but is just enough to chew on for a while. Thanks for putting it out.

There’s a particular credibility that Coloradans expect and this team hits it on the nose, covering the Western Slope, Southern Colorado and the Plains. Excellent material I look forward to each episode.

I’m a new Denver resident and this podcast has been super helpful as I try to understand the political landscape of my new state - keep up the good reporting!
lilbavaria via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/17/18
Fantastic reporting from some of the CPR crew about political happenings and trends in the state of Colorado.
joish via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/04/18
A genuine suggestion: please consider if you are truly representing both Republican and democratic views equally in the content, but perhaps more importantly the tone of your podcast. I have listened to them all at this point and though i see that you aren’t singling out only democratic views, I...Read full review »

I want to learn more about CO history and gov't. I never knew Teddy Roosevelt cared so much about Progressive CO State measures. Keep going after the election!Read full review »

I really like this podcast. The hosts present complex issues in an engaging and educational manner. I really appreciate the perspectives they share, and I can say that I’ve learned a lot already just by listening. Looking forward to much more!

Sam, Ben, Megan and the crew at Purplish put on a great show that is in depth, fun to listen to, balanced, and well researched. Terrific show about local politics.

New insights into stuff I thought I already knew about.

I love the concept and really enjoyed your first episode. Looking forward to next week!
