“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.”

“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!”

“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 »

“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 »

“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 »

“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 »
