Generally enjoyable, but more blue with a side of red

“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 can hear certain tones in the reporting that seems much more favorable to blue than red. If you triply want to be purple, all I ask is that you consider the flavor and phrasing to match each side.
To try to be helpful and give you a concrete example, the episodes about Jared Polis and Walker Stapleton felt very different to me. It felt as though even though Polis dumped 18 times the amount of funding into his own campaign than Stapleton, it didn’t feel phrased negatively. Yet when discussing the family contributions from the Bush family to Stapleton’s campaign, the tone sounded very villainous.
The phrasing was more geared towards the positives of self funding than the downsides which were mentioned but not as heavily. Similarly the positive contributions of the Bush/Stapleton families to their communities and Colorado specifically were mentioned but it felt like an afterthought.
A second example is that it felt very one sided to have the introduction of the initiative process be focused on entirely 1 ballot initiative that happens to be one sided. The mention was of how much oil and gas companies were funding the Reponse to this initiative. No mention of highly contested liberal ballot initiatives in this or past elections, or the fact that Jared Polis nearly funded the entire campaign FOR a very similar ballot initiative 4 years ago for setbacks on oil and gas...an initiative that today, he publicly opposes.
I’m short, the intro to the initiative podcast being so 1 sided was entirely unnecessary.
Just one purplish opinion.
Thanks for this podcast. It’s been very enjoyable so far.”

“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.”
