Then, Ru Johnson, Westword hip hop writer and poetic late night Tweeter, joins us to talk about tomorrow’s Lady Wu show (be the first to […]
[powerpress https://denverdiatribe.com/denverdiatribe62.mp3] This week, Vanessa, Ron and Josh push the barriers of bantering. “Are Republicans funny?” Perhaps we’ve beaten the question to death, or perhaps this episode is only Round 3 in a twelve round bout. Highlights include Ron admitting he finds Bob Dole hilarious. Also, Trader Joe’s is coming! Trader Joe’s is coming! Is this the […]
This week, Vanessa and Josh talk with award-winning journalist Michael de Yoanna about his latest project, and humor (or the lack of it) in politics on the heels of Stephen Colbert launching his presidential exploratory committee and the convening of the Colorado state legislature (#coleg).

We are collecting […]
This week Vanessa, Joel, Jared, and Josh talk “power:” who’s got it, who’s lost it, and who’s taking his to Canada. Every couple of years, 5280 Magazine takes a stab at identifying the most powerful people in Denver.

This week we explore our inner cheapskates with MileHighontheCheap.com‘s Laura Daily.
