Ep. 250: Drew Magary Returns!

Drew Magary was nice enough to be on my show once already when he was promoting The Hike. That was Episode 139 in July of 2017. Kind of a lot has happened since then.

Jonathan Shikes is a freelance writer for Denver Westword, author of Denver Beer: A History of Mile High Brewing, and one of my favorite beer nerds in the city. I first met him while doing publicity for the rollout of Old 121 Brewhouse, and have wanted to have him on the show ever since. During…

Ep. 248: Scott Keith – Professional Wrestling Writer

What do I say about Scott Keith here? I’ve probably read more of this man’s words on the internet than anyone else. (For the record, second and third place probably belong to Drew Magary and Roger Ebert.) On one of his old websites, he had a feature called “The Rant Crew” that allowed pretty much…

Ep. 247: Ryan Spilborghs – Former MLB Outfielder, Current Colorado Rockies Broadcaster

Dude, it’s SPILLY! Ryan Spilborghs is one of my all-time Top 3 favorite Rockies (the other two, since you’re likely wondering, are Todd Helton and Nolan Arenado). The reason is that I loved his play, and more importantly, I loved his personality. He was a a big part of the huge beating heart of this…

Ep. 244: NERF from 93.3 KTCL and Punk Tacos (6-Year Anniversary!)

What are three of the things I love most? Punk rock. Radio. Denver. So, if I’m celebrating my 6-year anniversary of being a show, I’m doing it in style with a dude hugely responsible for Denver being such an amazing music town. I’ve got NERF from 93.3 KTCL talking with me (remotely, of course) about…

Welp, I live in Denver, so I’m not going anywhere for awhile! As long as we’re here, why not create some great content? That’s right, the show is back on and I’m planning on having some amazing guests for you in the coming weeks. We’re going to get through this together, and I’m grateful for…

Ep. 242: Mailbag March 2020

The Mailbag returns to the podcast. I take your questions in a fun, lively, sort of unhinged half hour. Anytime I do a solo episode, I choose intentionally not to edit it. So, if you’ve ever been curious what it’s like inside my brain, here it is – circuitous thinking, lots of profanity, strange opinions,…
