History of Larimer Square with Steve Turner

The Pride Podcast Part 1: What It's Like to Live and Design In Denver for LGBTQ People & Allies.

In Part 1 of our special Pride Series, hosts John and Kenda sit down with Justin — San Antonio transplant, proud member of Denver's LGBTQ+ community, and senior designer at Arhaus — for an honest, funny, and heartfelt conversation about what it really means to live openly in Colorado. Justin shares the story of coming out to his mom on a Walmart run (she pointed out girls checking him out minutes later), how he traded 100 days of 100°F Texas heat for Denver's outdoor lifestyle, and why Colorado is the rare place where you can hold your partner's hand absolutely anywhere. They also get into the world of interior design — mountain modern aesthetics, the "grandma chic" trend taking over showrooms, why every great room needs one perfectly wrong piece, and a $200K walk-in client story that will make any designer smile.

How Denver's Unique Geography Creates Extreme Weather

In this episode, hosts Kenda and John interview Denver's 9News Chief Meteorologist Chris Bianchi to explore the unique weather patterns of Denver, Colorado. They discuss the causes of wild temperature swings, storm behavior, and debunk common weather myths, providing valuable insights for residents and newcomers alike.
