Reporting Beyond Who Hates Trump The Most

Reporting Beyond Who Hates Trump The Most

Tune in to Crux Politica Episode 10, with veteran Colorado Sun reporter Jesse Aaron Paul.  We get into his beat at the State Capitol, what it's like to cover the state budget, the role of "dark money" in Colorado's primary elections and how the issues of the day are manifesting in the Governor's race. This Episode is dedicated to the great Lynn Bartels.  May she Rest In Peace.

Have you been stakeholded lately?

Tune in to Crux Politica Episode 9, “Have you been stakeholded lately”. Got a little behind on releasing this latest episode where we start with some thoughts on the early June Republican gubernatorial debate; a debate so bananas it would later be spotlighted for the entire country by John Oliver. We discuss the latest round of vetoes from Gov. Polis, and reflect on some of the themes around public decision-making that our guest, Berrick Abramson, facilitator for Colorado’s AI Taskforce, shared with us. Berrick’s expertise is facilitating consensus and agreement on complicated issues with disparate participants.  In this episode we dig in on how facilitated stakeholder meetings are run, the finer details of AI regulation, the role of agitation, and when it’s time for calmer conversation.  Lots to chew on. We hope you enjoy it!

Tina Peters, American discontent, and an interview with David Seligman

Tune in to Crux Politica Episode 8, where we digest the recent news of Governor Jared Polis' commutation of Tina Peters' sentence. We then chat with guest David Seligman. David is the Executive Director of the legal non-profit Towards Justice and running in the Democratic primary for Attorney General of Colorado.  We dig in on economic populism and take the other side of the conversation about business regulation and what needs to be addressed in the economy.

Episode 7: Beef: It's What's On The Ballot

Tune in to Crux Politica Episode 7, with Scott Wasserman and Henry Sobanet.  In this episode, we recover from some misadventures in coordinating a guest and talk amongst ourselves. We check in on what will be on the 2026 ballot via citizen initiative and explain how this relatively unknown, but very Colorado process works.  If you have ever wondered how or why we have so many things on our ballots in this state, this is the episode for you.
