Denver

Mentioned 13 times across 9 podcasts this week

This Week's Pulse

Denver has been in the news for a 12.5% drop in homelessness, a Colorado Supreme Court ruling on medical care, and the wrap-up of the state legislative session. While the city navigates these policy shifts, the podcast world remains focused on its status as a hub for comedy, business meetups, and niche technical conferences.

In the comedy scene, Duncan Trussell noted his residency at the Comedy Works, telling listeners, "I'm in Denver right now at Comedy Works, the downtown club." Meanwhile, Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh reflected on their own recent live shows in the city, with Schulz remarking, "Son, at the show in Denver, there's a sign language interpreter."

Beyond the stage, the city serves as a frequent touchpoint for business and infrastructure. Shaan Puri highlighted the organic growth of My First Million fan groups, noting, "I met people who like the podcast, they told me, like, 'Oh, I'm part of the MFM Denver meetup.'." Meanwhile, Peter Sagal of Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! kept things light, highlighting a local legal dispute: "a gym in Denver is being sued by owners of condos in the building above the gym."

Whether it's Logan Murdock using the Denver Nuggets as a baseline for team rotations or Jean-Baptiste Kempf praising the local Mile High Video Conference, the city's influence is diverse. As Denver prepares for potential wildfire-related evacuations, its role as both a cultural and operational hub seems set to continue.
