Today's Guests
Governor Jared Polis joins me for the first time on KOA. We'll cover as much as we can but I'll certainly ask about his thoughts on Colorado's worst-in-the-nation COVID rate. We'll also discuss the fact that we're stuck at about 35th in the nation with a 5.6% unemployment rate (based on September data.) If you text me at 56690 between 9 AM and 11 AM with a question for the governor, I'll ask him a few listener questions.
CU Physics Professor Paul Beale, a listener and host favorite, returns to talk about...wait for it...physics! Including the possibility that we don't REALLY know that the universe started with a Big Bang.
The burning Halloween questions of the day
Do you remember a Halloween costume you wore as a kid?
And what are the best and worst Halloween candies?
email me HERE and tell me your answers, or text me at 56690 during the show!
