Evergreen Picks Up the Pieces, Michelin Guide Surprises, and Listeners Respond to the Recent Shootings
The 2025 Michelin Guide has officially dropped and everyone from a seasoned sushi chef to a restaurant that just opened this summer picked up accolades. So, how did our Michelin predictions from last week pan out? Then, as Evergreen reels from the shooting last week, local businesses and a rival school are stepping up to support the community. Host Bree Davies and producers Paul Karolyi and Olivia Jewell Love discuss the latest news, plus respond to listener comments about our recent coverage of the school shooting and the killing of Charlie Kirk.
The Colorado Healing Fund is collecting donations to support shooting victims and needs of the Evergreen community; there is also a GoFundMe for Evergreen shooting survivor Matthew Silverstone. Paul mentioned Don’t Name Them, which like “No Notoriety” campaign was founded by families of victims of the Aurora theater shooting.
