Polis and Boebert at the Rockies Game, Denver's Next Top Mascot, and More from the Mailbag!
Could prediction markets in politics mean more participation from voters? What if the Denver Summit FC’s mascot was a giant sun? Where’s the best place in the city to watch Denver’s own Nini Coco compete in the finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race next week? Host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi are digging into the City Cast Denver mailbag today to respond to listeners’ questions, comments, and thoughts. Plus, Governor Jared Polis and Congresswoman Lauren Boebert snapped a photo together at the Rockies’ home opener on Friday and of course we have thoughts about it!
Paul mentioned Blaze, Water World’s new mascot. Thanks to listener Benton who pointed us toward the new support line for folks struggling with gambling issues: 1-800-MY-RESET
