City Cast Denver ‘Cars Ruin Cities,’ Local Movie Theater Love, and Who Pays for Wildfire Safety?
It’s been an unseasonably warm December, and that means the risk of wildfires is relatively high. So, producer Olivia Jewell Love and producer Paul Karolyi discuss how Xcel Energy is preparing for a possible pre-emptive power shutdown this week. Plus, we unravel the mystery of the street safety signs that were hacked last Friday to read “Cars Ruin Cities” and respond to listener questions about movie theaters, tipping, and South Park’s latest take on Denver.
Paul talked about the controversy around Xcel’s unannounced pre-emptive power shutdowns last year.
