Focuses on community storytelling, local arts, and cultural experiences with episodes featuring discussions on drag culture, music scenes, and interviews with local artists, exemplified by the inaugural episode with Dr. Zackarina Jenny-hoe on queer comedy.
You’ve got interesting neighbors around the city of Denver, from a competitive eater and a UFC fighter to go-go dancers and a psychic medium. On Denverse: Locals Aloud, host Anthony Elio shares the microphone with a unique Denver personality each week. The podcast also spotlights Denver’s eclectic music scene, featuring a full song from a new artist every episode.
We’re joined by Elijah Whelchel, guitarist and vocalist for the band waxpool (and a local teacher about to head back to the classroom). We talk about the indie music scene in Denver, the physical media renaissance, and more.
