Interesting, informative pod

Stumbled upon this show while looking for a new regional podcast to listen to. Glad I found it! The hosts have great chemistry together - guess it helps that they are married! No political content (at least in the earlier shows which is where I am at in my listening) - the hosts stick to the subject/genre of the pod…which is refreshing. Each episode is packed w/ info about each topic (what to do in Denver, e.g.). Would def recommend you give this show a listen if you’re interested in visiting or moving to Colorado.

I wanna move out there right now!

I'm not exhaggerating. My wife and I have been looking at a small town in the Sangres for a couple years. Listening to Ryan and Carrie just make the desire to move more powerful.

BTW: I always said bloggers should record their posts and release as a podcast. Hashtag Colorado Life is an EXCELLENT example of how that works.
