Westword editor emeritus Patty Calhoun joins politics contributor Adrian Felix in his last episode filling in as guest host to break down what’s going on at the detention center, discuss the state of downtown in light of the departure of Denver’s Chief Projects Officer Bill Mosher, and chat about the questionable international decisions made by two companies that had their start here: Crocs and Chipotle. Patty mentioned Chipotle getting name-dropped in an episode of the NPR podcast “Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!” earlier this month.
