    What was the purpose of reporting on the report?
  • MsTish22
    Report all of the news
    There is a lot going on in this state especially Denver and you aren’t reporting it
  • ElyseKe
    Relevant succinct & informative
    Great coverage
  • Milo's Review Corner
    Old time reporting doesn't mix with modern day delivery.
    The info is solid & the reporting is sound. But by god do these people need to work on writing a script before they hit record. So many needless "umms" make each episode feel like it could literally wrapped up in be 5 minutes! I wish they would just hire younger people to read the articles by the writers because it nearly puts me to sleep. Super unprofessional & really disappointing coming from the same folks that do such a good job keeping me informed.
  • C.M. Talbert
    Like News Used To Be
    I feel educated about a topic after listening to this podcast. Not outraged or sad or despondent. It’s like going 20 years back in time, but right now.
  • ILovesMeMusic
    Very good news podcast
    Really enjoy this look at Colorado news from the Sun. It’s one of the few independent news sources to trust.
  • Dawnaf80
    Disappointed.
    I listen most days and generally enjoy this informative local podcast. Today I’m disappointed. Describing crisis pregnancy centers as “clinics that may not be as willing to provide abortion services” but do provide other pregnancy related care. Breezing over concerns about deceptive practices and lies perpetuated by these clinics. Down playing the weight of ACOG with a both sides argument. Today was not a good day for this podcast.
  • emmak in foco
    Long live local journalism!
    I LOVE the Colorado Sun’s reporting and their mission to support local journalism across the state. I’m a proud member and listen to the Daily Sun-Up most mornings to get my Colorado updates in a concise dose.
  • Boulderrox
    Quick and informative
    I enjoy listening to this everyday. It’s informative and not too long and I feel like I know more about what’s going on in Colorado!
  • MaeGib
    True journalism
    Great way to start my day. Non-partisan and informative. Keep up the great work.
  • Aliwaba
    Fantastic local news source
    I’ve been an online Colorado Sun member since earlier this year and am loving the daily podcast. It’s the perfect compliment to national news podcast like NPR’s Up First and NYT’s The Daily. It’s a great way to start the day! Keep up the good work
  • ed00g
    Breath of (local) fresh air
    The Colorado Sun is such a unique, high quality publication. I was so excited to hear that they were starting an easy to digest morning podcast to go over local headlines & stories. Just like their other products, it is top notch.
  • Jennagree38
    Well-rounded!
    Love this format - packs a punch, isn’t bloviated... and I appreciate the focus on local issues with a nod to the world at large. History segment is my favorite. And the strings music is catchy too! - always gets me in the mood to see what the topics are.
  • bartpillsbury
    Love the Sun
    Delighted to have the Sun around and really enjoy the podcast. One small-ish issue, though: the music and voice are a little too whimsical and make it sound like I’m listening to a children’s book being read.
  • Rocky_Joe12
    Love the Sun!
    I've always enjoyed reading my local news from the Sun but to now be able to listen to them is even better! I've often thought podcasting was an area where they could expand and now they've done so in an informative and concise way! Keep up the great work!
  • HKrustofsky
    Love It!
    So glad I found this. In its first week apparently.
  • JamieScap
    A must for any CO resident
    We have been listening for a couple days now and it’s been a great way to start the morning! As a lifelong Colorado resident it’s always been important to keep up with what is going on in our state. Highly recommend!
  • Colorado 14ers
    Great stuff
    I’m really glad to see this addition to the Colorado news scene. I don’t have time to listen to long podcasts, so this is awesome. Interesting. Concise. Well produced.
  • Bbrunester
    Great source of local news for CO
    I’ve been listening for a couple of days now. I’m really loving being able to listen to news that’s focused on my home state. If live in Colorado or have an interest in its affairs then this podcast is something you need to listen to.
  • Lobstar OG
    It’s like the daily, but for Denver!
    Great podcast, quick and informative. Definitely worth your time. It’s got that public radio vibe 🤓
  • Caitlin923
    Thanks Colorado Sun!
    Great way to start my morning!
  • WritingGnu
    Off to a great start
    A great, concise, well produced high level review of features. It would be even better to have links directly to the articles highlighted in the show notes. Looking forward to adding this to my morning routine.
  • Hawksdman
    Great way to start the day
    Concise and informative - a great way to start the day with a cup of coffee or on a commute.
