It’s election day! Coloradans are staring down a massive ballot including propositions 134 and 135, which could have drastic impacts on transgender kids and their classmates. But this isn’t the first time voters have made decisions about the human rights of queer people – back in 1992, Amendment 2 passed, which openly allowed discrimination against the gay community. Today Ann Marie Awad and Xandra McMahon, producers and hosts of The Hate State, a limited podcast series on Colorado’s history of Amendment 2 and ongoing LGBTQ rights fights, join host Bree Davies to dig into what they found when researching Colorado’s recent past.

TLC dropped a trailer for “The Mad Pooper” last week, a documentary featuring appearances from Colorado Springs reporters, cops, and defecation speculators about a mystery number two-er who terrorized the city for months in 2017. Meanwhile in Castle Rock, a woman known as “the bag lady” has allegedly been accosting people at gas stations and in Walmart parking lots with a smelly scam. Our resident green chile correspondent (and current candidate for House District 5) Justine Sandoval joins host Bree Davies to discuss when a quirky community character becomes a public nuisance.

Justine mentioned a previous City Cast Denver episode on Colorado’s biggest viral moments.

When you think of Waymo, you might not yet think of Denver. But you should definitely be thinking of Austin, Texas. State law governing autonomous vehicles (AVs) supersedes city authority and prevents local governments from regulating AVs, creating areas that have become increasingly attractive to AV companies. City Cast Austin host Miles Bloxson joins Your City Could Better to talk about if this loose regulation is good for Texas, particularly its dense capital city, whether local benefit is a priority for manufacturers at all, and how cities can learn from Austin if a similar influx hits their streets.

Mentioned on the show:

• City Cast Austin’s episode on AVs regulation: https://austin.citycast.fm/podcasts/are-texas-schools-using-ai-to-ban-books-plus-driverless-cars-in-austin-and-new-michelin-stars
• Waymo blocking emergency response to Austin shooting: https://www.axios.com/local/austin/2026/03/02/waymo-vehicle-blocks-ems-austin-mass-shooting
• The city of Austin’s public dashboard tracking incidents involving AVs: https://austin.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/dbd59d9b20634de1afad32a8267b739b#

What role will Colorado play if the anticipated “blue wave” overtakes this election? It depends on which congressional district you’re looking at. Democratic strategist and host of the Get More Smarter podcast Ian Silverii and Republican strategist Kelly Maher join host Bree Davies this week to dig into the big congressional races happening across Colorado. From the Gabe Evans vs. Manny Rutinel showdown happening in the relatively new CD8 to questions surrounding Rep. Lauren Boebert’s ability to hang on to her CD4 seat in what used to be a guaranteed red district, the trio discuss what early turnout numbers are showing, where all those unaffiliated voters’ votes are going, and what’s still to be determined by Election Day.

P.S. This conversation was a hefty one, so we’re splitting it into two. Tune in tomorrow for the second half of our conversation with Kelly and Ian!

After years of construction, the new bus rapid transit lane is finally open on one stretch of East Colfax, creating dedicated space for the bus and less room for cars.

Should your right to use natural gas — and for Xcel Energy to sell it — be put into the state’s constitution? Amendment 82 is asking voters just that. But the implications of this Advance Colorado-backed measure are unclear, and intriguingly the local oil and gas industry isn’t even coming out in support of the measure. Denver Post environmental reporter Noelle Phillips joins host Bree Davies to explain how this amendment could impact Colorado’s clean energy goals and what it could mean for you and your gas stove. Plus, Noelle talks about her Halloween decor involving skeletons playing corn hole!

Be sure to check out more of our ongoing coverage of the 2026 election, including Advance Colorado’s influence on the ballot, all the tax-related ballot issues, and a breakdown of citywide measures and statewide measures.

There’s a measure on this November’s ballot that would create a sales tax to support the proposed Front Range Passenger Rail, but around 800,000 ballots featuring 7A were sent out this week to Coloradans that don’t technically have a say in the matter.

City Cast producer Jason Paton has been reporting on the snafu in our newsletter, and he joins contributor Miriam Moreno and producer Olivia Jewell Love to break down the details.
