The Get More Smarter Podcast - A Weekly Show About Colorado Politics

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast,

Our main Colorado podcast competition and known logo thieves probably break campaign finance laws (or most certainly will);
Colorado’s 8th congressional district doesn’t yet exist, but a solid Democratic candidate for it certainly does;
Embattled Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters is still on the lam, but she popped up to talk to MyPillow Guy Mike Lindell (with whom she most certainly is not having a torrid love affair);
Lauren Boebert as crooked as she is shady, and she’s very, very bad at hiding it;
Ken Buck still sucks, but not as bad as...
The totally-not-Republican-redistricting-squad-who-are-entirely-made-up-of-washed-up-Republicans-pretending-not-to-be-Republicans;
Speaking of Republican stupidity, they’re trying to disenfranchise the majority of Colorado voters because they’re not out of power enough.

Hosts: Jason Bane | Ian Silverii
Producer: Ethan Black

Boebert's Big Bogus Bonus Bribe

Send us a message! Really!

This week, Donald Trump has resumed his rightful place back in the White House...just kidding, that didn’t happen. The Colorado GOP has the worst August on record: we take bets on how much worse it can get in the last week! The Republican Mesa County Clerk and Recorder is in hiding with the MyPillow guy after leaking confidential election security information to QAnon people and Lauren Boebert has about 15 enormous problems she didn’t have last week. We read you the internet, and we talk about Ian's personal favorite subject: legislative cartography!

Heidi Ga-Not-Gonna-Be-Governor Trips Into the Race

Send us a message! Really!

The Colorado Governor’s race has gone to the doggy day care: we interview a dog to find out what this all means. We have questions for anyone running for office in 2022 and so should you; we’ve been asking you all to vax that ass up for weeks now, and now President Biden is requiring you to do so; map madness continues with another round of staff maps from the congressional and legislative redistricting commissions; on top of being generally awful, Lauren Boebert is just, well, weird; the Mesa County Clerk Crime family is at it again, who’s turning themselves in this week?; and those death panels Sarah Palin warned us about back in 2008? Well, they’re real now, and they’re in Idaho.
