The Get More Smarter Podcast - A Weekly Show About Colorado Politics
The Get More Smarter Podcast is a weekly overview of Colorado politics. The podcast is hosted by seasoned Colorado politicos Jason Bane of ColoradoPols.com and Ian Silverii, former 9News talking head, former Denver Post Columnist, former Executive Director of ProgressNow Colorado, and current has-been. Each week they dive into the local and national news, and for some reason, have had Governors, US Senators, Members of Congress, and countless local elected officials as guests over the years. The guys are also frighteningly good at predicting the future. No, really. Are you ready to Get More Smarter?

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, with less than 15 days until the 2026 Colorado Primary Elections we give the electorate a vibe check and let you know who to bet the college fund for or against on Polymarket! Then the Iran war enters its 15th-ish week, or it’s already over, or it never began, or it wasn’t a war, or maybe we shouldn’t have gotten rid of Obama’s Iran Deal to begin with! We find out that the federal government is using some combination of stupid idiots and some bad LLM to try to target Jefferson County Schools, again, and it doesn’t go well. And finally, we’ve got a new game inspired by our time with our friends at the Douglas County Democratic Party!
