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, by the time you listen to this show you may have the longest ballot in Colorado history in your mailbox or sitting on your table, because IT’S VOTING TIME Y’ALL!
We check in on the swandive that the GOP are doing in national polls as Donald Trump insists voters pretend he’s on the ballot. How bad is the political environment for Republicans? So bad that dark money groups are spending in all FOUR GOP held congressional districts in Colorado. Then, Jeff Crank is a douchebag for doxxing a friend of the pod, Michael Allen is full of shit, Victor Marx forgets the first rule of holes, and we’ve got more campaign ads, more idiocracy, and…choo-choo trains!
The Colorado Connector, aka COCO, is coming to a station near you, first stop, The Get More Smarter Podcast! We’ve got Front Range Passenger Rail District General Manager Sal Pace on the show to talk about the ballot question that hasn’t gotten as much attention as it should have, but will be on most of our ballots this November along with A LOT of other stuff.
