Customer Reviews
Love this podcast!
Interesting, informative and well presented
A little long
I love the in-depth Colorado topics but at over an hour I usually can’t find the time to listen them. I wrote this review weeks ago and haven’t heard my review mentioned.
They do mention reviews!
My go-to
As a national politics junkie, Get More Smarter is my go-to for all things Colorado (plus good national analysis). Ian and Jason and my favorite special guest Christy Powell are informative and hilarious. I never miss a week.
