Episode Details

Multiple bear spottings around the Denver metro have got some conspiracy theories swirling online; is the drought really the reason bears are wandering down into suburban areas, or could there be other factors at play? Contributor Joshua Emerson joins producer Olivia Jewell Love to do some bear myth busting with help from Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and they give some tips on what to do if you encounter one! Then, local bartenders sound off on the best (and worst) drink orders, and what they say about the Denverites who order them.
