Please join me for what promises to be a fascinating show with in-studio guest, former Speaker of the Colorado House of Representatives and unsuccessful candidate for U.S. Senate, Andrew Romanoff.

In addition to news of the week, we’ll talk about Colorado politics and his 2010 challenge of Michael Bennet for the Democratic Party’s nomination for the Senate.  We’ll discuss political philosophy and explore the mind of a “Progressive” much more “up close and personal” than non-liberals such as most Backbone Radio listeners (and all Backbone Radio hosts) usually have the opportunity to do.  And we’ll speak with Andrew about his current endeavor, working with IDE, an international non-profit organization working to help some of the world’s poorest people by trying to “create income opportunities for poor rural households.”

Andrew should be with the show for at least the entirety of the first two hours, letting us go more in depth on issues than one will hear on most other radio shows.  Please don’t be shy about calling in to ask Andrew questions – and please be polite if you do, even if you disagree with his political philosophy as much as I do.

Also, in the 7-o’clock hour we’ll be joined by State Senator Ted Harvey to talk about the upcoming senate session, including legislation he has introduced to “increase competition in Denver metro taxi cab companies through deregulation."  It’s an issue I’ve actually thought about before due to my support of the Institute for Justice, which took on a similar situation and won in court.

Please join me by listening to (and calling in to) this week’s Backbone Radio program from 5 PM to 8 PM on 710 AM KNUS in Denver and 1460 AM KZNT in Colorado Springs.
