Left in the Attic is a podcast turning hot takes into movement building, breaking down power, politics, and the path toward a more just and progressive Colorado.
Straight out of a Denver attic, we’re cutting through the noise to talk about what’s really happening—and how we can build a Colorado that works for all of us.
In this Left in the Attic episode, hosts Ana and Deep discuss the Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) and its impact on Colorado's future. Guest Chris deGruy Kennedy from the Bell Policy Center shares insights on TABOR’s history and challenges. They examine its effects on public services, education, and healthcare, and explore efforts to reform it through grassroots organizing. The conversation also covers the bipartisan push to release Epstein files and the wider influence of money and power in politics.
In this episode of 'Left in the Attic,' Ana and Deep talk about the Democratic Party's future, its shutdown mistakes, and the housing crisis. Guest Rep. Javier Mabry shares his story from homelessness to lawmaker and defender of renters. They discuss Bronco Stadium's potential move, party divisions, corporate power, and Mabry's work on affordable housing and tenant rights. The episode closes with a call to back labor unions and Starbucks union efforts.
Episode 1 kicks things off with Ana and Deep sharing who they are, how they met, what being high school teachers was like through Trump’s first election, and why they believe in the power of community amidst the crumbling of democracy.
