We’re throwing it back to our very first episode of Springs & Things, with an updated Pick of the Week for today.
In this re-release, we reintroduce ourselves and share how this podcast came to life, why Colorado Springs deserves its own hype girls, and what listeners can expect from the show. From growing up here versus moving here, to leaving, exploring the country, and choosing to come back home, this episode sets the foundation for lighthearted, local conversations rooted in community.
You’ll hear how a custom itinerary idea sparked the podcast, how we became unlikely friends, and why Springs & Things is for people who live in, love, and want to feel more connected to Colorado Springs.
If you’re a Colorado Springs resident looking for a fun, approachable way to stay plugged into your city, this is where it all started.
