24: July 16 2025 - Pikes Peak Bulletin Expanding - Loving the Springs
As the Colorado Springs Independent morphed, and ultimately disappeared from the local news media scene, the longtime Manitou Springs newspaper has been expanding its coverage and distribution throughout the Pikes Peak region. We invited the publisher and the editor to spill the tea on what’s happening with the Pikes Peak Bulletin.
Lyn Harwell, President and Publisher, and Heila Ershadi, Managing Editor, fill us in on developments since Sixty35 Media shut down and cut the Pikes Peak Bulletin loose, including why they are currently running an “emergency fundraiser.”

Loving the Springs celebrates the best of Colorado Springs and elevates the rest.
Plug into what’s happening in the Pikes Peak region, learn about awesome people, places and happenings, and explore opportunities to make life here even better. Longtime Springs booster Carrie Simison co-hosts with local gadflies Al Brody and Dave Gardner. All three love our two springs – Colorado and Manitou, so they give them the mic in this twice-monthly podcast. Nothing’s off the table – recreation, the arts, government, business, politics – if it touches your life, they’ll talk about it. We’ll invite the movers and shakers, conspiracy theorists, NIMBYs, YIMBYs, yaysayers and naysayers to join them.
