Our guest is Denver Post columnist Krista Kafer, who returns to Heard Tell to talk about her piece on the changing culture and economics of tipping. From the legendary Casa Bonita to just about every service sector now, how technology and the post-pandemic labor situation is converging around what and how to compensate service sector workers. Also, we talk the state of Colorado politics as the 2024 elections continue to creep closer in that changing and important state.

Your Heard Tell Show for Wednesday, July 26th, 2023 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by discussing Elon Musk changing Twitter's branding from the well known bird to his long imagined "X", what it means, and is it going to work out to become the "everything app" he envisions it to be. We go to Alaska where the 8 year long legal fight over 210-miles of proposed road through protected federal land has the Biden Administration between a rock and a hard place of championing a green future, but needing to mine the rare earth minerals that are needed to fuel it. Our guest is Denver Post columnist Krista Kafer, who returns to Heard Tell to talk about her piece on the changing culture and economics of tipping. From the legendary Casa Bonita to just about every service sector now, how technology and the post-pandemic labor situation is converging around what and how to compensate service sector workers. We end on a good note with a story about something so common most folks take it for granted, but became a huge deal to some kids before back-to-school.

Your Heard Tell for Tuesday, April 4th, 2022, is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by discussing the wall-to-wall coverage of Trump Indictment day and parsing out the insane amount of news media coverage for and against the former president that Trump generates. We talk the huge ratings, raging controversy, and growing importance of women's college basketball and how big personalities and intense competition generate not just trash talk on the court but high ratings and even higher emotional investment that some folks are not keeping their bearing over. Also, our host Andrew Donaldson attenend the recent Appalachian Policy Conference at the American Enterprise Institute and shares thoughts on the region, his beloved West Virginia, and the good things about keeping policy people-centric when dealing with complex problems. We do some Heard Tell housekeeping explaining why the program is different, where have we been, and Andrew gives an update on the situations and issues that has kept us away, and what will be happening going forward. Plus, we end on a good note with a pair of twins in the UK saving the life of a man during the same medical crisis that claimed their father.

All that and more on this Tuesday Edition of Heard Tell.
