We get to chat with Amanda Thorstensen, owner of Joyful Brews right here in Berthoud.

Today we're covering the basic terms and math behind Colorado property taxes, so that you can understand how your property tax bills are calculated and make confident decisions regarding your property taxes.

Our Summer Learning Initiative is for everyone, so listen in as Library CEO Amie Pilla and Youth Services Librarian Christy Headrick explain how you can participate (and maybe even net some big prizes).

Today’s topic hits close to home for us here at the library, because today we’re talking about what items do or do not make it onto the library shelves and how that relates to banning books.

Berthoud Town Administrator Chris Kirk, Berthoud Fire Protection District Chief Steve Charles, and Berthoud Community Library CEO Amie Pilla get together to discuss how their organizations work together and how they're different.

Special guests Patrick Dillon and Will Karspeck join us to talk about affordable housing, housing authorities, and what is happening with housing in Berthoud.

Chief Steve Charles (BFPD) and Sergeant Jim Anderson (LCSO) join us to talk about how to be prepared for possible emergencies. 

Trigger warning: We talk about hypothetical car accidents, house fires, and active shooter incidents in this episode.

An interview about Berthoud real estate with local realtor and resident Joanna Rallo.

In this episode, we’re going to talk about cognitive biases. Different than preferences, cognitive biases are ways that our brains simplify the process of thinking for us. Take a listen and let us know what you think!
