The Kathie J Show | Living with ALS

When ALS forced my coworker, Karen Miller, to step away from her career early, we sat down for an honest, emotional conversation. Karen opens up about her diagnosis, the changes happening to her body and the experimental treatment trial giving her reason to hope. I also asked the hard questions: Are you scared? What do you want your family to know? This is Karen, in her own words, and I'm honored she shared with us.

The Kathie J Show | Chuck St. John

What does nearly 40 years behind the microphone teach you about connection and community? In this interview, I sit down with my friend Chuck St. John — a true Denver radio legend who has worn many hats across Colorado's airwaves and loved every second of it. Chuck and I have worked "down the hall" from each other for years. Now retired, Chuck shares what it meant to be that voice in someone's car or kitchen, the privilege of communicating with an entire community and his hopes for the future of radio. Professional, genuine and an absolute joy to work with – I love Chuck.

Our healthcare system is confusing—and expensive. What if surgery came with one clear price that covered the surgeon, the facility and the care? That’s exactly what Smith Medical Direct Specialty Care of Denver offers. They’re a direct-pay surgery center working with top surgeons and performing more than 200 procedures. In this interview, we break down how it works, who it’s best for, why high-deductible patients and employers should pay attention and why you should always ask for the cash price before any procedure.
