18 ABR. 2023 · Vic Lombardi asserts that aside from Quarterback of the Denver Broncos, no one has a more difficult job title in Denver than Stacey Stegman. Her full title is Senior Vice President of Communications, Marketing & Customer Experience at Denver International Airport. Everyone, it seems, complains about air travel, and Stacey is there to field them all.
Prior to her role at DIA, Stacey was Public Relations Director for Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), so she heard all of your traffic gripes, too. A Colorado native, Stacey joins Vic to talk all things travel from highways to trains to airplanes to the magical trip your baggage takes through the airport. She also talks about her career journey, why she thought she'd end up on the same side of the media equation as Vic, some of the stranger and more harrowing tales from the PR trenches and more. Plus, she tells you how to optimize your visit to DIA.

7 MAR. 2023 · According to Vic, Reggie Rivers is "the smartest man [he's] ever known." That's a bold statement, but after listening to this episode, it's hard to disagree with.

On this episode Vic and Reggie talk about Reggie's journey from military brat to unlikely college football star, to even unlikelier NFL player, to his eventual cut from the Denver Broncos. Reggie even shares which football position lends itself to the dumbest players. It's post-football that the conversation finds another gear as Reggie shares insights about everything from sports gambling to wars between ant colonies, to the richness of our democracy (and what threatens it), to the George Floyd protests of 2020. There's lots of laughs between old friends, new insights, and a thoroughly fun and rewarding listening experience.
