I'm (Reluctantly) Leaving Colorado

“If you don’t do something, this could kill you.”

When a doctor tells you that, you listen. At least you should listen. I was stubborn, so I went to see two other doctors.

All of them agreed: I need to move from Colorado. I have a somewhat-rare condition that prevents me from sleeping more than a few hours each night. In case you hadn’t heard, that’s dangerous.

The best way to treat it? Get away from altitude and move closer to sea level.

So I am. By the time Christmas gets here I’ll be living 1,400 miles from Denver, in a small town in Georgia.

BUT – and this is important – I’m NOT leaving the morning radio show. I’m building a home studio so Jeremy and I can continue to do the show together.

He’ll be in Denver, I’ll be in Georgia, and if I hadn’t told you, you’d never be able to tell. It’ll sound like I’m still in the same room with my radio partner.

Nothing about the show will change. I’ll still do the Mindbender, we’ll still have Boyz Against The Girlz, Rattle Off, Five Calls Says It All, and everything else.

Twenty years ago this would’ve been tricky to do. Today, it’s common in the radio industry. Technology allows us to have listeners all over the world (and we do), and the same basic technology allows me to host the show from anywhere.

I could do it from the International Space Station if they’d let me, and I wish they would. (Although talk about altitude . . .)

This move has been seven years in the making, because that’s how long doctors have asked me to do it. I’ve resisted. But now it’s happening.

No, I won’t become a Falcons/Braves/Hawks fan. I’m a Denver boy, and I’ll come back to town several times a year for Mix 100 events.

Thank you for (hopefully) supporting this move, and for continuing to make our show number one. It has always been, and will always be, a Denver morning show, regardless of where I’m (finally) sleeping.

 

Thank you.
