Voices of Pueblo
“Voices of Pueblo: Digging Deeper” is a dynamic podcast from the Pueblo Star Journal hosted by Gregory Howell, Andy Koen, and Bree Pappan, along with local reporters and content creators from our diverse newsroom. Our mission is to deliver local news and stories while recognizing that people gather information from a variety of sources. This podcast is our way of digging deeper—bringing audiences across our community in-depth coverage and fresh perspectives. Each month, we go beyond the print stories in the Pueblo Star Journal, bringing listeners firsthand accounts straight from Pueblo’s neighborhoods. From lifestyle and entertainment to the environment, sports, the social safety net, food, and culture, we explore the Steel City angle on the most compelling topics. Through interviews and original storytelling, Voices of Pueblo serves as your audio and video guide to understanding local news and why Pueblo is at the heart of it all.
