    Oct 23 2025

    In this pilot episode of Taste Makin’ w/ Sam & Josh, the hosts introduce their mission to spotlight the rich, evolving culture of Colorado through food, art, and community. From the mountain-town charm of Colorado Springs to the creative heartbeat of Denver, Sam and Josh unpack what makes their home state more than just a backdrop — it’s a growing hub for flavor, creativity, and connection.

    A highlight of the episode dives into Colorado Springs’ “What’s Left Fest” — a festival that embodies the underground creative movement in the city. Sam and Josh reflect on how events like this nurture local art, highlight independent voices, and inspire collaboration among musicians, chefs, and makers. The conversation also explores festival culture as a whole, discussing how it has become a new frontier for cultural connection, creativity, and community pride.

    They dive into their backgrounds, the inspiration behind Taste Makin’, and their plans to bring listeners closer to the chefs, artists, and cultural innovators shaping Colorado’s identity. Expect laughs, insight, and plenty of local love as they set the tone for what’s to come.
