In a heartfelt, wide-ranging conversation, Tom Green reunites with longtime friend and former 9NEWS co-anchor Kim Christiansen to reflect on her remarkable four-decade career in Denver news. Kim revisits the Avalanche’s 1996 Stanley Cup run, including the terrifying celebration on Larimer Square, and shares deeply personal stories from the toughest assignments of her career—from Columbine to the Aurora theater shooting. She opens up about imposter syndrome, the early days of working in a male-dominated newsroom, the mentors who shaped her, and the joy (and pain) of telling Colorado’s most important stories. Tom and Kim also talk family, motherhood, sports, CU, John Elway, and the unique bond that made their on-air partnership special.
