Book Talk: Markets Vol 1, Photographer Jeff Fierberg
2026-03-19 18:00 - 20:00 | The Denver Press Club, 1330 Glenarm Pl, Denver, CO, 80204, United States
Jeff is a world-class, in-demand food photojournalist, creative force, and cultural interpreter.
His work has appeared in collaboration with Michelin Guide and Roads & Kingdoms — the globally respected publication co-founded by the late Anthony Bourdain.
Jeff doesn’t just photograph food.
He photographs power. Migration. Memory. Culture. Presence.
Markets, in Jeff’s lens, are not simply places to buy ingredients — they are living archives. They are civic classrooms. They are negotiations of class, gender, resilience, colonial history, and joy.
His “love letter to markets,” Markets Vol. 1 reframes them as one of the most powerful ways to understand a culture. Through color, texture, and story, he invites us to see how food becomes a gateway into social and political history — and how something as ordinary as a spice stall can reveal extraordinary truths about humanity.
This will be a delicious, thought-provoking evening for community builders, culinary explorers, journalists, creatives, and anyone who believes food tells stories worth listening to.

Book Talk - One Betrayal Too Many: Why I Left MAGA
2026-04-17 18:30 - 19:30 | The Denver Press Club, 1330 Glenarm Pl, Denver, CO, 80204, United States
Rich Logis spent seven years as a devoted MAGA activist, pundit and podcaster. He left the movement in 2022 after becoming disillusioned with its extremism and negative impact on American democracy. Not content to simply walk away, Rich founded Leaving MAGA in 2024, a nonpartisan nonprofit organization. Through public speaking, writing, and media appearances, he works fervently to support those seeking a path out of radicalization. Rich refers to himself as a born-again human being, and he believes that empathy and understanding are necessary to reduce political polarization. He is the author of the recently released memoir One Betrayal Too Many: Why I Left MAGA, with a foreword by former U.S. Representative Adam Kinzinger.
One Betrayal Too Many: Why I Left MAGA shows how intelligent, well-intentioned people can be drawn into political movements – and how they
can find their way out. The book is also for the tens of millions of Americans with friends or loved ones in MAGA. In addition to his own candid story, Rich includes the testimonials of six others who left the movement, demonstrating that there is no such thing as a stereotypical MAGA American.

His website is www.LeavingMAGA.org

Interrogating Silence: A Night with Tennessee Watson
2026-04-24 18:30 - 19:30 | The Denver Press Club, 1330 Glenarm Pl, Denver, CO, 80204, United States
In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, audio documentarian Tennessee Watson joins the Denver Press Club on Friday, April 24 at 6:30 p.m. in this discussion presented by ColoRadio and Colorado Press Women.
It’s the 10th anniversary of Watson’s Peabody-nominated documentary series “Silent Evidence,” produced as a season of the Heart podcast. In “Silent Evidence,” Watson confronts her childhood sexual abuser, documenting her decades-long journey to going public, and her experience with the criminal justice system, all the while asking larger questions that still feel relevant today: Why do survivors stay silent? Does silence protect survivors, or does it do harm?
Watson joins us to discuss her behind-the-scenes process of reporting “Silent Evidence,” as well as how journalists can holistically center the stories of survivors when reporting on sexual abuse.

TICKETS HERE!

About the speakers:
Based in Laramie, Wyoming, Watson is the managing editor for WyoFile. An award-winning journalist, Watson’s work has appeared on NPR, Reveal, the Heart and the Modern West. She will be joined in conversation by Esther Honig, independent journalist and StoryCorps producer.
