2022 Election Guide

2022 Election Guide

Every year, Yellow Scene Magazine publishes an exhaustive Election Guide. Because we are “old-school” and still believe journalism is important, we do not allow email interviews and require a 15-minute call with each candidate. They are all asked the same 6 questions our Editorial Board outlined at the start.

Over the course of nearly two hours, we talked to Adams about being a storyteller, the incredible success of his Dry Bar Comedy video that went viral in 2018, and what it was like playing “the most racist city in the United States” as a Black man…

Holding our breath for the midterms | Duly Noted

Pins and needles. That’s probably the best way to frame how most Americans are feeling in the run-up to the midterms, taking place on Nov. 8, 2022.

The Heroes: Stages of Boulder County

As we continue our Heroes series, we turn this month to our stages. We spoke to 9 representatives from vastly different kinds of venues.

Telehealth For The Win! | Health

2022 is a year of telehealth and technology. There has been and will continue to be a surge in health wearables to track blood pressure, blood sugar, mood, physical activity, and even tone of voice. In 2023, there will be more new ways to help manage disease and disability while promoting activity and ability. With all this data, what do we do with it, how do we use it, and where does it need to be relevant?
