Roll through the radio dial, and you're sure to hear a glut of pontificating aggro men using their radio shows to bully guests and mold the world as they see fit. And then you stumble across Ryan Warner's soothing voice on Colorado Public Radio's Colorado Matters, and you get a model for how much better discourse could be. Warner approaches his guests — nearly always fascinating picks — with empathy, respect and a sense of humor. He doesn't shy away from asking tough questions, but he's no bully. And he handles some of the most important — but not always biggest — stories in our state with the generosity they deserve.
