Welcome to "The Aaron Harber Show."  We always strive to make the program lively, fun, informative, humorous, and entertaining (well, at least some of the time). Our show is broadcast Tuesday evenings at 8:00 pm and Wednesday afternoons at 5:00 pm Mountain Time on Colorado Public Television, KBDI-TV Channel 12 in Denver, with simultaneous broadcasts in Boulder, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Greeley, Pueblo, and other communities across the State of Colorado. If you want to find out in advance about upcoming programs, sign up for our e-mail notification list and we will send you information in advance of each broadcast or just go to the "Next Show" section of this Website.

You also can view past programs via the Web from any location in the world and even watch shows before they are broadcast on TV. Just go to "Broadcast Videos" and select the program you would like to see. If the broadcast date listed is in the future that means you are watching the program in advance of its actual broadcast.

Most importantly, we want to hear from you. Send us your comments about the show (we want to hear about the good, the bad, and the ugly), about yours truly (I'm tough, so don't be shy), how well the Broadcast Video option works for you (we need to know about any problems you have accessing or viewing the shows online), and about this Web site (we want to make it better). You can critique a specific program or the show in general. Tell us topics you want us to address and guests you'd like to see on the show.

Remember, "The Aaron Harber Show" is your show.   My job is to identify the topics which interest you, corral the guests you want to see, and ask them the tough questions you would ask if you were on the show yourself. But I need your help if I am to know what you would like to see on the show so send me an e-mail and give me your ideas. Thanks for watching and for participating! I really appreciate it.

Aaron Harber
