Tom Tancredo wants peace. The former congressman, who’s again running for governor, has asked Republican candidates in the 2014 gubernatorial primary to refrain from criticizing each other. Tancredo suggests the Republican candidates reserve any criticism for incumbent Governor John Hickenlooper. We wanted some perspective on this so we asked Steven Hayward to join us. He’s the new Visiting Professor in Conservative Thought at CU-Boulder. Hayward spoke with Ryan Warner.

Q &amp; AWhy I became a journalist: I have always been fascinated by people and their unique experiences, and I love the news. So, it was a perfect fit. I grew up in a political family, and we always talked about issues and politics at the dinner table. But I never wanted to work in politics – I always preferred understanding issues from different perspectives. I think the most powerful stories are the ones told by those who are affected, whether it be health care reform, welfare, education, justice issues or the economy. And, I enjoy telling those stories. Why I got into radio: While I was in journalism school, I was offered the chance to help out at WBAI – a public radio station in New York City. I had written a story for school on Amerasian children who moved here from Vietnam after the war. The folks at WBAI let me turn it into a radio story – and I was hooked. I liked it better than print because radio adds a special texture to a story. And I preferred radio to television because I think people being interviewed are more honest when they talk into a microphone, rather than a camera. How I ended up at CPR: I was newly married, and my husband wanted to move to the mountains. At the time, I was at National Public Radio in Washington, D.C. We moved to Denver, and I began talking to people at Colorado Public Radio. It was really the only place I wanted to work – and the rest is history.
