MEET MADDIE RHODES

A little bit about me

I'm currently a digital producer for FOX31 local news in Denver, however, my reach goes far beyond Colorado. While managing a team of 10 writers, I produce nationally shared stories that reach millions of viewers.

I'm known for evergreen stories that have been shared to The Hill, NewsNation and several other major outlets. I was named one of the top performers in Nexstar, which has more than 200 stations, and present my best practices annually to the company.

On my portfolio, you'll find stories with anything from a haunted apartment for rent to some of the biggest breaking news in Colorado. But there are a few things you won't find in here. 

So let me informally introduce myself...

Beyond the byline: Who is Maddie Rhodes?

I'm a world traveler. I've done everything from white water rafting in a Montana rainstorm to getting lost in a remote cave in Greece.

I'm a major foodie and a proud Yelp Elite. If there are tapas or anything with a lavender cocktail, I'm there. One odd thing I always look for is an interesting bathroom. Doesn't have to go with the restaurant, but I'm a sucker for a completely unexpected bathroom.

I'm also into fashion. My closet is the first place my friends raid and to me, getting ready is the best part of going out. I have my own brand, Love, Maddie, where I sell preloved clothes. I try to keep up with the latest trends without creating extra waste. My biggest fashion faux paw? People wearing name brands just because they're expensive.

Meet Glizzilla: The nearly 2 foot viral hot dog at Coors Field

DENVER (KDVR) — It’s 1 pound, nearly 2 feet long and takes both hands to carry, and no, it’s not a small dog. It’s known as the Glizzilla, the newest addition to the Coors Field menu.


The Glizzilla is an extra long hot dog you can order at a Colorado Rockies game. Think of it like a glizzy on sterioids, except this all-beef hot dog is completely legal — it just might give you a stomach ache.
