Show Notes
Colorado’s latest wildlife debate centers on fur trapping, where unlike big game hunting, trappers don’t have to report how many animals they take. Then, what a super-deep drilling experiment in Weld County might say about the energy future in Colorado. Plus, we visit a very unusual office party, thrown by artists with an unusual vision for Denver’s empty highrises.
