    May 29, 2026: Longing was her lover

    It stung to hear. Amanda McCracken’s therapist told her, “longing is your lover.” This followed decades of dates, flings, and fantasies, but no committed relationship. The Boulder journalist turned her search for a solution into a cottage industry. She has a podcast called “The Longing Lab.” She did a popular TED Talk. And her new book is “When Longing Becomes Your Lover.”

    May 28, 2026: Finding a fix for Colorado's broken child care system

    Finding affordable child care is a major challenge for many parents, and it's especially true for essential workers on 12 or 48 hour shifts. The system isn’t built for them. That's just one reason CPR News has launched a new series, "Raising Colorado: The untold costs of a broken child care system." It's led by CPR education reporter Jenny Brundin and we're featuring her work today, taking a deeper dive into what's happening. She shares the story of firefighter James Ferraro and his wife Chelsea, a nurse. They're trying to balance work and two young kids with no family in town. Jenny also speaks with Denver-based author Elliot Haspel author of "Raising a Nation: 10 Reasons Every American has a Stake in Child Care for All."
