    Tainted gas update, can Denver outlaw ICE masks, wolverine reintroduction plan, Bob Weir’s Colorado school days

    The wrong audio file for today's episode was originally uploaded. The correct audio is available now, but if you downloaded the episode, you may need to remove it and download again. There’s new information about the dozens of gas stations — and hundreds of drivers — affected by last week’s diesel fuel contamination. Plus, Denver may move to ban law enforcement from concealing their identities behind masks, while Aurora’s newly liberal city council condemns ICE actions in their city, and around the country. Then, Colorado has a plan to bring back a species eradicated from Colorado a century ago: the wolverine. And finally, as Deadheads around the world share their stories about the late Bob Weir, we remember the time he came back to visit the Colorado high school that once kicked him out!

    Is Trump retaliating against Colorado? New federal vaccine schedule, Leetsdale fire update, Broncos adopted by anime fandom

    $300 million — that’s how much in public benefits the Trump administration says it will block from coming to Colorado, money that pays for child care subsidies, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families and other programs. Officials say they’re concerned about fraud, but Colorado’s leaders say the freeze is about punishment, not policy. Then, what do new federal vaccine guidelines for children mean for families here? And the playoff-bound Broncos have a new set of supporters cheering them on: fans of a Japanese anime franchise about… horse-girls. If you’re enjoying Colorado Today, please leave us a review.
