    100 years of high-altitude science at CU Boulder’s Mountain Research Station

    July 3, 2026 Today, we’re taking a trip to CU Boulder’s Mountain Research Station. This little plot of land in the Indian Peaks Wilderness operated by CU’s Institute for Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR) is one of the longest running high elevation research centers in the world. This summer, they’re celebrating 100 plus years of groundbreaking research by opening its doors to the public.  First, we'll hear from INSTAAR on the history of the Mountain Research Station. After that, we meet two scientists with upcoming public seminars at the station who are doing groundbreaking research that could soon influence your local community, including: Why generative AI can actually be helpful for conservationThe intersection of snowmelt, sunlight and long-wave radiationCheck out the full schedule of seminar speakers here: colorado.edu/mrs/current-events/summer-seminar-series Learn more about INSTAAR's 75th anniversary and sign up for alerts here: colorado.edu/instaar/about-instaar/75th-anniversary Thank you to Tyler Hickman at The Mountain-Ear for putting this together Next week What’s coming up --------------------------- Produced by BVHz in partnership with The Mountain Ear Independent, local journalism for Boulder County Our team Journalist + producer: Shay Castle Audio producer + music: Kelly Garry Additional support provided by Jeff Rozic and Tyler Hickman *Find bonus content and support us on Patreon

    Why one local Dem is leaving the party after 50 years

    June 26, 2026 “ I have been integrally involved in the Democratic Party for 54 years. And I am no longer a Democrat.” So starts the conversation with Pete Salas, a lifelong, active member of the party that, for years, has dominated Boulder County and recently has come to control much of the state. In this unfiltered interview, Salas provides an inside look at party politics, describes the growing discontent that led him to finally leave the party, and shares his hopes for the future of a state and county where the majority of voters are unaffiliated.

    Ben Sooy wants to set the world on fire: On Holy Fool, mutual aid and local music

    June 19, 2026 In honor of our interview with music writer Grayson Haver Currin we’re taking a look at the world of local music. Ben Sooy is the founder of Holy Fool, a nonprofit helping small, local musicians on the Front Range. Holy Fool is pretty new; less than a couple years old. They are the nonprofit sponsor for Blucifer’s First Rodeo, a DIY music festival coming to Denver next month. Ben’s band, A Place for Owls, is also performing at the fest. I conducted this interview a while ago, and wrote about Holy Fool for the March issue of Caribou Current. So much good stuff got left out of that article. I’m stoked to be able to bring you more of my chat with Ben. One musician I interviewed, Elle Tyler, called Ben a thin place. “People like that, when you’re in their presence, there’s something more than just what the mortal eye can see,” Tyler said. “In a thin place, the distance between the physical and spiritual world, that distance can become very thin. You feel you’re part of something bigger.” After the interview, we feature “Tenderness,” a new song from Mercy Club, a local six-piece band that has received support from Holy Fool. I interviewed member Darren Thornberry for the Caribou Current article. Thanks for listening!  --------------------------- Produced by BVHz in partnership with The Mountain Ear Independent, local journalism for Boulder County Our team Journalist + producer: Shay Castle Audio producer + music: Kelly Garry Additional support provided by Jeff Rozic and Tyler Hickman *Find bonus content and support us on Patreon
