About this listen

Colorado lawmakers want to make it easier for you to get vaccinated — even if that means stepping away from CDC guidelines. Then, as psychedelics gain mainstream traction, some of the biggest voices in the field gather in Colorado to chart the future. Plus, we remember a music legend whose roots run deep in Colorado. And: what happens when hundreds of people named Ryan all meet in one place?


This episode of Colorado Today is hosted by Arlo Pérez Esquivel and Bazi Kanani. It’s edited and produced by Jo Erickson, Mateo Schimpf, and Stephanie Wolf. The executive producer is Rachel Estabrook. Theme music by Pedro Lumbraño.
