Morin wrote songs inspired by the paintings of C.M. Russell, revered for his iconic images of the American West. Morin explains how the album came to life on KUNC's In The NoCo.

KUNC columnist Peter Moore spotted a couple gray wolves in Colorado last February while on a birding trip. Amid the controversy over reintroducing wolves to the state this month, the encounter got Moore thinking about what's at stake. https://buff.ly/47Z0CN0

Vanished civilizations are fascinating. Unless, of course, you happen to belong to a civilization that might vanish...in which case you'd want to run for the hills.
That’s just what KUNC columnist Peter Moore did last month when he packed up his car for a trip from Fort Collins to Mesa Verde to see the eclipse. Along the way, Moore muses on the fate of our world while visiting everything from a pit stop gas station to ancient cliff dwellings. https://buff.ly/46lyUZs

Today we are sharing Episode 6 of Season 3, our last episode of the season. Today we turn to the town of Breckenridge where they are building a new neighborhood specifically for local workers. But with just 61-units for sale which residents will end up with a home? Plus, Summit County is partnering with the U.S. Forest Service on a first-of-its-kind housing development that’s been 60 years in the making.

In Episode 5 of The Colorado Dream: Housing Wanted, KUNC reporter Rae Solomon takes a closer look at Eagle County, where a school district has decided to invest in affordable housing as a way to retain staff.
Eagle County School District officials hope offering more affordable housing options to staff will keep high quality educators from moving out of the district.
But can the district build enough housing to meet the demand from staff? And can the district do it fast enough? Listen to the podcast, find photos, and read the digital story at https://buff.ly/3SmIjwx
Since the early days of her acting career, actress and CU Boulder educator Heather Kelley has heard no shortage of haunting tales about the theaters and venues where she’s performed. In The NoCo "Ghost" Erin O'Toole sat down with Kelley on this All Hallow’s Eve to unwrap that strange feeling some of us get when we spend time in old theaters and other storied spaces.
By the way, have you ever had a ghostly encounter? Tell us your tales, we'd love to hear!

In Episode 4 of The Colorado Dream:Housing Wanted, we turn our story to the town of Steamboat Springs. As @scott.franz says, Steamboat Springs has been loved to death.
When you stand on the banks of the Yampa River in downtown Steamboat Springs, it takes only a few seconds to understand why people are fighting so hard to live here. People floating on inner tubes scream with joy going down the river rapids as others fly fishing upstream try to land rainbow trout. Towering above them is Howelsen Hill, the oldest continuously operating ski area in North America and a gateway to dozens of hiking and biking trails.
But this mountain paradise is in such high demand, it’s been getting harder and harder to live here.

The spine of the Rocky Mountains is a benevolent presence hovering above the Front Range, reminding us every day what a beautiful place we live in. But it also carries ugly reminders of who we are. KUNC commentator Peter Moore took a drive up Mount Blue Sky, formerly known as Mount Evans, and learned a lesson, and a way forward.

Boulder counselor Kuthoomi Castro was part of an Indigenous-led protest at the MAPS Psychedelic Science Conference held in Denver this summer. Castro points out that Indigenous people have long been the facilitators of plant-based medicines and should have more seats at the table as Colorado implements a new law legalizing plant medicines like psilocybin and mescaline. https://buff.ly/3Zjg435
