And that is where the magic of Rachel Farha comes into play. As Executive Producer, Rachel (pictured below with Kyle) thoughtfully curates a panel of Insiders whose backgrounds, perspectives and expertise elevate our show. Continue reading

Everyone seems to be talking about how long this month of January has felt… and I agree! I think it’s because it’s been an emotional month for our country with a deadly terrorist attack, catastrophic wildfires and a horrific mid-air collision.

This certainly was a “history in the making” kind of week with the second inauguration of President Donald Trump, and in the first 24 hours of new term, the political shift was impacting Colorado. Our state joined 17 other states in a lawsuit against an executive order to ban birthright citizenship. The Department of Justice called out Denver’s Mayor Continue reading

This week, there’s a lot of focus on what’s happening outside of Colorado with Israel and Hamas involved in serious ceasefire talks, the destructive and deadly fires continuing in Southern California, and the transition of power in Washington DC.

This week, our attention was drawn to both coasts: the deadly fires that are devastating Southern California communities and the State Funeral for 39th President of the United States, Jimmy Carter, in Washington, D.C. But, it was also a big week in Colorado Continue reading

Usually during the week between Christmas and New Year’s, there are a lot of “slow news days,” and published content is lighter in nature. That is certainly not the case this year! Sunday, December 29th brought the death of Former President Jimmy Carter. Days later, there was the deadly truck attack in New Orleans as well as the death of a Colorado Springs Army Sergeant inside a Cybertruck Continue reading

We are ringing in 2025 with a fabulously decorated set (thanks to our crew!), party hats, noise makers and of course, sparkling cider for the last Colorado Inside Out of 2024. I put our Insider panel to the test, asking each of them to choose the Colorado Person of the Year, Continue reading

When trying to come up with topics to discuss each week on Colorado Inside Out, I look to all sorts of news sources, talk with our panelists and, as is the case this week, listen to my 19-year-old daughter, Eliza. She is a sports genius who texted me the breaking news about Denver in exclusive talks about getting a professional women’s soccer league expansion. Continue reading

In a week when we’re learning economic activity is slower in Colorado than recent years, generosity remains very high. An impressive $54.6 million was donated in the course of 24 hours on December 10th – Colorado Gives Day. More than 4,000 non-profits benefited from the annual day of giving, including PBS12! Thank you for supporting our work! Continue reading

After this week’s taping of Colorado Inside Out, Patty leaned over to me and said, “you don’t get to talk through things all week and it’s great we can come here and get to do all of this.” That’s so true! Continue reading
