Episode Details

The history of Colorado and the West is the history of the Black cowboy; now it's inspired the play "Godspeed" which just had its world premiere in Denver. Plus, we visit a museum that shares an often untold and overlooked aspect of the history of the West. Also, about half of counties in Colorado do not have emergency shelters for people trying to leave abusive situations at home. We hear from a researcher who's mapped the state about what she found in the search for a solution. And later, for Aging Matters, we revisit a that pairs older volunteers, with older companions, leading to bonds of friendship and helpfulness as we age.
