Explore Colorado's geography, history, music, and food with Rick K. Jones. From the eastern plains to the Rocky Mountains, this episode traces the forces that shaped the state—from Native American history and the mining boom to ski culture and Colorado's evolving identity. Then it's time to eat. Rick highlights Palisade peaches, sweet corn, Pueblo chiles, the Denver omelet, Coors beer, and the storied Buckhorn Exchange—including the dish that may make some listeners squirm: Rocky Mountain oysters. Along the way, he shares personal stories and recommendations for memorable Colorado stops.
