- Ballots for the Denver election hit the mail earlier this week; among the key races voters will decide on is mayor -- a position that will impact well beyond city limits. Seven of the mayoral candidates took part in a forum hosted by our sister publication, Denverite. It was produced with the help of non-profits focused on under-served communities.
- Housing, crime, mental health, and equity. All those topics were on the table Tuesday night at a Denver mayoral forum hosted by Denverite with input from non-profits that serve marginalized communities. Altogether, seven of the candidates took part. This excerpt is focused on crime and improving public safety while avoiding over-policing.
- For Veterans Day, we recognize the skiing soldiers of World War II. Members of the 10th Mountain Division trained at Camp Hale in Leadville. In October, President Biden declared it a national monument. These troops fought to take Mt. Belvedere, in Italy's Apennine Mountains. And their victory was a turning point in the war. Producer Joe Richman, of Radio Diaries, brings us their story.
- On this Election Day, we talk about civil discourse. It means having a conversation with people of different viewpoints to broaden understanding. The University of Denver and the Korbel School of International Studies recently gathered experts from four think tanks for "Denver Dialogues" to talk about the challenges, opportunities, and importance of engaging in civil discourse.
- Mid-to-late October is when we usually see the first snow in Denver. Last year, the first measurable snowfall didn't happen until December, which, by the way, is the latest "first'' snowfall on record. We get perspective on weather and climate now in our regular conversation with Denver7 chief meteorologist Mike Nelson.
