The Planned Parenthood Clinic in Denver.

Planned Parenthood tells thousands of people it can’t legally serve them anymore. We’ll explain why, and what that means for patients. Then, instead of saving a life, a paramedic in Boulder is charged with manslaughter. Plus, we remember Colorado’s most prominent poet, Andrea Gibson, who died yesterday. And if you see smoke, it may be from wildfires throughout the region.

This episode of Colorado Today is hosted by Arlo Pérez Esquivel. It’s edited and produced by Jo Erickson and Mateo Schimpf. The executive producer is Rachel Estabrook. Theme music by Pedro Lumbraño.
