Purplish is CPR News' weekly podcast about state politics, state government, Colorado policy, and political identity. This season the show is hosted by public affairs reporters Bente Birkeland, Caitlyn Kim and Andrew Kenney. Each week ahead of (and even a bit after) the 2020 election, they'll break down the latest developments in the races and on the ground, look ahead to what's next, and dive into the bigger picture of what it all means for our not-red, not-blue, still pretty purple state.


Latest Episodes
- It's political gospel that to win a campaign, you've got to reach individual voters, the more directly the better. So how are campaigns adapting their techniques to meet the challenges of the pandemic? Plus, there's about to be a giant Supreme Court nomination fight in Washington. Do Colorado voters care?
- Some people worry the rapid move to mail ballots nationally is inviting massive fraud. Others fear postal slowdowns could sabotage the whole system. The Purplish team takes a local look at the reality behind the fears here in Colorado, a state with a long-running tradition of universal mail ballots.
