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
- What happens to the right to a speedy trial when the court system is shut down during a pandemic? Can testing every last person in a small Western Colorado county yield new insights into the spread of coronavirus? What will life in Colorado look like the day after the "stay home" order lifts? And how much, really, will lawmakers actually try to push through once they're allowed back in the state capitol? Hosts Bente Birkeland and Andrew Kenney tackle those questions and more with CPR's Justice reporter, Allison Sherry.
