Dec. 8, 2025: The story of DIA’s signature tent roof; Books to enjoy or give for the holidays

The story of the tent-like roof at Denver International Airport begins with two architects in a downtown Denver bar. One of the architects, Jim Bradburn, recently died just as the airport turned 30. Today, we hear behind the scenes stories from his collaborator, Curt Fentress. Then, US United hopes to change the culture of divisiveness ahead of National Unity Day on Saturday. Plus, books to enjoy this holiday season, or to give as gifts. And Colorado centenarian Howard Berger celebrates 102!

Dec. 8, 2025: Big drug busts in Colorado, debate over trans athletes, and a moose-sized environmental question

olorado law enforcement is seizing unusually large amounts of illegal drugs, and investigators say the state’s own infrastructure helps explain why traffickers route shipments here. Then, we have an update on the ongoing debate over how Colorado high schools should handle transgender athletes, a discussion playing out without statewide data. And for Colorado Wonders, we dig into how much impact Colorado’s hungriest residents, the moose, have on their environment.
