Grateful for the über-talented people I work with. And there are so, so many, just getting amazing things done day in and day out. I was just browsing our website and there’s a ton of stories about so many issues! And they’re good stories, too 




Like this story from @AndyKnny about the surprising ways people are reacting to Prop EE (tobacco tax) https://www.cpr.org/2020/10/27/why-nicotine-taxes-are-making-strange-political-alliances-in-colorado/
Or this @samuelbrasch story on how Colorado’s record wildfires lately are a clear indication of climate change https://www.cpr.org/2020/10/26/colorados-fiery-october-is-a-climate-change-alarm-bell/
How about this story from @CPRNews’ new Arts and Culture reporter @mcastimovies on the ways the Denver Film Fest has adapted to the pandemic, and not all those adaptations are temporary https://www.cpr.org/2020/10/21/denver-film-festival-had-to-adapt-to-coronavirus-but-some-of-the-new-ideas-might-stick-around-for-future-years/
Listen to @CPRBrundin’s story (one of an incredible series) giving a teen’s optimistic perspective on the dumpster fire that is 2020 https://www.cpr.org/2020/10/23/everything-sucks-sometimes-but-its-not-forever-how-one-teen-navigates-mental-health-politic-environment-and-the-pandemic/
Speaking of a hellish year, @elenaiswriting has this piece about a program in El Paso Co. that exists to help people deal with the ~bad feels~ 2020 has wrought https://www.cpr.org/2020/10/15/coronavirus-pandemic-stress-el-paso-county-program-help-build-mental-health-resiliency/
You can’t talk pandemic coverage without mentioning @CODaleyNews. He’s been doing a lot of everything, like this story on what it’s like to be a health care worker at this point in the pandemic https://www.cpr.org/2020/10/09/colorado-coronavirus-cases-rise-effects-on-frontline-health-care-workers-mental-health/
Back on the topic of the wildfires —which are calming down thanks to the snow — @_msakas spoke to farmers and ranchers who have it all at stake as land burns https://www.cpr.org/2020/10/16/record-drought-is-putting-farmers-and-ranchers-on-the-front-line-of-climate-change/
Now for a breather: how about those fall leaves? @heyyhayhayley gave folks a heads up on how leaf peeping could go this year https://www.cpr.org/2020/09/02/colorados-fall-colors-expect-a-pretty-average-year-but-still-a-great-show/
Now I think @AnnAwad is a podcast master and the entire @OnSomethingPod team is talented as hell. Every episode rules in different ways. If you listen to any episode this season, I recommend this one: https://onsomething.org/2020/09/08/episode-15-at-war-with-the-war-on-drugs/
I’m also really impressed with the transportation stories @nbminor is bringing to our audience. A lot of people rely on public transpo for various aspects of life. Here’s one of his stories on how the pandemic is affecting some of those folks https://www.cpr.org/2020/10/01/for-workers-dependent-on-transit-rtd-service-cuts-are-making-an-already-difficult-economic-situation-even-more-challenging/
COVID cases in CO are worsening, and CPR is keeping track of every development. So don’t you dare forget that there are people behind those stories too, grinding every day, like @ClevelandClaire https://www.cpr.org/2020/10/27/six-counties-move-to-tighter-restrictions-as-coronavirus-cases-rise/
I’m missing a bunch of people (big newsroom, yay!) but that doesn’t mean you should gloss over their work. You can find an endless supply of information, narratives and lighthearted breaks at http://cpr.org . Again, this newsroom is full of sheer talent and drive.
