BUILDING MOMENTUM: RENOVATED NEWSROOM PAVES THE WAY FOR MORE COLORADO COVERAGE

Colorado Public Radio recently completed major renovations to its Centennial headquarters, including an expanded newsroom that brings together reporters, hosts and editors in a cohesive, open-concept space.

The updated work area is designed to facilitate collaboration and make room for future growth—enabling CPR to provide even more in-depth news to inform and enlighten the Colorado community. CPR’s continued expansion is made possible thanks to the support of listeners, businesses and foundations that provide more than 90 percent of CPR’s funding.

Watch this time-lapse video to see the newsroom’s transformation.

CPR Classical’s “SummerFest” concert series wraps up on Aug. 17 at 4 p.m. with a live broadcast from the Aspen Music Festival. Music Director Robert Spano will conduct the performance, featuring the music of Beethoven, Arvo Pärt and Mussorgsky.

Every summer, CPR Classical brings you live broadcasts, interviews and stories from the top classical music festivals from around the state, including Central City Opera, Bravo! Vail and the Colorado Music Festival.

MEET HEALTH REPORTER JOHN DALEY

Award-winning journalist John Daley recently joined CPR News as heath reporter. John hails from Salt Lake City, Utah, where he gained more than a decade of experience as a beat and investigative reporter covering stories for print, web, television and radio.

While John is a relative newcomer to public radio, he’s no stranger to CPR. John has been a freelance contributor for the past year, and will now exclusively cover health issues.

“Health is an issue that truly impacts everyone, so it’s more important than ever to provide thorough coverage that’s understandable and accessible,” says John. “I look forward to exploring all the important health issues at play here in Colorado and uncovering stories that add to both the local and national health dialogue.”

Inside the CPR Performance Studio with OpenAir artists

Before many local and national musicians take the stage at venues across the state, they often stop by OpenAir to talk with hosts and record in the CPR Performance Studio.

With OpenAir’s exclusive videos of these sessions, hundreds of bands have found the CPR Performance Studio to be an intimate place to share their music and connect with the Colorado community on a personal level.

Artists who’ve visited so far this summer include Strange Americans, SHEL and Natalie Tate. You can find exclusive videos of these performances and view the full archive at openaircpr.org.

The “Colorado Matters” series of author interviews at the Tattered Cover continues this month as Denver-based author Helen Thorpe talks with host Ryan Warner about her new book, “Soldier Girls: The Battles of Three Women at Home and at War.” Set over the course of 12 years, the story follows the lives of three women and their military and domestic experiences.

The event begins at 7 p.m., with limited seating available on a first-come-first-served basis. See details at Tatteredcover.com.
