Host Ryan Warner News Today

Music, memories and merriment return with the 8th annual Colorado Matters Holiday Extravaganza.

As boaters are buoyed by a bounty on the Dolores River, we share the Utes' long fight for water access in the Four Corners. Then, "Science of Happiness" is a new course at CU-Boulder. And Colorado Matters Sr. Host Ryan Warner reads from his coded teenage journals at "Mortified."

Conductor Kedrick Armstrong learned the University of Colorado Boulder hosts a collection of classical music written by Black women. Many of the pieces have never been performed publicly. The Helen Walker-Hill Collection is why Armstrong chose to do his graduate work at CU. He speaks with Sr. Host Ryan Warner about the archive, and his own musical journey.
