Should Colorado Legalize Prostitution? Plus, Erewhon Rumors in RiNo and Is Denver Done With Flock?

A new bill at the state legislature has got Denverites talking — is it time for Colorado to decriminalize prostitution? Poet Suzi Q. Smith joins host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to look at precedents in Maine and Nevada, and some of the arguments against. Plus, we saw some rumors that the fancy grocery chain Erewhon might be opening in RiNo, the mayor seems to be reconsidering Flock, and we all watched the newly Oscar-nominated documentary about former Colorado poet laureate Andrea Gibson, “Come See Me In the Good Light.”

Bree mentioned this Meow Wolf/Casa Bonita prank from 2021.
