August 8, 2025: ICE shooting shows pattern, Colorado sued over gas stove law, Philharmonic makes historic hire


Listen Later

ICE agents fired at a car — then obscured details of what happened. How does this incident fit into the broader picture of shootings by federal immigration officers? Then, Colorado passed a law aimed at protecting people from the fumes released by gas cooktops, and was immediately sued, leaving the law in limbo. Plus, the Colorado Springs Philharmonic is making history with a new appointment. And, you have the chance to hear the talent of the Aspen Music Festival on the Front Range.

This episode of Colorado Today is hosted by Arlo Pérez Esquivel. It’s edited and produced by Mateo Schimpf. The executive producer is Rachel Estabrook. Theme music by Pedro Lumbraño.
