More than half of Colorado’s known measles cases started on an airplane from Turkey. What that teaches us about its rapid spread. Then, new charges are announced against the man accused in the firebombing attack in Boulder. Plus, a clothing company challenges the state’s new law to protect trans rights. And, a new Puerto Rican festival debuts in Lakewood this weekend.

This episode of Colorado Today is hosted by Bazi Kanani. It’s edited and produced by Jo Erickson, Mateo Schimpf, and Stephanie Wolf. The executive producer is Rachel Estabrook. Theme music by Pedro Lumbraño.
