This Is Colorado

S2 E1 Avalanches and Prostitutes January


Listen Later

We tried to have a field trip and failed, so instead you get to learn about current avalanche survival tips and how prostitutes in the late 1800's and early 1900's lived and worked. Not suitable for work or kids, but information you won't want to miss!
