I produced today's new ep of @rangeandslope about a historical mystery I stumbled over last year. It turned into a story about how we tell our stories, and what it means when we can't. I hope you take the time to listen on a walk around your neighborhood

When Colorado voters rejected the 1976 Olympics, they gave cities new leverage to fix the Games. Can Denver now capitalize on a new wave of discontent? Or is it spitting in the wind? https://t.co/66IY84Okvh

The story misses the point a little too. This is about the end of Bear Mountain, a truly historic feature of the zoo. They recognize it is unfit for animals. But what should be done about the place?
This story will be no surprise to listeners of our season two finale, The Zoo and You, in which we tracked the cultural shifts that produced Hagenbeck-style enclosures like the Denver Zoo's Bear Mountain and the Wild Animal Sanctuary.

Key quote: "Brian Aucone, the zoo’s senior vice president of animal science, said the USDA inspections were not a tipping point in the zoo’s thinking"
I.e., the zoo knows it must respond to changes in its target audience's feelings about animal welfare if it is to survive.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
If you're looking for something fun to talk about with the family today, we recommend the most recent episode of the @SAPIENS_org podcast. It's an interview with @carlzimmer about identity, heredity, family, and DNA.

Denver's curfew program used to ticked thousands and thousands of kids per year. Today, it's much smaller. And as it's shrunk, it's focused much more tightly on Latino neighborhoods. https://t.co/JuSjnLWBDG
