Colorado Inside Out is recorded every Thursday afternoon ahead of its release online and the Friday night airing on PBS12. Sometimes, big news breaks after our show is “put to bed” that we wish we could’ve reacted to, and that happened this week with the U.S. Supreme Court issuing a slew of rulings to close out its session.

One of the things I appreciate most about Colorado Inside Out is that we have the time to devote to discussing important happenings and issues in our state. Every week, our panel comes to the table with different perspectives that offer context to the stories that surround us in our communities.

News never stops, right? After our Inside panel had left for the day, the political rumors that had been swirling around for a while came to be true.
