July 25, 2025: Public money for new Broncos stadium, disability rights, music inspired by paramedic work

Denver considers using $140 million dollars to fix some roads. But is this proposal really about getting a new stadium to keep the Broncos in Denver, and out of the suburbs? Then, Coloradans with disabilities reflect on the landmark rights law signed 35 years ago this weekend, and what they’re fighting for today. Plus, a Colorado musician got a new job saving lives. Now, you can hear him sing about it. This episode of Colorado Today is hosted by Bazi Kanani. It’s edited and produced by Mateo Schimpf, Stephanie Wolf and Kiara DeMare.
