Episode Description
It’s hard to drive very far on the Front Range without having your license plate scanned by an automated camera. But in the face of privacy concerns and fears the data could be used for immigration enforcement, lawmakers may set new limits on their use. Then, an undulating sign made from nearly a thousand LED light poles greets drivers on their way to DIA — but the display is costly — and troubled. And Denver comedian Josh Blue has a new memoir, Something To Stare At.
