Unclear Danger 1: Project Apple and the Wind

Welcome to the fourth season of Changing Denver. It’s going to be
a season-long series all on one topic. We’re calling it Unclear
Danger: The Colorado Story of Rocky Flats.


We’re proud to present this whole season in partnership with the
Colorado Independent and the Denver Public Library.

Next Week:


We are hosting a panel, titled “Remembering Rocky Flats,” at the
Denver Public Library on April 7. Three Rocky Flats
historians—Len Ackland, Dorothy Ciarlo, and Murph
Widdowfield—will be sharing their stories and unique perspectives
on the Rocky Flats story. Find us on the 7th floor of the
library’s central branch at 2 pm.


Recording this kind of thing can be hit-or-miss, so come out on
the 7th to make sure you hear what these three have to say.
