This week on the Regional Roundup, we hear a report on the growing outdoor recreation economy, a look at an abortion doula program supporting patients in Western Colorado, and a feature on youth activists rallying at the Utah legislature in support of efforts to save the Great Salt Lake. The show also features a story about a new mobile food bank serving rural communities in Colorado, and explores free speech and censorship: from a Durango bookstore’s lawsuit to block police from accessing a customer’s book purchase records, to a conversation with a Colorado librarian featured in the documentary The Librarians, which examines the rise of book bans and challenges to libraries. Tune into the Regional Roundup on KDNK.org every Thursday at 4:30 pm.
