What should I wear to the RELAUNCH BLAST-OFF?

The most important question, obvi. We’re leaning all the way in to our blast-off theme, as we prepare to reach worldwide (and beyond!) with our 24/7 broadcast. So, wear your glammiest outer-spacey metallicy astronauty ‘fit!

…Is it futuristic? Wear it. …Is it shiny or sequins-y? Yes. …Does it light up? Hell yes.

Come as you are, of course! But if this inspiration motivates you, join us in the fashion stratosphere!

Colorado Radio for Justice is excited to be the first speaker in a new series at Denver Press Club, hosted and curated by the audio collective ColoRadio. Our past, present, and future work will be shared by our team: Herbert Alexander, Ryan Conarro, Tiffany McCoy, and Seth Ready.

ColoRadio says: Join us for our first event at the Denver Press Club. Our first guests are the team behind Colorado Radio for Justice, a new 24/7 streaming radio station by and for formerly incarcerated Coloradans. 

Colorado Radio for Justice emerges from the work of Inside Wire: Colorado Prison Radio, which for two years broadcast news, music and information to prisons all over the state and beyond. The CRJ team will join journalist Ann Marie Awad for a conversation about creating radio in an unexpected place and collaborating with people at different stages of the criminal justice system.
