CPW Posts Informative Podcast Series

POSTED BY
Linda

Colorado Parks and Wildlife launched its new podcast on Monday, titled Colorado Outdoors, with Director Dan Prenzlow giving a state of the union type of address on Colorado’s great outdoors in the introductory episode.

The podcast provides a new avenue for CPW to tell the story of the agency to both the residents of Colorado and those who come here to enjoy all the natural resources this fine state has to offer.

You can find the podcast on your favorite listening platforms, such as:

iHeart Media
Spotify
Apple/iTunes
Google Podcasts
Stitcher
Radio Public
TuneIn
NPROne
Pandora
Amazon Music and Audible

The vision of this podcast is designed to share the work taking place in the agency on all levels – parks, wildlife, trails, outdoor recreation, safety, natural resources, research, biology, energy and more. It will also give the agency a communications tool to share information on hot and pressing topics – why outdoor recreation is still important during COVID-19, respond to animal attacks, address issues taking place at state parks like the Eldorado Canyon with its Visitor Use Management Planning process. It will have the flexibility to both educate and respond to questions on the actions that the agency takes.

The podcast is powered by Great Outdoors Colorado. Art19 is the host platform and people can also find the podcast online at https://art19.com/shows/colorado-outdoors. Mark Johnson is the on-air host, interviewing our subject matter experts.
