From May 4th: On this week's edition of the Regional Roundup: The city of Durango has proclaimed April 19, 2026 as Ross Anderson Day, marking twenty years since the Native American speed skier set a U.S. speed-skiing record of 154.06 miles per hour.
We’ll also hear from a researcher working in Bears Ears who is turning to crowdfunding to continue his work after losing a federal grant. Then, we head to Utah, where students at the University of Utah are building community through the student Drag Club. And we close the show with a conversation with Aspen Public Radio Executive Director Breeze Anderson who talks about a recent lawsuit involving Aspen Public Radio, KSUT, and CPR. The stations challenged an executive order from President Trump that cut funding to NPR and PBS. In March, a federal judge ruled in favor of the stations.
