Soundprint: The Sit 'n' Bull Saloon on Christmas Day. Recorded by Rae Solomon.

For us here at Range & Slope HQ, it’s been a year of exploration and discovery. Since we launched the show in July, each of the three of us has produced two stories. Rae gave us a look inside Denver’s tiny home village and local journalism crisis. I found my way to the edge of a nuclear-reactor sized hole and talked A LOT about regional pizza styles.

Back in September, Matthew told us a story about a man and a sporting goods sale. And now he’s back with something completely different. This time on the show, he brings us a story that took him on a journey to the far reaches of the state. This is "Collecting in Good Faith."
