Who Needs Air Conditioning? Plus, Canceling Buffalo Bill and Spotting Wolf Pups

It’s Friday, and we’re rounding up the biggest stories of the week. First, DPS students returned to hot, sweaty classrooms this week as 29 Denver public schools are still without air conditioning. DPS leaders have a plan to help, but is anyone asking the right questions about the cost of a cool, consistent 72°? Chalkbeat Colorado bureau chief Melanie Asmar and stand-up comedian Joshua Emerson join producer Paul Karolyi to talk A/C in DPS, as well as a new city-led reconsideration of historic Denverite William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody, and our Rocky Mountain Highs and Lows of the week. 

Paul mentioned the ALLCITY Network’s fundraising, REI’s recent stumbles, $5 cocktails, and this episode of The Daily about air conditioning. Joshua talked about Denver’s latest jobs report and wolf pups. Melanie discussed peaches on pizza and compost pick-ups expanding
