A note from Seth as he packs for Vienna:
Hi, listeners and collaborators and friends. As you may know, each of us at CRJ juggles other work. Me? When I'm not doing radio, I'm setting tile... but it's safe to say that when I'm doing tile, I'm thinking about CRJ!
I got a pretty surprising email last weekend from the United Nations. (Mind blown!) They've requested me to attend a 3-day working group / symposium in Vienna next week, where I'll contribute both an audio perspective and a lived-experience perspective to a new global handbook on technological access for incarcerated people across the world. I cannot wait to share this experience with y'all!
You'll learn more about this, and other big news, in today's newsletter:
✏️ Contribute your story to the U.N. Working Group on Technology in Prisons
🖥️ Sign up for Audio Production 101 Workshops with CRJ
🎵 New partnership with Denver Philharmonic Orchestra
🔊 ...& more!
Thanks for reading - and for listening (which you can do 24/7, right here!).
...Okay: off to Tile-ville!
-Seth Ready, CRJ Co-Director

This Monday November 10, the United Nations Office on Drugs & Crime kicks off an Expert Group Meeting in Vienna, Austria, to create a handbook of values for the use of technology in prisons. This handbook will become a guiding document for correctional systems across the globe. This is all part of the U.N.'s 2025 Year of Action on Penal Reform.
The U.N. has invited Colorado Radio for Justice Co-Director Seth Ready to attend this meeting as a delegate / advisor representing the United States. Do you have experiences or perspectives on technology in prison? Please share your perspectives and story with us at CRJ, so that Seth may bring those contributions to Vienna! Share your story in our 10-minute survey, by clicking the button to the left.
Big thanks to our friends at Prison Radio International, for recommending Seth and CRJ for this U.N. convening!

When you tune in to CRJ this Sunday morning, you'll hear something new & exciting: CRESCENDO COLORADO, our new weekly classical music show. It's our new partnership with Denver Philharmonic Orchestra. Each Sunday at 8am MT (and reprising at 8pm), we'll broadcast a past Philharmonic concert from DPO's archives, live-recorded in Denver. This Sunday, CRESCENDO COLORADO takes us back to November 2013, when the DPO performed at KPOF Hall for their concert "Inauspicious Beginnings." Conductor Lawrence Golan leads the orchestra with James Buswell on solo violin. The program features Beethoven's Fidelio Overture, Barber's Violin Concerto, and Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 in E Minor.

This week we've got a new episode of UNLOCKING CHANGE: Part 2 of a two-part conversation with Emma Mclean-Riggs, Senior Staff Attorney from the ACLU of Colorado, who sits down with Colorado Radio for Justice hosts Tiffany McCoy and Trevor Jones. Emma examines the criminalization of poverty and homelessness in Colorado communities; the ACLU's work of not just improving incarcerated people's lives inside facilities, but striving to liberate them; and an exploration of what exactly "civil liberties" themselves are. Catch it on our radio broadcast... on YouTube... and wherever you get your podcasts. (And hey, if you missed Part 1 of this interview, give it a watch/listen, too! It's an urgent discussion about immigration justice in Colorado today.)

Emma Mclean-Riggs, Senior Staff Attorney at ACLU of Colorado, in this week's episode of UNLOCKING CHANGE:
So when I think about the world that is possible, I of course have some ideas about how that's gonna look... [But] I really rely on folks like y'all and also folks like our youth, the folks coming up behind us to sort of lead the way to, to what is the better world and what is the better world gonna look like? Both because I think I don't have the lived experience to do it, but if I'm totally honest, I don't think any of us have the lived experience to do it by ourselves. I think we all sort of need each other to build what that's gonna look like.
