Production of eight episodes of the “Lost Highways” podcast on Colorado and Western history.

History Colorado respectfully requests $309,887 from the National Endowment for the Humanities to support the production of Season 5 of Lost Highways: Dispatches from the Shadows of the Rocky Mountains, a podcast about the overlooked history of the Rocky Mountain West. The season will consist of eight engaging episodes grounded in historical research and personal narratives. Lost Highways tells relevant, diverse, and under-told stories about Colorado and the West and their impact on the nation. Drawing upon the vast History Colorado Collection—particularly oral histories and other audio resources—and augmenting our holdings with new interviews and recordings, our hosts share stories via tightly constructed, professional narratives.
