A box containing doses of the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (MMR) are displayed at a CVS Pharmacy, Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2025, in Miami.

In today’s show, two new measles cases are causing disruption for some students at a Front Range high school. Plus, Denver is auditioning for a starring role in the next presidential election.  Then, a pipe bombing trial decades in the making is delayed in Grand Junction. And a young Denver musician who’s making a name for herself by shredding on the electric violin.
