Longtime Denver Post music critic and entertainment editor Ricardo Baca was named Marijuana Editor for the first-of-its-kind publication that launched in December 2013, and the rest is history.
Director of DPtv Molly Hughes goes Behind the Headlines with Moore to talk about the “Rolling Papers” film crew following him and his staff for the historic first year.
