About this listen

 I live in Alaska and will talk about anything and everything from sports to music to whatever, except religion and politics. I will absolutely not have a discussion about those two subjects. This podcast is for the traveler who has never been to Alaska or still has questions or inquiries about this wonderful state.This page will constantly be under construction.

  • The Spine of the Arctic

    The Spine of the Arctic
    Feb 17 2026

    The James W. Dalton Highway is more than just a road; it is a 414-mile engineering marvel that functions as the literal central nervous system of Alaska’s economy. Carved through the absolute limit of the habitable world, it connects the interior hub of Fairbanks to the industrial heart of Prudhoe Bay on the Arctic Ocean.

  • The Crystal Kingdom

    The Crystal Kingdom
    Jan 11 2026

    In this episode, we venture into the heart of the "deep freeze" to explore the intersection of atmospheric physics and ancient folklore. When the temperature drops below -4°F (-20°C), the air ceases to be just empty space and instead becomes a canvas for some of the rarest optical phenomena on Earth.

  • Christmas In The Greatland

    Christmas In The Greatland
    Dec 21 2025

    In this, shorter than normal episode Christmas In The Great Land, we journey into the heart of an Alaskan winter to discover how residents turn the "Big Dark" into a season of warmth and light. We explore the deep-rooted tradition of Selaviq (Starring) in Russian Orthodox communities, where a spinning star leads carolers through the snow.

    We also take a trip to North Pole, Alaska, to see where the holiday spirit lives year-round, and sit down for a virtual "subsistence feast" featuring moose roast and Akutaq. From the giant star shining on the Chugach Mountains to the crackle of solstice bonfires, this episode celebrates the resilience, community, and unique cultural tapestry that makes a Christmas in Alaska unlike anywhere else on Earth.

    I also touch on a special ceremony that makes me part of a special group, with some amazing people as well as another story about a true Alaska Hockey Legend.
