The Dashboard Diaries #4: Wenatchee, WA
It can be hard for Alaskans to feel connected to the rest of the country. I recently went on a nearly coast to coast drive with my daughter and her family as they moved from South Carolina to Washington State. As we drove 500-mile days for a week a few connections between places on our drive and my home city of Anchorage emerged.
Welcome to the Dashboard Diaries a special four-part mini-serie...
You are invited to end the summer by going on a road trip with us on the Dashboard Diaries – brush up on the topic of homelessness with “The Hydra of Homelessness” – and look forward to Season 5: “North to the Future.”

Resources Used I Make This Episode:
Anchorage has had its share of minor league sports teams over the years – The Northern Knights of the Continental Basketball Association, the Anchorage Aces Hockey team, and the short-lived Arena Football team the Wild – but it has never had a professional baseball team. However, one team was a frequent guest in Alaska’s largest city back in the late 1950’s. We tell that story on this special July 4th edition of the Anchored City P...
There was just too much to fit in the last episode of The Dashboard Diaries!
On this episode we consider another way the history of black baseball connects Kansas City, MO and Anchorage.

Summer time means a lot of different things in Alaska. Camping, fishing, hiking and for many it also means live music. On this episode I’m talking to two Anchorage musicians that you might see at a show this summer.
Pepper Kit is a local singer-songwriter and one of the folks behind the popular Girl Crush events.
Travis Carbaugh is a guitarist that has played in a number of top local bands. He is currently playing in the band Red F...
BTS: 31 – The Alaska Myth w/ Kaitlin Armstrong
May 26, 2025
Alaskans are serious about who is a real Alaskan and who isn’t. The pursuit of understanding who is a real Alaskan is more often than not tied to a Frontier mentality and the legend that has been created around the 49th State.
The mythology of Alaska is the topic of the award-winning podcast The Alaska Myth. On this episode we talk with Kaitlin Armstrong the host & exe...

May 19, 2025
Alaska feels a bit removed from the rest of the United States because it is separated from the contiguous 48 states by a minimum of 500 mile. Anchorage is even further away. That distance can leave residents not only distinct and different, but often detached.

ACCEE Series #3: w/ Trevor Storrs & Jessica Simonsen

Last year we talked twice with members of the Anchorage Child Care and Early Education Fund implementation team. During 2024 they were doing research, hearing from the community, and making recommendations to the Anchorage Assembly about how to spend the $5 million dollars of marijuana tax money earmarked for Child Care and Early Education made possible by Prop...
Back on April of this year I talked with members of the Anchorage Child Care and Early Education Fund implementation team. At that time they were doing research and hearing from the community about how to spend the $5 million dollars of marijuana tax money earmarked for Child Care and Early Education made possible by Proposition 14 in 2023.
They have now arrived at their recommendations for the Mayor LaFrance and thew Anchorage Ass...
There have been a good number of Major Leaguers to have their start in Alaska playing summer college baseball. Only two are in the Hall of Fame – Tom Seaver and Dave Winfield. But before there ever was summer college baseball in the state, one Hall of Fame player spent a part of their early career in Alaska. For that story we need to go back to 1946.

The neighborhood of Fairview, on the Northside of Anchorage, is considered one of Anchorage’s original four neighborhoods along with Downtown, South Addition and Mountain View. However, what is less known is that Fairview was once its own individual town independent of Anchorage.
Today most Anchorage residents don’t think about Fairview too much. In fact most residents only interact with this neighborhood when driving through the ...
Anchorage has its first elected female mayor. In light of the election of Suzaane LaFrance as Anchorage’s mayor we are returning to a previous episode - S2:E10: Anchorage, Boston, Elections and All Male Mayors – which outlines the city’s history of electing only men to the Anchorage’s top office.

In April of 2023 Anchorage Voters passed Proposition 14 by a 12-point margin. That proposition dedicates marijuana tax money to child care and early child care education – estimated to be between $4 & $6 million per year. These funds seem to come at just the right time.
Due to the scarcity of programs as well as the cost of care and lack of high-quality child care means that 51% of Alaskan families cannot fully participate in t...
Fentanyl is a dangerous drug that is killing Alaskans.
