We pay tribute to George Reandeau who passed after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer’s.

A favorite guest and good friend, George Reandeau was Captain of the Mighty Ptarmigan, the boat that cruised Portage Glacier to give visitors a close look at Alaska’s beauty.

George was also a purveyor of Tall Alaska Tales and even shared one of his zingers! Do you think it’s the truth or a no good lyin’ through your tooth Tall Alaska Tale?

To listen to George Reandeau’s interview only listen from the beginning to approximately 34 mins 10 seconds

A delegate to Alaska’s Constitutional Convention, Vic Fisher helped co-author Alaska’s state constitution. And that was just one of Vic’s remarkable accomplishments. Imagine if someone came to you and said, “Hey, wanna start a state?!” For Alaska’s birthday celebrating becoming a state January 3, 1959, we caught up with Vic to talk about his experience helping Alaska to become a state.

To listen to Vic Fisher’s interview only start at approximately 34 mins and 8 seconds where intro starts.

We wrap up the end of a decade at Surreal Studios. Perfect. Big Alaskans doing BIG things!

Kurt started Surreal Studios 40 years ago in high school. Since then he, eventually with his wife, MJ Riemann, have provided Alaska national quality recording and production services.

We feature his Merry Christmas From Alaska CD series as an example. Partially because it’s the holiday season. But also because Kurt shows the creative versatility and generosity for his community in Alaska. Just typing the accolades gives me carpal! Plus if I get too sickeningly sweet, Kurt will go into a sugar coma!

Kurt and MJ share stories of Merry Christmas From Alaska and Surreal Studios. Fun listening!
