19th Anniversary Show!

January 17, 2025/ Steve Stripling

Co-host, Mike Ford, and I get to celebrate going into our 19th season and looking back at just a fraction of the amazing and fun people we've met along the way. And it all started in a liquor closet at the Breeze Inn because there was no electrical outlet for our equipment! We were rushed into a liquor room with a landline, cases of scotch stacked for chairs for our guests, made it on time and the rest is history! Join us for our fun podcast!

Reflections: Mayor Dan Sullivan

January 10, 2025/ Steve Stripling

Dan Sullivan was twice Mayor of Anchorage, Alaska and my close friend since we were 14 years old. He also comes from a lineage that over the generations have served in Alaskan politics and community service. Stories abound! Admittedly, this show was more for my enjoyment!
