Hockey is back in the Sullivan Arena! After the departure of the Anchorage Aces in 2017, the premier hockey venue in Anchorage was without a team until 2024, when the North American Hockey League team, the Anchorage Wolverines, moved in, and the atmosphere is electric! On this episode, we talk with the Wolverines' general manager, Merit Waldrop.

This season, we used the Alaska State Motto – “North to the Future” –as a model for how we might positively imagine the future of Anchorage. In this episode, we hear a number of short positive visions for Anchorage’s future.

On December 17, 2025 the Alaska Watchman reported, “In a split decision, the Anchorage Assembly narrowly voted to erase all historical references to the famous Captain James Cook from the city’s official seal.”

In light of the new Municipal Seal, and the controversy about the removal of Captain Cook from it, we return to Season 1: Episode 5. I hope you enjoy this Encore Episode about Captain Cook originally titled, The Legacy of Colonialism Part 1: A Statue, a Banner, and a Covenant.

We want to hear your positive vision of the future!

Record a voice memo on your phone of your positive vision for Anchorage’s future and send the audio file to anchorageutc@gmail.com. Please put in the subject line of your email “North to the Future – My Vision.”

We are reaching back into history to a very early Christmas in Anchorage to talk about wrestling. Yep, you read that right, wrestling. In the early days of Anchorage, wrestling was extremely popular, and it didn’t even stop for Christmas.

We want to hear your positive vision of the future!

BTS 36: Returning to The Hydra of Homelessness – Micro-Unit Housing

Season three of this podcast was titled “The Hydra of Homelessness.” In that season, back in 2022, we looked at a number of different issues connected to homelessness to get a more complete view of the complexity of that issue. On this episode we are returning to the Hydra of Homelessness.

Joel talks with Julie Graham the Board Chair of In Our Backyard – “anonprofit founded by members of Central Lutheran Church in Anchorage, Alaska that proactively addresses the needs of our unhoused neighbors using micro-units.”

Joel also speaks with Eric Visser from Visser Construction about the mirco-units The municipality is building for the purposes of recovery residences. Mayor LaFrance has stated that “These micro-units will be a vital bridge to stability for people as they transition out of homelessness.”

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-series brought to you by the AnchorED City Podcast.

During this four-part mini-series we will connect with Anchorage’s soul through her history, stories, and people by connecting to four places along the road from our drive across this vast land of ours.

On this episode we consider a connection between Wenatchee, WA and Anchorage.

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.

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 Flags and working on a couple of metal projects.

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 & executive producer of The Alaska Myth.

The Dashboard Diaries #1: Greenville, SC

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.

Welcome to the Dashboard Diaries a special four-part mini-series brought to you by the AnchorED City Podcast.

On this episode we consider a surprising connection between Greenville, SC and Anchorage.

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

April 21, 2025

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 Proposition 14 in 2023.

On this episode I am joined by Trevor Storrs and Jessica Simonsen to get an update on what is happening with the ACCEE fund.

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 Assembly.

On this episode we are joined by Trevor Storrs & Austin Quinn-Davidson to talk about what the ACCEE team has proposed.

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 Ingra / Gambell corridor that connects the Seward Highway running South and the Glenn Highway running North.

On this episode we are focusing on Fairview. We are not just passing through on the highway, but stopping to hear about the past, present and future of this community in Anchorage.

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 the labor force. And even when families can participate the costs are high with many child care spots costing up to $1800 per month in Anchorage. In Alaska, child care can account for up to 15% of parents’ income.

On this episode I am joined by members of the Anchorage Child Care and Early Education Fund implementation team to discuss how the Anchorage Child Care and Early Education Fund is being implemented and the marijuana tax funds used to address the needs of families and child care workers in Anchorage.

Fentanyl is a dangerous drug that is killing Alaskans. In a report released in September of 2023 about drug overdose deaths in Alaska it was noted that “Fentanyl was involved in four out of five opioid overdose deaths, and many of these fentanyl-involved overdose deaths involved an additional substance, such as methamphetamine or heroin.”

On this episode we hear a series of short talks from panelists at an event titled “Discover the Truth about Fentanyl in Alaska,” that was hosted January 26, 2024, by the FBI Anchorage Citizens Academy Alumni Association and held at the Petroleum Club of Anchorage.

The panelists are:

Cornelius “Moose” Sims – Captain Alaska State Troopers, Statewide Drug Enforcement
Randi Breager – Senior Director of Programs, Covenant House Alaska
Carlos Diaz – Program Director, Integrated Services, VOA Alaska

Driving through the through Anchorage it’s nearly impossible to not see our unhoused neighbors. In light of our current situation I wondered how long Anchorage has had people experiencing homelessness. To answer that question I dove into the Anchorage Daily News archives and began looking for the first reference to homelessness as we understand it today.

What I found was interesting.

Anchorage has always had an underground of illegal activity. Those activities might have literally taken place underground in tunnels or basement bars, or they could have figuratively been underground thinly veiled behind words like “resort” or “boarding house.” On this episode we explore some of Anchorage’s underground past.

When Lin-Manuel Miranda said of his hit musical “This is a story about America then, told by America now” he could not have known how much that connects with the history of Anchorage. When Alaskans packed the Alaska Performing Arts Center to see Hamilton recently many did not know how that building represents the city’s resistance to the diversity of America and Anchorage now.
