Boats, Beds, and Big Ideas: Wade Returns to Problem Corner

Wade Bryson is back hosting Problem Corner, and Monday’s show was a classic community mix—everything from used furniture sales to short-term rental tax policy and landfill solutions.

Listeners called in to sell skiffs, lift chairs, step ladders, and PS4s, while Wade and Justin explored the ins and outs of “marketplace facilitators” like Airbnb, Turo, and Swappa, and how they impact Juneau’s sales tax collection.

A big topic was how to better recycle electronics, with callers suggesting ecoATMs and websites like Swappa.com as smarter alternatives. Meanwhile, listeners weighed in on the city’s landfill situation, debated upcoming votes like the Huna Totem Dock, and even questioned what’s going on with the Auke Bay Sea-Doos.

Problem Corner delivered its usual blend of local issues, good humor, and thoughtful neighborly exchange—with a dash of marketplace madness.
