  • How your Permanent Fund Dividend check can support those in need | Hometown, Alaska

    How your Permanent Fund Dividend check can support those in need | Hometown, Alaska
    Oct 6 2025
    It’s the first week of October, and you know what that means. Thousands of Alaskans woke up on Friday to find Permanent Fund Dividend checks deposited into their bank accounts. The modest amount of $1,000 was the lowest in five years, and with inflation factored in, the lowest in state history. But even though the dollars received has shrunk, it hasn’t slowed down Alaskans generosity to Pick Click Give, a program that allows residents to donate a portion of their PFD to non-profits of their choosing. On today’s show we look at where those Pick Click Give resources go and look ahead to what smaller PFDs could mean for the program.Also featured: Episode 1 of Alaska Public Media's Dracula.HOST: Dave WaldronGUESTS:Jennifer Cross, Program Officer, Pick Click GiveDaniel Bentle, Chief Philanthropy Officer, Food Bank of AlaskaLINKS:Pick Click GiveFood Bank of Alaska

    Picture yourself on your favorite trail in Anchorage, the scent of spruce in the air and the soft crunch of leaves beneath your boots. It seems quiet, but are you truly alone? No. Concealed critters are all around you, hidden in the trees, underbrush and in the shadows, living their wild lives just out of sight. On this episode we hear from a local biologist and ornithologist as we explore how urban wildlife thrives quietly alongside us and how to start seeing the unseen.HOST: Kim SherryGUESTS:Cory Stantorf, biologistLisa Pajot, ornithologistLINKS:Alaska Department of Fish and GameADF&G Bird and Bat BoxesBird TLC
