  • Easier than Divorce

    Easier than Divorce
    Nov 19 2025
    Sitka, Alaska We all know married couples who seem to thrive on discord. These are the people we avoid joining for dinner and the ones in whose presence we squirm as they argue, yell, and threaten. We wonder why they got married, and if they divorce, we’re certain no one else would want either one of them. Still, I’ve met couples who not only manage to survive their contentious relationships but enjoy sparring with their partners. Marriage is hard, but most of us try, at least for a while, to make a relationship work, and if it doesn’t work, we leave and go our separate ways. Jane and Scott Coville constantly fought, even before they moved to Alaska and married, but Jane did not divorce Scott; there was no need to sever ties with him because Scott conveniently disappeared. Did he grow disillusioned with Jane, marriage, and life in Alaska? Did Scott take off on his own for an adventure somewhere else, a place far away from his current responsibilities, or did something much more sinister happen to Scott Coville?

  • Murder in the Bering Sea

    Murder in the Bering Sea
    Nov 5 2025
    On March 22, 1990, the Aleutian Enterprise, a one-hundred-and-forty-three-foot factory trawler, rolled over and sank in the Bering Sea. Nine crew members died, and twenty-two others barely escaped. The incident happened because the owners and managers of Arctic Alaska Seafood put profits above safety and the crew's lives on their processing ships. Their actions – or inactions – were nothing short of murder. ________________ Take a trip to Shuyak Island _______________________ Join the Readers and Writers Book Club from November 18-25 and Explore the Aurora!

  • FTA: Murder on Shuyak Island

    FTA: Murder on Shuyak Island
    Oct 22 2025
    On November 12th, 2015, Peter, the Island Air, mail-plane pilot, landed at Port William Wilderness Lodge on Shuyak Island. The lodge occupies an old cannery, and Peter found this stop memorable because instead of both of the lodge’s caretakers greeting him, as usual, only one caretaker, 44-year-old Steven Ridenour, met the plane. Peter wondered why the other caretaker, Steven McCaulley, 56, also did not arrive to help unload the freight. Since the tide was high, the plane could not pull up to the beach, and Ridenour had to ferry the mail to shore by boat. Without McCaulley there to assist, the job proved difficult and time-consuming. Peter also found it curious that Ridenour simply stacked the freight above the high-tide mark, grabbed his gear, and jumped on the plane for a ride back to Kodiak. Ridenour then flew to Anchorage where he lived. On November 15th, Steven Ridenour called the manager of Port William Wilderness Lodge, told him he’d quit his job, and asked for his past four paychecks. On November 17th, Steven Ridenour’s brother, Don, called the lodge manager and said his brother sent him and other family members Facebook messages stating he killed his fellow caretaker, Steven McCaulley, in self-defense, and he needed money to leave the state. The manager contacted the Alaska State Troopers and requested a welfare check on McCaulley at the lodge. SOURCES: Christiansen, Scott. 3-17-2017.

I'm a true crime junkie and I really enjoyed these podcasts! I originally found Robin on a show I was watching called Cold Blooded Alaska and decided to look her up, I enjoy podcasts while I drive! I was not disappointed :)

Great True Crime Coverage!!!

I appreciate you telling the story, you did an accurate job in the telling. Your focus on what happened and why was the right focus. Your telling felt objective to me not blaming and emphasizing the positive at the end. The industry has changed and for the better. It was difficult to listen to now 39 years latter, I miss my brother now more than ever. He was gentle, smart, and determined he had a funny side to him. He along with all the A Boat men are missed, they are talked about in shared memories to this day. Their names are on memorials in Anacortes. And alive in a young man’s Facebook page about them. We have a bench near the beach where we played as kids to remember Jeff that is all I have except for the memories. This podcast does a service to remind us of the danger and pull of the sea. I disagree that going to sea then was all about the money it was also about the desire for being the best and living an alive life. Should you do a follow up episode please seek help on the pronunciation of names.
