Hosts Justin Miller and Nano Brooks welcomed spring with updates on the first cruise ship arrivals, bear sightings, and Folk Fest festivities—plus community garage sales and a continued search for a lost golden doodle named Verne. The show shifted gears into a powerful community discussion on sugar consumption, traditional diets, and long-term health. Callers shared personal experiences with diabetes, concerns about Real ID travel for college students, and updates on KJNO signal repairs. The show wrapped with a reminder: eat clean, stay aware, and look out for one another as spring blossoms in Southeast Alaska.

Thursday’s Problem Corner featured a toe-tapping visit from renowned roots musician Deke Dickerson, here in Juneau for the 50th Alaska Folk Festival. Deke discussed his Western Swing All Stars band, the history of western swing music, and his deep ties to the genre—all while playing live in the studio. The show also featured spirited community calls on topics ranging from Goldbelt gondolas and local traffic lights to vintage record sales and housing needs. Hosts Katie Bausler and Justin Miller kept the vibes upbeat with laughter, live music, and all things Folk Fest.

On this episode of Problem Corner, Justin Miller and Ben Brown welcome Susan Bell from Huna Totem Corporation to discuss the long-awaited Auk Landing project, including its public benefits, cultural centerpiece featuring Preston Singletary’s “Raven in the Box of Daylight,” and key assembly vote scheduled for tonight. The show also features a lively round of community calls offering everything from free furniture and fishing gear to hot takes on Capital Transit, scam calls, and more.
