  • Zombie Sea Lions, Roundabouts, and the Dock Debate — Wade's Back on Problem Corner
    Apr 1 2025

    Wade Bryson makes a splashy return, covering everything from zombie sea lions and roundabout rage to a major update on the proposed Huna Totem dock project.

    Susan Bell of Huna Totem joins Wade to break down Monday’s crucial assembly vote on the Aak’w Landing Project. With over 22 community presentations, environmental safeguards, and extensive public input, the project is nearing its next major step—CBJ authorization to negotiate a tidelands lease.

    The show doesn’t stop there—cell phones, sea lions, and skiffs all make an appearance. Callers sold lift chairs, gaming monitors, and a 16-foot Lund boat, while others raised questions about city salaries, fish stick origins, and whether it's okay to honk in a roundabout (spoiler: at least one caller says yes).

    Wade also tackled weird roadside behavior, public safety concerns, and why Juneau might see more roundabouts (like it or not). With his signature humor and open mic spirit, Wade kept the community chatting, questioning, and laughing—just like old times.

    Mar 31 2025

    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.
