On this Veteran's Day host Justin Miller fields calls on shout outs of Friends and Family veterans, as well as on Alaskan history with Veterans.

Justin Miller hosted a wide-ranging Problem Corner: Mikey in Haines opened his calendar for house/pet-sitting and cleaning (Nov–Jan). Several callers flagged recent safety concerns downtown and thanked librarians and warming-shelter staff for stepping in. We got a quick history bite on Killisnoo/“hooch,” a listener quiz (Eisenhower last GOP prez to lower the national debt), and a positivity reset. Justin also spotlighted First Friday arts—including a donation-based Spooky Social Dance at Raven Yoga Shala this Sat Nov 7, 7–10:30pm (lesson 7:15–8). Wrap-up included a free treadmill offer and lots of classifieds.

Ben Brown hosted a brisk Monday (Nov 3) Problem Corner with sunshine, winter-prep reminders, and a stack of community calls: help for Mikey in Haines, a new Douglas Post Office thrift store tip, multiple bedbug cautions (plus a DIY kit for sale), elder holiday care packages via Tlingit & Haida, and plenty of classifieds (cars, scooter, movies, kittens, bus tokens). A caller also shared how Point Retreat got its name. Speed-limit reminder: 45 mph seasonal zone near Fred Meyer is in effect; snow possible Sunday.

Halloween morning opened with two powerful Alaska history calls—a rebuttal to “SNAP enabling” framed with dates from Russian, Spanish, and U.S. incursions, and an elder’s Tlingit perspective on clan names, migrations, and artifacts—plus a listener request to make Indigenous-history segments a regular feature. Rose updated efforts to airlift clothes to Mikey in Haines via Alaska Seaplanes (coordinating with Yvonne); Mikey called in grieving a family loss and asked for prayers and light work (house/dog-sitting) as he continues treatment (907-500-2611). Community notes included a Telephone Hill documentary night at the Alaskan Bar—Fri, Nov 7, ~6pm (during First Friday/Art Walk)—and safety reminders for a dark, windy trick-or-treat. Quick classifieds: movies/CDs & wheelchair (957-1673), 3 kittens (419-8420), and bus tokens for sale from a caller hit by the shutdown (500-7369). Listeners also shouted out JAR adoptions, Rotary polio work, and a challenge for deep-pocketed donors to step up at home.

Halloween week vibes + community hustle. Rose organizes a clothing airlift to Haines for Mikey (undergoing cancer treatment; needs 30x30 pants & XL shirts) and coordinates with another donor; listeners reminded of Juneau food bank drop site on Crazy Horse Dr. SNAP shutdown worries spark calls; suggestion to stock food banks now. Rapid-fire classifieds: 200 movies now $150 (also seeking short motel help; (907) 500-8553), free furniture set near the Elks—dining table w/4 chairs, big bookcase, matching coffee/end tables (419-8771), big lot of fishing gear + household items ($50; 419-1031). Plus: Traeger Woodridge Pro pellet grill + Oakford vertical smoker, both excellent, $800 OBO (723-9948). Snow-date guesses continue (Nov 11 & 15 on the board). Movie trivia time: Archie (“Wassup”) nails the answer—first kid taken was Griffin Stagg; film set in Denver, Colorado—and wins two tickets.

Chilly Monday edition kicks off a “first snowfall” guessing game (one caller predicts overnight), plus a quick fix for a brief stream delay. Community calls roll in: 200 DVDs for $200 at Fred Meyer, Nintendo Wii ($50), Michael Kors bags and winter gear, a seller with bus tokens, and a Ram 1500 seeking 265/75R16 winter tires. Mikey in Haines checks in—offering house/dog sitting and urgently needing 30x30 pants and XL shirts—as listeners coordinate clothing deliveries (tip: try Ward Air/Haines Airways). Also noted: Rain Dogs fundraiser at the Alaskan, Eaglecrest’s Books2Boards success, and Polio Radio donors picking up Grind Coffee gift cards.

Quick recap: resources shared for Western Alaska typhoon relief (AHFC newsroom links; Amazon/Red Cross support), plus November “Letter of Gratitude” honoring Dr. Walter Soboleff and a roundup of Halloween events (Treadwell skate, Ghost/Zombie walks). Callboard highlights: big comics lot + Bulls merch, antique oak desk set ($350), queen mattress/microwave & household goods (indoor “garage sale” till Thu), 200 DVDs for $200, and free queen mattress (Lemon Creek). Community topics included a Kake teen birthday shout-out, handicap parking enforcement and tight stall sizes, a PFD petition inquiry, bear activity near the Prospector culvert, Global Credit Union hardship help during the shutdown, and bus tokens offered by a caller affected by reduced disability income.

Quick hits: Mikey in Haines offered house/dog-sitting and asked for 30x30 pants + XL shirts; caller selling 1922 silver dollars and a full gel nail kit; 200 DVDs for $200; free queen mattress in Lemon Creek. Community chat covered Teal Street homelessness (causes vs. symptoms), Rotary’s Polio Plus radio day, “Thumbelina” the missing cat, Charles’s ongoing sobriety plus binoculars/comics/yard work, and Saturday’s Princess Sophia remembrance at Evergreen Cemetery.
