Anchorage Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Forum Podcasts
The Speaker's Forum is held each Sunday morning from 9:00 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. Forum topics often address and spur dialogue about a current local community, statewide, national or international issue. Some forums feature a local author and the topic of the author's new book, or a representative of a local non-governmental organization (NGO) describing the organization’s work, programs, and accomplishments.

Dan ONeill was born and raised in San Francisco, graduated from the University of California at Berkeley, and moved to Alaska at age twenty-five. He worked construction, studied poetry, built log cabins, hunted, fished, trapped, and ran dogs. As a research associate at the oral history program, University of Alaska Fairbanks, he produced radio and television documentaries for public broadcasting. He wrote three books of nonfiction: The Firecracker Boys (for which he was named Alaska Historian of the Year), The Last Giant of Beringia, and A Land Gone Lonesome. He wrote a political opinion column for the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner for several years. In 2021, the University of Alaska Fairbanks awarded ONeill the honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree.
