The Last Frontier Podcast
Your two hosts of this podcast work as professional guides in the Alaskan outdoor tourism industry and started this podcast as a fun way to keep busy during the pandemic summer of 2020. With uncertainty in what employment might look like, Danny and Andrew still wanted to share the beauty of Alaska with people and this podcast was a good way to achieve that goal. Alaska is an incredible place everybody should put on their destination bucket list. Each episode opens with a beer review highlighting a local Alaskan brewery and then tackles a different topic relating to what makes Alaska such a unique place in the world. With all the fun being had drinking Alaskan brews and sharing fascinating information about the Last Frontier State, what started as a fun short term project has morphed into a long term endeavor. With this decision, investments were made in much better production equipment and the sound quality drastically improves starting in Phase II of the podcast with Episode 17 (Feb 21, 2021 release date). We hope you enjoy the content and strongly encourage you to visit Alaska in the future!

Alaska and Hawaiʻi might sit far apart, but both places are known for producing remarkable people shaped by isolation, hardship, and the environments they chose to live in. From remote islands in the North Pacific to the isolated settlement of Molokaʻi, these are places that test people, and sometimes, the people who stand out the most are the ones who chose to stay. On today’s episode, we’re building our very own Alaska and Hawaiʻi Religious Hall of Fame, highlighting four saints from Alaska and two from Hawaiʻi whose lives were defined by service, resilience, and a deep connection to place. How important was language in early missionary work? How did these individuals impact the communities around them? And what do their stories tell us about life at the edge of the map?! It’s the episode that'll have you thinking about island life in a brand-new way!
Before we wrap up the intro, we just want to acknowledge that this episode was recorded on Maui prior to the recent storms and flooding. Our thoughts are with the people of the island, and of the friends and community we spent time with while we were there.
