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 Salmon Hatcheries: Part 2
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We’ve learned what Alaska’s salmon hatcheries are and why they exist, but do they actually work? In Part 2 of our look at Alaska’s salmon hatchery system, we follow those fish from the hatchery back to the fishery, looking at just how successful these programs have been and the questions they raise along the way. How do you know if a salmon came from a hatchery? Can there actually be too many salmon in the North Pacific? And are hatcheries helping Alaska’s wild salmon or putting them at risk?! It’s the episode that asks whether you can have too much of a good thing!
