  • Helping Mikey, Winter Giving, and a Fiery SeaAlaska Debate
    Nov 19 2025

    Justin Miller’s Wednesday show mixed neighbor-to-neighbor help with spirited community talk. Mikey in Haines called seeking a ride to the post office and a little Thanksgiving support as he prepares for treatment in Seattle; listeners also heard a request to donate winter clothing for local veterans, a birthday shout-out for Steven and Jordan Bennett, and a family searching for an old-school student desk. Justin promoted Saturday’s Karen & Sharon Food Drive at both IGA stores, reminded folks about Public Market and winter driving safety, and unveiled a playful new “wrap-up” jingle for long calls. On the phones, callers debated SeaAlaska (7(i)/7(j) revenue sharing, free-speech concerns, and investment priorities), urged civility, floated ideas like elder housing and services, and touched on broader topics (ICE, National Guard). A caller also found Justin’s missing snare at The Alaskan, and another sought leather patch sewing and a dual-cassette/CD boombox.

  • Winter Care, Safer Roads, and Community Help
    Nov 5 2025

    Justin Miller (with guest co-host Devon Stickler) fielded a wide range of community calls: Mikey in Haines offered house/dog-sitting while candidly sharing his ongoing chemo battle; Tlingit & Haida announced sign-ups for Elders’ Winter Care Packages. Listeners chatted winter’s approach, a quick Bruce Springsteen “Glory Days” trivia giveaway, and classifieds (Traeger grill set, free treadmill, 200 movies). Public safety topics included the seasonal 45 mph zone by Fred Meyer and ideas to fix the Egan/Fred Meyer intersection (roundabout vs. new light). Callers weighed in on food security amid SNAP issues (food bank/WIC suggestions and a business-margins rebuttal), cruise ship graywater and ferry service concerns, plus well-wishes for a young crash victim.
