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!

Symbols of the Last Frontier
Each state has a collection of symbols that help that state stand out in uniqueness amongst its peers. Alaska is no exception and one might argue that the difference in location, climate and history of the last frontier sets it even more apart than the rest. On today's episode, your hosts delve into the state symbols of Alaska, what they are and the historical context to why they were selected. How did we get this podcast name? What bug bested the mosquito to become Alaska's state insect? And why is the bald eagle good enough for America, but not for Alaska?! It's the episode you'll nominate us for Alaska state podcast!
