‘The Blue Tarp’ Sponsorship
The Blue Tarp is a storytelling radio program and KTNA’s first podcast. With The Blue Tarp, we strive to share the many voices of the Upper Susitna Valley. It’s an opportunity to hear the history of the northern valley from those who lived it. History is being made every day so the stories might be decades old or more current. While the first season’s theme is historical buildings, those places serve as the stages for stories about people.
Why The Blue Tarp? It’s an evocative image for rural Alaska. They cover so many aspects of our life. With this show, we hope to cover many facets of the Susitna Valley story.
The first season of The Blue Tarp launched in 2020 with a new season release each year following. Each season features eight episodes. Season 5 is on track to launch in March of 2024.
Episodes are aired on KTNA, streamed via Tune-In, accessible through the KTNA mobile app, on KTNA.org, and available for download as a podcast.
