Coming up on KTNA

Hits and Misses with Paul Button is on break this week. Tonight on Alaska’s Fresh Catch, tune into KTNA for an Americana special. On the show, the debut of a brand-new collaboration from three Alaska songwriters: Casey Smith, Chad Reynvaan, and Joshua LaBuda. And, reminisce with Alaska folk legend Hobo Jim, whose songs still feel stitched into the state’s backroads, barrooms, and boat harbors. Alaska’s Fresh Catch airs on KTNA Wednesdays at 9pm.

This week on Su Valley Voice we’re revisiting our episode from last Fall in which we discussed our area rivers with those who live, work and play on them. Susitna River Coalition will also be live in the studio to introduce listeners to their new 2 year community-driven collaboration with the Environmental Protection Agency. The resulting Susitna Watershed Plan will aim to make planning efforts accessible and understandable to the public. Su Valley Voice airs live this Thursday at 10am with a rebroadcast at 7pm. You can email questions or comments ahead of time to dj@ktna.org or call in live during the show at 907-733-1200 or 1205.
