From church to beer, the Russian legacy in Alaska has had a lasting impact on the Last Frontier. On the final episode of our Russian mini-series, we explore the many different ways the Russian settlement of Alaska can still be felt today. What state holidays do Alaskans celebrate as a result of the Alaska purchase? How did the Russian orthodox church spread to Alaska? And what exactly is a Russian Imperial Stout?! It's the episode you'll eat with a delicious piroshki!

Current Russian Influences in The Last Frontier

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!
