Alaska has the fish, the natural gas, the land, the water, and enormous potential—but who should benefit from those resources first?

Brett Huber is joined again by co-host Halle Carter for a wide-ranging conversation about some of the biggest questions facing Alaska. They start with the growing fight over Alaska’s fisheries: trawlers, commercial fishermen, sport fishermen, subsistence users, and whether Alaskans should get first priority when it comes to the resources that belong to the state.

From there, Brett and Halle tackle AI and massive data centers, Alaska’s governor’s race, ranked-choice voting, education, the future of the gasline, energy security, and why so many Alaskans are frustrated with the political process. They also talk about what all of these decisions mean for younger Alaskans trying to build careers, raise families, and stay in the state.

It’s exactly what On Air with Brett Huber is about: two generations, different perspectives, honest questions, some disagreements, and a conversation about where Alaska goes from here.

It’s fall in Alaska—moose season, football season, and election season. And Brett Huber says Alaskans need to start paying attention to who is trying to shape the state’s future.

In this episode of On Air with Brett Huber, Brett digs into the governor’s race, ranked-choice voting, the increasingly expensive U.S. Senate battle, fisheries, education, the Legislature, and the flood of outside money pouring into Alaska politics. He also raises questions about the growing interest in Alaska’s natural gas and energy resources from AI and data-center companies—and what Alaskans should demand before those resources are committed.

Brett argues that voters should look beyond campaign advertising and political personalities and start asking harder questions: Who is funding these candidates? What do they actually want to accomplish? Who benefits from their policies? And will Alaska’s resources create opportunity for Alaskans—or primarily for companies and interests outside the state?

From commercial fishing and declining salmon runs to education, energy, jobs, and the future facing the next generation, Brett’s message is that Alaskans still have a voice—but only if they use it.

Alaska has incredible resources, enormous potential, and generations of people who have built their lives here. So why does it feel like the state is moving in the wrong direction?

In this episode of On Air with Brett Huber, Brett comes to you from the banks of the Kenai River for a candid look at the political battles shaping Alaska’s future. He breaks down the latest twists in the governor’s race, the high-stakes United States Senate race, ranked-choice voting, key legislative contests, and why he believes Alaskans need to look beyond campaign ads and start asking tougher questions.

Brett also digs into some of the bigger challenges facing the state—education, fisheries, energy, the gasline, government spending, and whether Alaska is still creating the kind of opportunity that allowed previous generations to build businesses, raise families, and thrive here.

His message is clear: Alaska’s future isn’t predetermined. But if Alaskans want something better, they have to get involved, pay attention, vote, and demand more from the people who represent them.

Can young Alaskans still afford to build a life, buy a home, start a business, raise a family, and create a future in the state they love?

On this episode of On Air with Brett Huber, Brett is joined for the first time by new co-host Halle Carter, a lifelong Alaskan who brings a very different generational perspective to the show.

Brett has spent 35 years around Alaska politics and public policy. Halle openly admits she’s still trying to understand a political system that often feels confusing, overwhelming, and disconnected from the problems people her age actually face. Together, they ask a much bigger question: Is Alaska still creating opportunity for the next generation—or are bad policies getting in the way?

They get into the aftermath of Alaska’s primary election, ranked-choice voting, the state’s budget problems, natural resources, oil and gas, education, the proposed gasline, the influence of money in Juneau, and why so many Alaskans feel increasingly disconnected from their government.

They don’t agree on everything—and that’s exactly the point.

On Air with Brett Huber is about having the conversations Alaskans should be having: politics, business, the economy, faith, family, opportunity, culture, and the future of the state—with some humor and common sense along the way.

Who should be Alaska’s next governor—and is anyone in the field really ready to lead the state?

On this episode of On Air with Brett Huber, Brett gives his candid, unfiltered assessment of the governor’s race. After decades inside Alaska politics, he knows the process, understands the players, and has seen firsthand how political decisions are really made.

He breaks down what he sees in the current field, where he thinks candidates are strong, where they fall short, and why voters should look past polished resumes and campaign talking points.

The conversation also goes well beyond personalities. Brett digs into the issues he believes Alaska’s next governor must confront, including the budget, fisheries, resource development, education, the Permanent Fund Dividend, ranked-choice voting, the cost of living, and whether young Alaskans will still be able to build a future here.

This isn’t an endorsement. It’s an insider’s perspective and a challenge to Alaska voters: ask better questions, demand real answers, and decide what kind of state you want to leave to the next generation.

In the first episode of On Air with Brett Huber, Brett shares the story of how Alaska became home—and why, after more than three decades inside Alaska politics and government, he believes it’s time to fight for the opportunities that once defined the Last Frontier.

From arriving in Alaska in 1984 with a young family, a Jeep, a U-Haul, and $600 to his unexpected entrance into politics, Brett reflects on the people, experiences, and lessons that shaped his view of public service. He also explains how Juneau has changed, why money and power play such an important role in the political process, and why he believes too many young Alaskans are questioning whether they can afford a home, raise a family, build a career, or create a future here.

Brett also lays out what listeners can expect from On Air: an insider’s look at how Alaska really works, along with conversations about politics, business, the economy, family, faith, culture, opportunity, and the future of Alaska.

This is just the beginning.
