Listen Later

 On this wet Wednesday edition, Dave Ignell and Justin Miller take a full slate of calls. A resident warns that Telephone Hill’s geography makes housing plans unrealistic and urges voters to push back before demolition begins. Another caller raises alarms about alleged youth exploitation and criminal activity under Gold Creek Bridge, while a medical patient seeks a volunteer escort to Anchorage for open-heart surgery. Petitioners for a statewide ranked-choice voting measure call in with updates, sparking discussion on civic participation.

The show closes with a defense of Juneau’s police department alongside recognition of the broader challenges facing the community.
