KSDP 830 AM serves just 600 people in Sand Point, Alaska—one of America's most isolated communities. But this tiny radio station is a lifeline, broadcasting everything from tsunami warnings to local fishing reports across the Aleutian Islands. Now, federal budget cuts threaten to silence KSDP forever, potentially leaving an entire community without their main connection to the outside world. Join Tyler as he explores the 40-year history of this remarkable station, the current funding crisis facing rural public radio, and what happens when the last voice goes silent in America's most remote places. This is the untold story of how political decisions in Washington can have life-or-death consequences on the edge of the world.
