One last shot at summer
Tue, August 19, 2008
Posted in Just for Fun | Comments Off
It’s been a cool, wet, cloudy summer, and the National Weather Service is threatening us with 10 years or more of the same. So when the temperatures tick over 60 and it’s not raining — get out there and enjoy what you can!
We stopped today, in the midst of a busy week with RUNNING and the Alaska Primary slated for next week, to smell the flowers. Or at least snap a few photos.
Have you taken time to smell some late summer blooms?
Click on over to Flickr for a view of the flowers around our facility in Anchorage. And if you’ve got a moment, post a comment below with a link to your own photos — we’d like to see if everyone else’s flowers are blooming this late in the summer, too.
More photos added to picnic gallery

We recently had our second annual membership appreciation picnic (July 30) and posted some of our snapshots on Flickr. Now we’ve more than doubled our photo collection with amazing moments captured by Anchorage-based professional photographer Oscar Edwin Avellaneda.
These are some spooky-good photos that makes an amateur photographer like me scratch my head and wonder, “How did he do that?!”
The kids’ photos are especially delightful. Check out the complete gallery — now with 126 photos — on Flickr.
Happy 30th Birthday KSKA and APRN!
Fri, August 1, 2008
Posted in APRN, KSKA, Special Events | Comments Off
The Alaska Public Radio Network was incorporated as a nonprofit public service company 30 years ago this week — on July 28, 1978. Plus, KSKA Public Radio first went on the air August 15, 1978. It’s their combined 30th anniversary and we had a bit of a picnic at APRN headquarters in Anchorage on Wednesday evening.
Click the image above to visit our photo gallery from the event.
In addition to being a birthday for APRN in Anchorage, it’s also for all the public radio stations statewide that have participated in this unique venture over all these years.
No need to send flowers — just be sure to make an annual donation to your local public radio station in Alaska.

The New Face of China — a digital slide presentation by award-winning Anchorage photographer Clark James Mishler — will be presented at the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center on Thursday, May 15 at 7:00 p.m. Proceeds will benefit KSKA Public Radio (FM 91.1).
The suggested donation for adults is $10 and students with identification are invited to attend free.
Mishler, a freelance photographer, and his wife Mitzi will share their insights and imagery from their recent trip to China’s Yunnan and Guangdong Provinces where they explored the lives of ordinary people and their rural activities.
“The land is largely unchanged over the past 50 years,” said Mishler. “This presentation will be perfect for those who wish to learn more about China as well as those who may wish to visit.”
Mishler’s work has appeared in numerous regional, national and international publications including the National Geographic Magazine and is a member of the American Society of Media Photographers and the National Press Photographers Association.
He recently published Anchorage: Life at the Edge of the Frontier, an art photo book documenting the people and places of Alaska’s largest city.
AK tops 200 episodes
Tue, November 27, 2007
Posted in APRN, News Releases | Comments Off
Earlier this month APRN’s national award-winning show, AK, crept over the 200 episode mark, and we couldn’t be happier! First broadcast in the fall of 2003, AK has become a weekly Alaskan cultural touchstone as it brings the unique people and places of Alaska to life on public radio stations statewide and for listeners worldwide via the podcast.
Aside from a brief celebration in-house (before we got right back to work on the next episode) we also invited KTUU Channel 2 to stop by and have a look at how AK is produced and what makes this little four-year-old a winner. They profiled the show in the following brief video story, graciously shared online by KTUU via YouTube:
Our heartfelt thanks go out to everyone that listens to and supports both AK and the public radio system in Alaska. We absolutely couldn’t do it without you.
For now, we’d better get back to work on the next 200 episodes…
