This week on State of Art we’re checking out the newest episode of Indie Alaska called “How Running Ultramarathons Saved Carol Seppilu’s Life.” We’ll also hear about one Sitkan’s musical fingerprints on the “SpongeBob SquarePants” cartoon. We wrap up the episode with a track from long-time Alaska musician Dan McElrath who is playing two going away shows this summer.
