The Last Frontier Podcast
Your two hosts of this podcast work as professional guides in the Alaskan outdoor tourism industry and started this podcast as a fun way to keep busy during the pandemic summer of 2020. With uncertainty in what employment might look like, Danny and Andrew still wanted to share the beauty of Alaska with people and this podcast was a good way to achieve that goal. Alaska is an incredible place everybody should put on their destination bucket list. Each episode opens with a beer review highlighting a local Alaskan brewery and then tackles a different topic relating to what makes Alaska such a unique place in the world. With all the fun being had drinking Alaskan brews and sharing fascinating information about the Last Frontier State, what started as a fun short term project has morphed into a long term endeavor. With this decision, investments were made in much better production equipment and the sound quality drastically improves starting in Phase II of the podcast with Episode 17 (Feb 21, 2021 release date). We hope you enjoy the content and strongly encourage you to visit Alaska in the future!

The Kayak
A mode of transportation 4,000 years in the making, the kayak is one of the oldest modes of transportation in the world. As former professional sea kayak guides, this vessel is near and dear to our hearts so please join us on today's episode as we discuss the origin of the kayak and talk through its design, construction, original purpose, and use in modern society. Why was kayak rolling essential for survival? When was kayaking introduced as an Olympic sport? And how the heck do you hunt caribou from a kayak?! It's the episode you'll listen to on your next paddle!
