Sara Weinshenk is back for another solo episode of SHENK, joined by producer Lee for a completely unhinged conversation covering everything from exotic bird owners and sad zoos to axolotl conspiracies, aging, Red Bull addiction, viral internet clips, and the infamous "mouse in the energy drink" story. Along the way, Sara breaks down why adults shouldn't wear pigtails, debates whether aquariums are less depressing than zoos, reacts to bizarre wellness influencers, and discovers some truly disturbing random facts from the internet. If you enjoy comedy podcasts, stand-up comedy, weird internet culture, conspiracy theories, and Sara's completely chaotic stream of consciousness, this episode is for you.

In this newscast: The Juneau Community Foundation is giving the Alaska Legislature 16 two-bedroom apartments as part of a long-term effort to keep the state's capital in Juneau; Four U.S. Coast Guard crew members involved in a helicopter crash in Sitka Monday morning have been reported safe with "non-serious injuries;" Juneau residents say they want to see the city's tourism task force address issues like helicopter noise, downtown bus traffic and whale watching congestion; Alaska State Troopers recovered the body of an Anchorage paddleboarder who went missing in Turnagain Arm after a weekend-long search; A man seeking to challenge U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan has filed suit after the Alaska Division of Elections removed him from this year's ballot; The winning team in a race from Washington state to Ketchikan crossed the finish line Monday night.

Anchorage Historian David Reamer has spent years digging through archives, newspapers, and forgotten corners, recovering stories that might otherwise disappear. From his early days of sharing historical stories on social media to his long-running Histories of Alaska column in the Anchorage Daily News, he's documented everything from vanished neighborhoods and local legends to racial covenants, labor struggles, oddball characters, and the everyday moments that shaped Alaska's largest city. His work reminds us that history doesn't just live in textbooks or monuments. It survives in fragments — rumors, newspaper clippings, photographs, old advertisements, property records, fading memories, and oral histories. Through those fragments, he explores what Anchorage's past reveals about its present and what it means to preserve the memory of a city that has spent much of its life reinventing itself. Anchorage is difficult to define because it never stops changing. It was founded in 1915 as a railroad tent city—a place of laborers, opportunists, and people eager to get in on the ground floor. More than a century later, that spirit of reinvention remains. The challenge in seeing the full picture, David says, is that we rarely see the present clearly while we're living through it. Only with distance do the patterns emerge. So, he's skeptical of the neat narratives that often follow official histories because, for him, history is messy. And he embraces that messiness, challenging conventional wisdom and uncovering histories that are both profound and absurd.  Like Anchorage's brief obsession with raising chinchillas.

A suspended Anchorage defense attorney pleaded guilty Monday in federal court to one count of possession of controlled substances with intent to distribute as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors, a significant development in one of the largest drug trafficking cases in Alaska history. Alaska State Troopers say the body of the paddleboarder who went missing Friday in Turnagain Arm has been recovered. A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter crashed near Harbor Mountain during a training flight Monday morning, according to the USCG.

In June 1983, Cindy Paulson ran barefoot across an Anchorage airfield in handcuffs after escaping from Robert Hansen. She told police his name, his address, his car, and his plane. A security guard backed her up. Police investigated — and chose to believe the baker over the teenager.Robert Hansen confessed to killing seventeen women. He flew them into the Alaskan wilderness in his private Cessna and hunted them with a rifle. He marked the burial sites on a map. Some of those confirmed kills happened after Cindy Paulson's report was filed and shelved.This episode of Surviving Serial Killers on History's Hidden Killers asks the question the Anchorage police department has never answered: how many women did Robert Hansen fly into the bush between the day a seventeen-year-old girl told the truth and the day somebody finally listened? The information didn't change. The willingness to believe her did. Glenn Flothe of the Alaska State Troopers read the same file the first officers dismissed — and that's what ended it.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Cindy Paulson gave Anchorage police everything. A name. An address. A vehicle. An airplane. The specific parking spot at Merrill Field. She was still wearing Robert Hansen's handcuffs when she told them. A security guard at the airfield independently confirmed her story. The evidence was verifiable, specific, and actionable.They didn't believe her. Hansen had a bakery and a reputation. Cindy was a teenager on the streets of Anchorage. They shelved the case. Hansen kept killing. His method — flying women into the Alaskan bush and hunting them with a rifle — continued uninterrupted because the institution that had every piece of information it needed decided the source wasn't credible.Alaska State Trooper Glenn Flothe eventually found Cindy's file and believed what the first officers wouldn't. Hansen confessed to seventeen murders. This is Surviving Serial Killers — a story about what it costs when the system decides some people's words are worth less than others.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On Thursday, APD identified the man killed during a Tuesday shooting at an Anchorage Walmart. An Anchorage courtroom was packed again on Thursday as the state inches closer to closing its case against an Anchorage man accused of killing his wife in 2023. The state of Alaska and a Fairbanks charter school group are now asking the Alaska Supreme Court to reverse a judge’s Wednesday ruling blocking the immediate opening of Pearl Creek STEAM Charter School — escalating a legal fight that is being watched to see what precedent-setting impact a decision could have on who approves and funds state charter schools.

An alleged shoplifter was shot and killed, and three officers were injured in an officer-involved shooting at the Walmart on Old Seward Highway on Tuesday. An Anchorage man is facing murder and tampering with evidence charges after the state claimed he shot and killed his wife, 22-year-old Alaska National Guard Spec. Saria Hildabrand, on Aug. 6, 2023. Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) hosted the Below Zero Medicine Conference last month, a four-day symposium addressing gaps in emergency medical care in Arctic conditions.

After weeks of scrutiny, Dan Sullivan from Petersburg, Alaska, is off the ballot, Election Director Carol Beecher decided Monday. A gas-fed fire at Van’s Dive Bar triggered a response Monday morning from the Anchorage Fire Department. An Anchorage courtroom was packed Monday as the case involving a U.S. Army man from Anchorage facing homicide charges related to the death of his wife resumed.

The parents of National Park Service ranger Robin Pendery say their daughter was equal parts scholar and adventurer — a “world class climber” — whose curiosity and drive showed up early, long before she joined Denali National Park & Preserve’s mountaineering staff. Congressional candidate Bill Hill, an independent from Naknek challenging first-term Republican U.S. Rep. Nick Begich for Alaska’s lone congressional seat, won’t say if he’ll caucus with Democrats or Republicans if elected. An emotional day played out in an Anchorage courtroom Tuesday as jury members were presented with dozens of crime scene photos from a 2023 homicide case involving a U.S. Army man accused of killing his wife.

APTA Michigan's Waves host Andy Wicks interviews Dr. Rachel Auer, a traveling physical therapist from Michigan and a Grand Valley State DPT graduate, about her nearly three years of travel PT across Michigan, Montana, Washington, Colorado, and currently Anchorage, Alaska. Auer explains she chose travel PT to explore the country and sample multiple practice settings, moving between acute care, inpatient/SNF, and outpatient to keep skills sharp. She addresses common misconceptions that travel jobs have poor training or are undesirable, noting her orientation experiences have generally been reasonable. She advises students to start by learning from travel therapy communities, talk with many travelers, and understand tax compliance around tax-free stipends, including consulting a travel-focused tax expert. She also discusses state licensure challenges without the PT Compact and shares outdoor adventures enabled by short-term contracts, while acknowledging frequent moves and housing shifts can be tiring and she may eventually return to Michigan.Use the LARA PT or PTA General Response Form to document listening to Waves episodes for your PDR license renewal credits!www.aptami.orgYouTube

An Anchorage man facing murder charges was back in court Thursday for day two of his criminal trial. With the Alaska House set to debate a key tax exemption bill Friday, labor unions and the developer behind the proposed Alaska liquefied natural gas pipeline signed a non-binding pledge Thursday to prioritize Alaska workers — a show of momentum that not all lawmakers say changes their concerns about the bill. The U.S. Coast Guard announced it will homeport its first two Arctic Security Cutters in Kodiak, with a third to come in Seward Thursday.

Photo: Nahaaygm Łagyigyedm (Spirit of Our Ancestors) sits ashore One Tree Island outside of Metlakatla, Alaska. (Hunter Morrison / KRBD) Wildlife across southern Southeast Alaska is emerging from wintertime hibernation, but in Metlakatla on Annette Island, animals are not the only things waking up. Canoes are hitting the water again, marking this year's start of a Tsimshian tradition that is tied to the village's history. KRBD's Hunter Morrison tagged along for a recent canoe journey, and has this story. About a dozen people are holding cedar boughs in a driveway on the outskirts of town. Seated atop a nearby trailer is a long, white canoe. David Nelson grabs his drum and begins singing. As the drumbeats echo through the subdivision, the mixed-aged crowd cleanses and awakens the vessel by brushing the cedar along its sides. The song's lyrics honor the canoe and welcome its paddlers. It has not been performed in three years. “We believe they’re like a living, breathing thing, so we treat it as such. We say ‘hello' to it, and when we put it away, we tell you ‘it was good to be you,' and we thank it for doing everything.” The ceremony marks the start of the canoe's spring and summertime journey. The 40-foot long Nahaaygm Lagyigyedm (Spirit of Our Ancestors) has navigated Metlakatla's waters and traveled to neighboring islands since 2013. Johon Atkinson, president of the nonprofit Liwaayda, says the organization's goal is to share Tsimshian culture and bring Metlakatla back to its canoeing roots, which dates back over 130 years. “So the whole reason why we got this canoe was to get our people in Metlakatla out on water.” While today's canoes are often used to educate people about Tsimshian culture, Atkinson says they are still important to traditional practices. Later this month, the Spirit of Our Ancestors will be used in Metlakatla to harvest seaweed from neighboring islands. “It’s that feeling of we’re going to be on the ocean, on the highways of our ancestors. And just that feeling is so comforting. I feel complete when it is canoe season.” Minutes after its blessing, the canoe is towed to a boat launch, from which they will paddle to nearby One Tree Island. Johon Atkinson, right, and family members cleanse the Spirit of Our Ancestors with cedar boughs before the canoe's first journey of the season. (Photo: Hunter Morrison / KRBD) Atkinson, who is joined by his son, niece, and nephew, hopes fun opportunities like these can help keep Tsimshian traditions alive for the next generation. “Having them experience this now is something that many of us adults have not experienced at their age. So the fact that they are here, learning and leading – there’s just no words on how amazing that is.” Atkinson says folks from all over the country visit Metlakatla each summer to experience the village's canoe journeys firsthand. (Courtesy Robert Nick family) Robert Nick was a man of the Southwest Alaska tundra – and much more. He died last month at the age of 84. His memorial service was at St. Innocent Russian Orthodox Cathedral in Anchorage last week where, as Rhonda McBride from our flagship station KNBA tells us, he was remembered for a lifetime of public service. Robert Nick's Russian Orthodox service was fitting for a man who loved the harmonies of the Slavonic choir. He was known to pass out recordings of his favorite hymns to friends and fellow singers. For Andrew Guy (Yup'ik), president of the Calista Native Corporation, Nick represents the end of an era. “He's part of that group that came from having no electricity, no outboard, to where we are today.” (Courtesy Robert Nick family) Nick helped bring electricity to villages throughout Southwest Alaska through his work with the Alaska Village Electric Cooperative, an organization he helped found. He also ran a store in Nunapitchuk, a village near Bethel, Alaska where he grew up. Richard Jung (Yup'ik), who owned Jung's Trading Post, in the neighboring village of Napakiak, said Nick's leadership grew from the values he was raised in. “One of the things you're taught is to help people. You try to do what you can for your village and your region. And he was one of those guys that did that./ He knew that he could get things done and was one of the ones that knew he had to do it. He was just a fine person.” Robert Nick was very proud that he was the first in his family to receive a Western education and graduate from high school. That achievement became a foundation for decades of service on boards and commissions that focused on a wide range of causes: health, education, housing, economic development, job training, and protecting the Yup'ik subsistence way of life. (Courtesy Robert Nick family) His niece Karen Cooke Phillips (Yup'ik) says he was tireless. “Attending meetings, after meetings, for days and hours, and for continued years.” And yet, Phillips says, his home was filled with love, a reflection of his early life. Nick was the eldest of nine children. After his father died, he took over his father's store and helped to provide for his younger brothers and sisters – an experience Phillips says shaped his lifelong role as a father figure – not just within his family but across the region. “He has been in those arenas, leading in lots of different organizations and providing a voice for people from our region, or the lifestyle of the people of our region.” Nick had two twin passions, housing and education. He dedicated many years of his life to improving housing conditions in rural Alaska. Eventually, he became a national advocate for federal Indian housing programs and brought attention to the Third World conditions in Alaska villages. He also served on the Lower Kuskokwim School Board for two decades and became its longtime chairman. Steve O'Brien, a former school principal, remembers giving Nick a copy of Robert Rules of order to help him. “And he laughed, and he said, ‘Oh, I already have that book.' And he reached behind from the bookshelf, and he pulled down this very worn and earmarked copy of Robert's Rules with sticky pages and stuff. He was an expert about this stuff.” O'Brien says it is no surprise that Robert Nick was eventually asked to chair almost every board he served on. In 2014, Nick received an honorary Doctorate of Laws degree from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. (Courtesy Robert Nick family) Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

Send us Fan MailThe Majority Leader in the Alaska State House is Representative Chuck Kopp of South Anchorage. After a childhood in Iliamna and Kenai, he began a 23-year career in law enforcement, the last six as Chief of the Kenai Police Department. In 2010 he moved to Anchorage and began work as a legislative staffer, first to Senator Fred Dyson of Eagle River and later to Senator Peter Micciche of Kenai. In 2016 he successfully ran for the state house where he served for four years before losing the 2020 election to Rep. Tom McKay.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) There was no sign of progress in ceasefire talks between the US and Iran after the worst burst of violence in weeks. President Trump said ceasefire talks are in the “final” stages, while Iran’s foreign minister said the negotiations had stalled. Hezbollah militants rejected a US-brokered truce in Lebanon, with its chief calling the deal “absurd” and refusing to link its presence in Lebanon with stopping the war.2) The Senate passed a $69.5 billion bill to fund two immigration enforcement agencies over three years, resolving a months-long dispute. The bill includes $26 billion for Customs and Border Protection, $38.5 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and $5 billion for additional border support. The bill now heads to the House for a vote before being sent to President Donald Trump's desk for his signature.3) Russian President Vladimir Putin pushed back at prospects for European leaders to help negotiate an end to his war in Ukraine, dismissing them as mediators. Putin reiterated that he’d reached an agreement with President Trump on what he said was a compromise peace deal at their summit in Anchorage, and that EU states could play a role in ending the war by convincing Kyiv to agree to compromises. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy issued an open letter to Putin calling on him to meet directly to settle the war, and said that both Europe and the US should be part of the process of ending the war.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of Energy and Business from Must Read Alaska, host Todd sits down with John Hendrix — President and CEO of HEX LLC, Homer native, civil engineer, and recently named Outstanding Alaskan of the Year — for a clear-eyed conversation about Alaska's energy future. In “Powering Alaska from Within: HEX and the Cook Inlet Comeback,” John explains how HEX LLC, the only 100% Alaskan-owned and operated natural gas producer in the state, is delivering reliable, affordable energy to Railbelt homes, businesses, and military bases right now. Headquartered in Anchorage, HEX operates critical offshore and onshore infrastructure in the Kitchen Lights Unit and recently unified its operations under one strong HEX brand while committing to new drilling and continued investment. Listeners will hear the story behind HEX's acquisition of the once-struggling Kitchen Lights Unit, how local ownership and disciplined investment turned declining production around — including doubling output from the Allegra Leigh platform in 2025 — and why Cook Inlet's estimated 19 trillion cubic feet of natural gas represents a generational opportunity for Alaska energy security. John connects the dots between local resource development, keeping the lights on and heat flowing during critical winter months, and building a stronger, more self-reliant Alaska. He also shares an encouraging message for young Alaskans considering careers in energy and for policymakers who want to see more homegrown investment succeed. If you care about affordable energy, Alaska's resource sovereignty, and practical solutions that keep money and jobs in-state, this episode delivers straight talk from the operator proving that Alaskan solutions work best for Alaskans.   HEX LLC: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hex-ak/posts/?feedView=all   SPONSORS: Must Read Alaska: https://mustreadalaska.com/subscriptions/ Promo Code: energy for 10% off all our annual plans DRB Productions: https://centertix.com/events/beatles-vs-rolling-stones-musical-showdown Promo Code: London for MRAK subscribers

Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube Channel returns to the show with two chilling reported encounters from the Alaskan wilderness, each involving a large, aggressive, humanlike creature and witnesses forced to flee under terrifying circumstances.In the first account, Timothy, an aspiring bush pilot, flies from Anchorage to Big Lake in June before continuing by floatplane to a remote pond near a friend's cabin. While hiking a ridge late in the evening — despite the lingering daylight near 11 p.m. — Timothy is overcome by an intense feeling of unease. Moments later, he sees trees violently shaking, hears guttural clicks and eerie cackling sounds, and spots a massive dark figure he estimates to be 13 to 14 feet tall.The encounter escalates when the creature appears to throw the top half of a spruce tree in his direction. Timothy fires his shotgun, then empties his .44 Magnum at what he describes as a crouched, spider-crawling mass. The figure suddenly rises to its full height, lets out a horrifying scream, and Timothy makes a desperate escape back to his floatplane.The second account comes from brothers Derek and James, who describe a frightening 1979 trip along Alaska's Snake River. While traveling through dense fog, they hear a powerful whoop and soon see a dark shape rise up into a massive bipedal form. The encounter intensifies as rocks are thrown and the creature begins making strange, motor-like imitation sounds, forcing the brothers to flee. Family members later refer to the being as a “hairy man.”.Be sure to check out Fred's incredible work on the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube Channel by clicking the link below and exploring more of his videos.Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTubeEmail BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

(Jeff Chen / Courtesy The MMIWG2s Alaska Working Group) The issue of missing and murdered Indigenous people (MMIP) continues to impact families and communities across Alaska. This week, advocates, tribal leaders, law enforcement, and policymakers gathered in Anchorage for the state’s first Justice Summit to discuss solutions and next steps. KNBA’s Rhonda McBride reports. The gathering opened on an emotional note at the Dena'ina Center with a keynote speech from Abigail Echohawk, director of the Urban Indian Health Institute in Seattle, Wash. Echohawk was raised in the Interior Alaska community of Copper Center and spoke about her own trauma. “I was six years old the very first time I experienced rape. Sometimes, even now, as a person who sometimes gets triggered by the work that I do, I can close my eyes and feel the pain.” A pain that Echohawk says almost led her to take her own life at the age of nine. At the time, she did not know her father had contacted Alaska State Troopers. “We knew who the perpetrator was. The conversation that happened basically ended up like this: ‘She’s an Indian girl. We don’t have the resources, nor the time. Just keep him away from her.'” In 2018, Echohawk helped to publish a landmark study that examined more than 500 cases of missing and murdered Native women. She says the findings confirmed that more than one in five cases did not exist in law enforcement data bases. “So we actually found in this snapshot of 71 cities across the United States, that the data was not there, and it was in our minds, purposefully being held back and not being collected.” Echohawk says Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau were included in the study. She said law enforcement cited classification methods for the missing data – and what they described as “vulnerabilities in Native culture” – explanations that Echohawk says reflects systemic, racial bias. But whatever the reason, she says the lack of data has real consequences for Native communities — because it limits resources for investigations, healing and community safety. “This isn’t this isn’t a handout we’re asking for. This is justice we’re asking for.” The summit also featured breakout sessions from regional groups, who will discuss the status of MMIP cases in their region. The conference was organized by the Missing, Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit Alaska Working Group. It drew tribal representatives from across Alaska and as far away as New Zealand. Hopson II crew landed a whale on May 23, 2026 — the first spring whale for the community this year. (Photo: Chucky Panitchaiq Hopson II) Spring whaling is one of the most important traditions in Utqiagvik, but this year, unusual sea ice conditions delayed the harvest and the community did not land its first whale until late in the season. The Alaska Desk’s Alena Naiden from our flagship station KNBA reports. Chucky Panitchaiq Hopson had been whaling for about a month before he landed one this spring. “I told my crew, at our next opportunity we’re gonna take that chance. And that very same next day, we got on to that whale, and my crew didn’t hesitate to take it, to strike it.” By this point, Hopson says Alaska's largest subsistence whaling community has typically landed 10 or more, but this year, Hopson says the ice edge is ragged, with very few flat spots for pulling up a whale. And there is a lot of young, thin ice, too weak to hold big whales. In fact, when the crews were pulling up the 50-foot whale last weekend, some of the ice broke under it – Hopson thought they were going to lose a lot of the harvest. “Once it got to the thicker ice, we were able to get it up.” Daaqsi Moore was one of the hunters who helped the Hopson crew land the whale. “People were getting frustrated, you know. People get hungry for muktuk. It was good to see everybody’s spirits flip when Chucky landed that whale.” Utqiagvik, like other coastal Arctic communities in Alaska, relies on whaling as a crucial food source and to maintain Iñupiat traditions. Andy Mahoney is a research professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks' Geophysical Institute. Mahoney says that normally, young ice forms earlier in the year. Then wind storms push the new ice against the existing, shorefast ice to create ridges. By whaling season, the ice consolidates and thickens. “The key part of it is timing.” This winter was quite cold in Utqiagvik, but the Arctic overall is warming faster than the rest of the world. “In a warming Arctic, these sorts of events are going to become more likely. Conditions will be more sensitive to a sort of a mistimed storm if the ice is already thin.” Hopson says that after landing the whale, his crew spent two days processing it on the ice. Then they shared some of the harvest with the community – a little taste before the big whaling festival that usually happens later in the summer. On Thursday, Hopson was headed out to the ice again. He says he really hopes that first whale will not be their only one of the season. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

In this newscast: Thousands of people will converge in Juneau next week to dance, sing and showcase their Indigenous culture; More than 100 Sitkans gathered at the Starrigavan boat launch Thursday morning for a blessing and send-off of the “Ancestral Echoes” canoe heading to Celebration in Juneau. Lingít elders Ed Peele and Harvey Kitka offered a blessing accompanied by drumming and singing before the 12 paddlers got into the red, blue, and black canoe to leave on their five-day journey to the capital city; The state's first Justice Summit for Alaska's missing and murdered Indigenous people got underway in Anchorage on Wednesday with a call to push harder for healing, learning, and action; Oil prices are going up because of the war in Iran, and in turn, the price of plane tickets has increased. Some of the hardest hit passengers are those in Unalaska, an 800-mile plane ride from Anchorage; May in Utqiagvik means whaling. But the community just landed its first spring whale last weekend, very late in the season.

In this episode of UFO Warning, we dive into a series of intriguing UFO sightings reported across Alaska, featuring eyewitness accounts from Anchorage, Kasilof, Diamond Ridge, and the Matanuska-Susitna Valley. These reports describe hovering orbs, glowing lights, triangular craft, color-changing aerial objects, and unexplained maneuvers that defy conventional explanations.Witnesses report bright white, orange, red, blue, and green lights appearing night after night, moving in formation, hovering motionless, accelerating at incredible speeds, and even seemingly vanishing and reappearing. One observer describes a V-shaped craft with five lights that appeared to "skip" through the sky, while another recounts a spinning orb over Cook Inlet that changed size and color before disappearing. Other reports detail glowing objects forming triangular patterns, emerging from seemingly empty sky, and maintaining consistent schedules over multiple consecutive nights.Are these sightings evidence of advanced military technology, atmospheric anomalies, misidentified aircraft, or something truly unknown? We examine the witness testimony, compare similarities across the reports, and explore why Alaska continues to be one of America's most fascinating UFO hotspots.If you're interested in UFOs, UAPs, alien encounters, government disclosure, unexplained mysteries, and real eyewitness reports, this episode is one you won't want to miss.

In this installment of “Ask Me Anything,” Pastor Luke addressed four questions. This message was delivered in gathered worship on Sunday, May 31, 2026 at Jewel Lake Parish in Anchorage, Alaska. TIMESTAMPS 00:14 how many Presbyterians signed the Declaration of Independence? 03:02 what is the Abomination of Desolation? 11:16 is the "fear of the Lord" really "fear" or something else? 16:06 what are your thoughts on Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens (Note: In answering the second question, Pastor Luke misattributed some ways that Antiochus IV profaned the Temple with how Pompey profaned it. Daniel might have foreseen either, or both, or something else entirely.) Pastor Luke looks at 2 Chronicles 17:10 in "Ask Me Anything."

It's Wednesday, May 27th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Canadian group penalized for targeting Christians LifeSiteNews reports that an activist group in Canada recently lost its government funding after being exposed for targeting Christians. The Canadian Anti-Hate Network gets hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer funding each year. Conservative lawmakers have called out the group for its hostility to Christians and pro-lifers.  Campaign Life Coalition posted on X, “The Canadian Anti-Hate Network is reportedly out of Canadian Heritage funding. This is welcome news. For years, Canadians have been forced to subsidize an activist organization that has helped fuel suspicion and hostility toward Christians, pro-lifers, and other peaceful citizens.” Only 34 percent of Canadians say Bible is authoritative Lifeway Research released its new State of Theology in Canada Study. The survey found 51 percent of Canadians say that religious belief is not about objective truth. Only 34 percent believe the Bible has the authority to tell us what we must do.  A majority of Canadian adults believe God accepts the worship of all religions, that most people are good by nature, and that the Bible is not literally true.  Scott McConnell, executive director of Lifeway Research, noted, “For most Canadians, the Bible's teaching on how to live is only as convincing as the Bible itself. When half openly doubt the Bible, it is not surprising that the majority disagree with the Bible on how it says to live.” Proverbs 29:18 says, “Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law.” Alaska could expand access to Abortion Kill Pill In the United States, Alaska passed legislation last week that could expand access to the Abortion Kill Pill. House Bill 195 would allow pharmacists to prescribe drugs to individuals, not just administer them.  Pat Martin is the director of Alaska Right to Life. He warned that the measure would “expand Chemical Abortion (Mifepristone) access from Anchorage and Fairbanks Planned Parenthood sites to virtually every city, town, and village that has a hospital, clinic, or pharmacy.” Romans 3:15-18 says, “Their feet are swift to shed blood; in their paths are ruin and misery, and the way of peace they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes.” Hawaiian officials in hot water for censoring free speech Officials in Hawaii agreed to pay over $100,000 to settle a free speech lawsuit last week. The Babylon Bee sued the state over its law that censored online political speech. The Christian news satire site won a similar case in California last year with the help of Alliance Defending Freedom. Seth Dillon, the CEO of The Babylon Bee, commented on the recent victory in Hawaii. He said, “This settlement marks yet another victory for the First Amendment and for anyone who values the right to speak freely on political matters without government interference.” Buying power of U.S. workers fell by 3% Pew Research released a report on American wages compared to the rising cost of living. In the past 20 years, wages have outpaced inflation. Based on the Consumer Price Index, the median wage's real buying power grew by 12.1 percent between 1999 and 2025.  However, over the past five years, the buying power of median wages actually fell by over three percent. This aligns with record inflation levels in recent years.  Weekly churchgoers have better mental health And finally, the Wheatley Institute published a report entitled, “The Religion and Mental Health Connection.” The report reviewed thousands of studies linking religion to better mental health by a 10-to 1 ratio. Studies found the rates of suicide, depression, and anxiety were lower among people who attended religious services. This was especially true for people who attended services at least weekly.  The report stated, “It is not nominal affiliation, but committed religious involvement that appears to matter most.” Hebrews 10:23-25 says to Christians, "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, May 27th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Welcome back to another chaotic and hilarious episode of SHENK! This week, Sarah Wine-Shank sits down with the brilliantly funny comedian, Dylan Carlino (host of the 'Feeling Girly' podcast). In this episode, Dylan shares his unforgettable out-of-body experience meeting Demi Lovato in first class and why he feels spiritually connected to the Olsen twins.  Sarah and Dylan dig deep into the stark differences between the comedy scenes in Austin and LA, the toxic green room dynamics at Joe Rogan's Comedy Mothership, and the brutal reality of gay dating apps. From childhood weight struggles and body dysmorphia to deep-cut pop culture takes on Sydney Sweeney, Euphoria Season 3, and Amber Heard—nothing is off-limits.

I am always intrigued by people who can't seem to color inside the lines. Most of us are law-abiding citizens. We might get a traffic ticket occasionally or march in protest against a law or action we think is wrong, but we usually play by the rules. Then there are those who skirt the law at every opportunity. The worst of these are sociopaths, and I've written about several who were serial killers. John Martin III committed at least one despicable crime, but most of the time, he just seemed to follow a difficult path through life, doing things many of us would describe as “crazy.” He likely had a mental illness, and I doubt many were surprised when he met with a violent end.

Trump just signed his biggest crypto executive order yet, giving the Fed 120 days to evaluate opening payment rails to Coinbase, Kraken, Circle, Ripple, and Anchorage. The move could break the bank monopoly on Fed plumbing right as Bitcoin sits at $76K after $1B in ETF outflows and $660M in liquidations. Add Warren's attack on OCC crypto charters, JPMorgan saying Bitcoin ETFs are recovering 2X faster than Ethereum, Goldman dumping XRP and Solana for Hyperliquid, and the SEC readying tokenized stocks, and you have one of the most pivotal weeks of the cycle.

(Rhonda McBride / Courtesy Melvin Hunt) Anchorage Police say they are in the final stages of their investigation into the death of Kelly Hunt, the 19-year-old Shaktoolik student who disappeared in January on her way to college in Soldotna, as Rhonda McBride from our flagship station KNBA reports. Hunt's remains were found last month in a ravine in same Anchorage neighborhood where she had been staying with a friend. Anchorage Police Chief Sean Case says the Medical Examiner's preliminary report determined Hunt died from hypothermia and exposure, with alcohol in her system. “There's no indication that there's physical trauma. There's no indication that an assault has occurred. So, most of those questions — on whether-or-not there was a homicide — those questions have been answered through the Medical Examiner's process.” Case says Hunt was missing for more than 100 days, and due to prolonged exposure to the elements, he says it is nearly impossible to determine Hunt's exact time of death. Before closing out the investigation, Case says police will conduct follow-up interviews to learn more about the circumstances leading up to her death. Based on the outcome of those interviews, Case says the investigation could shift back towards a criminal case. He calls Hunt's death a tragedy, but says there is no evidence of a crime. Hunt was supposed to catch a bus from Anchorage to attend the Alaska Christian College in Soldotna, Alaska. Her friends told police she left on the morning of January 7 to meet with someone to buy alcohol and had left her purse and suitcase behind. Case says the investigation was further complicated, because her disappearance was not reported until four days later, but despite that, Case believes his police officers and detectives did a thorough job. But advocates for Missing and Murdered Indigenous People, including Antonia Commack, question police handling of the case. She says investigators are drawing conclusions too soon, without first questioning the people who last saw Hunt.” “How are you going to make that determination before you speak to those people. Because the bottom line is, she is not old enough to drink herself. Somebody furnished her alcohol and she wound up dead. That should be a crime.” The Anchorage Police Department timed their report on the Kelly Hunt case with the launch of a new online dashboard that tracks missing persons iAnchorage and the department's homicide clearance rate. Case says the report confirms that Alaska Natives make up a disproportionate share of both missing persons and homicides, but says cases involving both Native and non-Native victims are solved at about the same rate.

(Photo: Ryan Heinsius / KNAU) The company that owns a uranium mine near the Grand Canyon wants Arizona state regulators to approve a higher arsenic level in nearby groundwater. KNAU's Chris Clements reports at least two scientists oppose the idea. Brad Esser used to work for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. He was asked by a nonprofit that opposes Energy Fuels' Pinyon Plain Mine mine to look into the request. “It sets the wrong incentive. You know, the response to high levels … is to try to understand what’s going on, not just simply raise the permit levels.” But Energy Fuels says the higher arsenic levels are naturally occurring in groundwater near the mine, and are not because of mining activity. Curtis Moore is a company executive. “It’s not surprising that there are elevated levels of arsenic next to this ore body. That’s why we put a mine there, because there’s an ore body there.” But Esser and another scientist argue it is more likely the mine is contributing to the high levels. “They think the mine's ventilation shafts could be creating oxygen-rich groundwater, causing arsenic minerals to dissolve. If that's true, Esser worries arsenic could one day reach the Havasuapi Tribe's key source of drinking water.” Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.
