This week we hope to gain an insight on Grassroot Communities and the challenges faced by underserved communities and the wider voluntary sector. In an era of rising inequality, political polarisation, and climate instability, grassroots organisations are becoming critical pillars of resilience, not just locally, but globally. Today we explore how hyper-local community action intersects with global risk trends. From youth mental health to climate resilience and institutional trust, grassroots organisations are absorbing the fallout from geopolitical instability, austerity, and fractured public infrastructure. We'll unpack how these organisations are adapting under pressure, and what their struggle tells us about state fragility, systemic failure, and the strategic risks we're ignoring.Ben Carpenter is the Founder & CEO of Grassroot Communities, a Youth and Community worker, Educator, Environmentalist, and City Fellow. He's passionate about supporting individuals, communities and organisations to be the changes they want to see.If you are interested in this, Grassroot Communities have an upcoming event called: The Bristol Birdman.

Today we get to dive into the current fiscal crisis in Alaska with former Representative and now statewide podcast host Ben Carpenter. In hour two we'll recap with some of my thoughts and more.

In this episode of the Must Read Alaska Show, host Ben Carpenter welcomes Bernadette Wilson of Repeal Now Alaska to discuss the second effort to overturn Alaska's ranked choice voting (RCV) system. They begin by defining RCV—how it replaced traditional closed primaries with an open “jungle primary” advancing the top four candidates and then allowing voters to rank their top four choices in a multi-round count—and critiquing its complexity and disenfranchisement of voters. Wilson explains the legal and logistical steps required for repeal: gathering just under 35,000 valid signatures from at least 35 of Alaska's 40 house districts and submitting them by mid-January 2026 to qualify for the 2026 election. She outlines the statewide network of regional signature gatherers, the need for financial contributions to cover mailing and reporting costs, and the importance of correctly matching petition signatures and addresses to voter registration records. The conversation closes with a call to action for listeners to visit Repeal Now Alaska's website: repealnowak.com or Facebook page to sign the petition, volunteer as signature gatherers, and donate—even small amounts help cover the cost of mailing petition books. The episode underscores the coalition's commitment to a clear, straightforward voting process and encourages Alaskans—and interested non-residents—to get involved.

A Michigan Supreme Court is considering who has the rights of a frozen embryo created using in-vitro fertilization after a couple gets divorced. The case involves Sarah and David Markiewicz who turned to egg donation and IVF to have children. Since 2019, the couple has been at odds on what would happen to their remaining embryo and after five years of legal battles the state's highest court is deciding on the matter. GUESTS: Bonsitu Kitaba, a deputy legal director at the American Liberties Union of Michigan, co-author of an amicus brief filed in support of David Markiewicz. Ben Carpenter, associate Professor of Law at the University of St. Thomas School of Law. Carpenter’s scholarship on the effects of assisted reproductive technologies in estate planning and family law has been widely cited in Sarah Markiewicz' court filings.

In this episode of the Must Read Alaska Show, host Ben Carpenter and guest Randy Ruaro focus on the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority's (AIDEA) landmark court win in Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority v. Department of Interior, which declared the Biden administration's cancellation of oil and gas leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) illegal, reinstating AIDEA's leases and opening the door for development under the Trump administration. They discuss how this victory could unlock billions in state and federal revenue from ANWR's vast oil reserves, while addressing ongoing challenges like federal permitting delays and environmental opposition that have hindered such projects. Beyond the court case, they explore AIDEA's broader mission, rooted in Alaska's constitutional mandate to develop resources for public benefit, which includes supporting both large-scale resource initiatives and small businesses. The conversation also touches on opportunities in critical minerals and other sectors, underscoring AIDEA's role in driving sustainable economic growth and job creation for Alaskans while meeting global energy demands and national security priorities.

In this exciting episode of the "Must Read Alaska Show" podcast, host Ben Carpenter dives deep into Alaska's pension debate with Ryan Frost and Mariana Trujillo from the Reason Foundation. They break down the major issues surrounding Senate Bill 78 (SB 78), which proposes returning Alaska's public pension system to a costly defined benefit plan. The discussion kicks off with a fast-paced explanation of the differences between defined benefit (DB) and defined contribution (DC) systems. While DB plans offer a fixed retirement income, they've become unsustainable for many states and companies. Alaska's pension system, still $7 billion in debt, is a perfect example of why DB systems are risky and expensive. Frost and Trujillo slam the notion that SB 78 will boost public employee recruitment and retention, pointing out that Alaska's public sector turnover is actually below the national average! They reveal that the proposed switch to a DB system would make retirement worse for most employees, despite adding billions in costs to the state. Rather than returning to an outdated, expensive pension model, they argue Alaska should focus on strengthening its current DC system, potentially improving it for police and fire workers, while avoiding a massive pension crisis. With SB 78's sky-high costs, Alaska needs to think smarter—before it faces an even bigger financial headache. This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about Alaska's financial future!

In this episode of the Must Read Alaska Show, host Ben Carpenter—former legislator and combat veteran—moderates a deep dive into Alaska's long-standing fiscal challenges with guests Senator Mike Shower and Representative Kevin McCabe. The conversation revolves around the state's structural budget deficit, the volatility of oil revenues, and the erosion of the original intent behind the Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD). Together, the lawmakers explore the urgent need for a comprehensive fiscal plan, including spending caps, government downsizing, and potential tax reforms. They caution against continued reliance on federal funds and the Permanent Fund, warning that a government unaccountable to its citizens threatens individual liberty. The episode is a candid, sometimes sobering, discussion on the lack of political will and leadership, the influence of public sector unions, and the uphill battle to re-engage Alaskans in the governance of their state.

In this compelling episode of the Must Read Alaska Show, host Ben Carpenter welcomes Donna Anderson, a retired educator and the Kenai Chapter Chair for Moms for Liberty, to discuss the pressing issues facing Alaska's education system.   With over 30 years of involvement in the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District as a teacher, substitute, parent, and grandparent, Donna brings a wealth of firsthand experience to the conversation. She opens up about her decision to retire after 26 years of teaching, driven by frustration with inconsistent policies, questionable curriculum choices like Core Knowledge Language Arts (CKLA), and a growing disconnect between district leadership and classroom realities.   Now, as a leader in Moms for Liberty—a national organization dedicated to empowering parents and holding government accountable—Donna is channeling her passion into grassroots advocacy. She sheds light on overcrowded classrooms, controversial age-inappropriate content, and the district's failure to address teacher burnout or conduct exit interviews to understand why educators and families are leaving. From her regular presence at school board meetings to her role in launching a statewide legislative committee, Donna explains how Moms for Liberty is mobilizing concerned parents, grandparents, and even dads across Alaska's four chapters (Fairbanks, Mat-Su, Anchorage, and Kenai Peninsula) to demand transparency and better outcomes for students.   Listeners will gain insight into the challenges of curriculum rushed into implementation, the financial waste of unused materials, and the broader cultural and policy shifts needed to retain both students and teachers. Whether you're a parent, educator, or citizen seeking solutions, this episode offers a candid look at the state of public education and a roadmap for getting involved. Contact Donna at moms4libertykpen@gmail.com or 907-252-7207 to join the effort, or visit momsforliberty.org to connect with a chapter near you and “find your people.”

In this compelling episode of the Must Read Alaska Show, host Ben Carpenter welcomes Alaska State Representative Sarah Vance, who represents District 6 out of Homer, for an in-depth look at the Alaska State Legislature's current session. Recorded on March 3, 2025, this conversation unpacks the bills that have landed in House Finance—a key indicator of legislative priorities—45 days into the session. From the recently passed Railroad Corporation Financing bill to proposals like increased education funding, e-cigarette taxes, and defined benefits for public employees, Rep. Vance breaks down what's moving and why. She highlights a recurring theme: a government-centric focus that seems to prioritize public sector interests over the needs of everyday Alaskans.   Rep. Vance doesn't shy away from tough questions, challenging the status quo of “business as usual” in Juneau. She critiques the lack of education policy reforms tied to the proposed $1,000 Base Student Allocation (BSA) increase, which could balloon the education budget by 43% over three years, and questions how Alaskans will foot the bill—potentially through a shrinking Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) or new taxes. With passion and clarity, she connects the dots between a stifled economy, social issues like domestic violence, and the need for a legislature that champions liberty and self-reliance over dependency on federal dollars or government expansion.   Beyond the numbers, Vance shares her personal legislative efforts, including bills to combat human trafficking and obscene child sex material—measures aimed at real-world safety rather than government growth—though they remain stalled in committee. She urges Alaskans to stay engaged, emphasizing that public outcry is critical to driving reform, reducing waste, and refocusing the state on economic vitality and independence. Listeners will also hear her frustration with the lack of will to cut inefficiencies (like unfilled government positions) and her call for a mindset shift away from begging for federal handouts toward leveraging Alaska's vast resources.   Join Ben and Sarah for an authentic, no-holds-barred update from the heart of “Stinky Juneau,” peeling back the layers of the onion in a capital that's hard to access and harder to influence.

In this episode of The Must Read Alaska Show, host Ben Carpenter welcomes Alaska State Representative Will Stapp for an in-depth discussion on the pressing financial and legislative issues facing the state. At the heart of the conversation is House Bill 69, a controversial proposal to significantly increase education funding—without a clear plan to pay for it. Rep. Stapp explains the political maneuvering surrounding the bill, the challenges of balancing Alaska's budget, and the broader implications for taxpayers. Beyond education, they explore the state's looming fiscal cliff, the growing tension between spending and taxation, and the need for programmatic cuts to ensure responsible governance. Rep. Stapp also shares details on his efforts to repeal outdated government programs, his proposed constitutional amendment to cap spending based on private sector GDP, and even the grassroots push to designate an official state dinosaur. With candid insights and behind-the-scenes legislative updates, this episode is a must-listen for Alaskans wanting to understand where their tax dollars are going and what the future holds for the state's economy. Tune in for a deep dive into Alaska's financial challenges, political dynamics, and a few surprises along the way!

In this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast, we dive into the quirky charm of Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985), a film that not only captured the essence of the 1980s but also became a pop culture touchstone. Blending childhood innocence with the decade's irreverent humor, it launched Tim Burton's directorial career and solidified Paul Reubens' Pee-wee Herman as an iconic figure. Join Tim Williams and his guest co-hosts Ben Carpenter & Laramy Wells as they discuss Pee-wee's absurd cross-country quest to recover his stolen bike, exploring its vivid visuals, eccentric characters, and lasting influence on comedy, fashion, and filmmaking. Grab your light grey suit and red bow tie, and tune in for a nostalgic trip back to this offbeat classic! Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode: The "Mr. T" cereal eaten by Pee-Wee actually existed. It was not something made up for the film. After seeing the finished product, the studio wasn't so sure it wanted to put much more money behind Pee-wee's Big Adventure. Finding it all a bit bizarre, they decided to roll the film out slowly and on a regional basis. Warner cranked up the publicity machine When it proved popular with even a limited audience. By the time all was said and done, Pee-wee had earned nearly $41 million at the box office.

Today we are deep in the chat with two of the most conservative legislators (and former) that we have in Alaska. Discussions on Education, Benefits and AKLNG. Tune in!

You won't find this forgotten 80s Flick archived in the Smithsonian or on any list of Oscar-winning films. However, for thousands, maybe even millions, of Americans who grew up in the 1980s, it still holds a significant place in their cultural memory. It may be where they learned to curse, learned about love, and were introduced to the charm of country music superstar, Kenny Rogers. The premise may seem absurd in hindsight. A washed-up race car driver, looking for a second chance, catches some kids stealing auto parts in a small Texas town. After giving chase, he discovers they are orphans who are better at repairing race cars than staying out of trouble. A corrupt local sheriff then pursues Kenny and the kids, leading to a healthy mix of humor and drama.  So load up the camper, turn down your belt-buckle radio, and shake the dew off your Lilly as Tim Williams and guest co-hosts Chris Adams and Ben Carpenter discuss “Six Pack” from 1982 on this special bonus episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast.

Get ready for chills as we revisit a classic that doesn't rely on superhuman slashers or crazed killers but still managed to freeze audiences in fear. "Poltergeist" (1982) tells the story of an ordinary suburban family haunted by supernatural forces that tap into our deepest fears. From a clown doll that springs to life, to a closet that becomes a portal to another dimension, and a tree that breaks through a bedroom window, the terror builds. But nothing is more unsettling than a young girl calmly pressing her hands against a flickering TV screen and announcing: "They're here..." Join Tim Williams, Ben Carpenter, and Bethany Wells as they slide across the kitchen floor, grab a raw steak from the fridge, and dive into why this PG-rated fright fest has haunted HBO viewers since the 80s. Does it still give them the creeps? Tune in to this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast to find out! Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode: Dr. Lesh states in the movie that the paranormal activity in the Freeling home is likely caused by a poltergeist, rather than a haunting. This is because poltergeists are typically linked to a specific person, while hauntings are associated with a particular location. However, this assessment proves to be incorrect when Steven discovers that the house was built on a cemetery, indicating that the phenomenon is actually a haunting and not a poltergeist. The sound effect for the beast that attacks the house at the end of the movie is the source for the MGM lion roar. Poltergeist's special effects and score were both nominated for Oscars but lost to Spielberg's bigger film, "E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial", in both categories.

John Hughes is known for making popular movies about teenagers in the 1980s. He started as a National Lampoon's Magazine writer and then began writing scripts in 1979. In 1984, he directed "Sixteen Candles". The next year, he directed two well-known movies, "The Breakfast Club" and this 80s flick. Many people think "The Breakfast Club" is better, but this one is special because it mixes comedy with science fiction. The movie is about two unpopular boys in high school who use a computer to create the "perfect woman." The woman they create, Lisa, is beautiful and has magical powers. This leads to many funny and exciting situations. If you'd like to hear more about "Weird Science" from 1985, you can listen to this podcast episode with Tim Williams and guest co-hosts Ben Carpenter, Darby Mirocha, and Laramy Wells. Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode: The pianist at the party, played by Kym Malin, did her own stunts, which were quite elaborate. For the scene, Malin was attached to a scaffold and lifted up the chimney where a large vacuum tore her clothes off. After that, a crane lifted her out of the chimney and dropped her into the backyard swimming pool. The film went by some very different titles in different movie markets across the globe. In Japan, the film was called "Electric Venus", in Germany, it was named "Cool Magic with Lisa". In Denmark, it was released as "Touch Me, I'm Yours", while in Finland and Sweden, the film was known as "Dream Woman".

To the children of the '80s, the only thing cooler than the idea of space camp is the idea behind this forgotten 80's flick, in which Lea Thompson, Joaquin Phoenix, and their fellow teen team members must figure out how to land an actual space shuttle after a freak accident at NASA's Kennedy Space Center launches them into outer space. It could have been one of the biggest movies of 1986 but then tragedy happened. When the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded in January of 86, so did the film's marketing plan and hopes of blockbuster status. But thanks to VHS and HBO, it eventually found its audience and inspired future scientists, pilots and even astronauts.  So climb in the Space Shuttle, buckle up, and watch the oxygen levels as Tim Williams and guest co-hosts, Jeff Atkins, Ben Carpenter, and Nicholas Pepin (from "Pop Culture Roulette Podcast") discuss “SpaceCamp” from 1986 on this special bonus episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast. Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover on this episode: The footage of the Space Shuttle Orbiter landing is from Challenger touching down at the conclusion of STS-8. This was the first night landing of the Space Shuttle program. In earlier drafts of the storyline, a Russian shuttle is sent up to rescue the American kids. At the end of the film, it was to be revealed that Russian kids had rescued the American kids.

Before writer-director Philip Kaufman brought Tom Wolfe's best-selling book to the big screen in 1983, astronauts in movies were often just alien hunters or asteroid chasers. But under Kaufman's direction, spaceflight became a deeply human endeavor, focusing on inner strength rather than external threats. This 80s flick, which runs for over three hours and features an unconventional structure, tells the story of test pilots like Chuck Yeager and Gordon Cooper as they break the sound barrier and America ventures into the “Space Race” with Russia. Kaufman himself described it as “the longest movie ever made without a plot.” So get ready to take flight and orbit Earth as Tim Williams and guest co-hosts Jeff Atkins, Ben Carpenter, and Darby Mirocha discuss “The Right Stuff” from 1983 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast. Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover on this episode: Some were concerned that when this film was released it would help propel John Glenn, then a U.S. Senator from Ohio, into the Presidency. Newsweek Magazine had a cover story about it. Although Glenn ran for President in 1984, he lost the Democratic nomination to Walter Mondale.

It's easy to see why this 80s Flick resonated at the time. Layoffs in traditionally American male workplaces, especially the auto industry, had landed innumerable men on their living room couches - a stark contrast to the seventies when a total of six men reported being stay-at-home dads in America. That's right, just six. This resulted in many of their wives having to head into the workplace themselves to help make ends meet, but it also meant these men were forced to tackle domestic responsibilities previously foreign to them. You know, like their kids. For those of us who grew up in the eighties, a movie like this was a staple of cable TV. It's popularity coincided with the rise of HBO and Home Video rentals, so it was in constant rotation in a lot of households. It was also the launching point for stardom for its lead actor, Michael Keaton, and original screenwriter, John Hughes. So grab your woobie, hide the chili from the baby, and get ready to make some home improvements (220, 221…whatever it takes) as Ben Carpenter and I discuss “Mr. Mom” from 1983 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast. Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover on this episode: The discussion between Jack and factory workers about the movie Rocky where Jack says "when you're down, you're not necessarily out." A worker then imitates the Rocky theme song. Jack later heeds his own advice, and his turnaround montage uses the Rocky theme song. In the scene where Jeffrey Tambor's character fires the engineers, he reassures them that "you guys are terrific engineers. You're too good not to catch on somewhere." Michael Keaton's character Jack replies, "Where are we gonna catch on? Nagasaki?" Three years later Keaton starred in “Gung Ho”, a film which opened with his character, an automotive factory foreman, traveling to Japan to convince a Japanese automaker to reopen the factory. This film wasn't released until a year or two later in some countries as in 1983 Michael Keaton was an unknown outside the USA and although Terri Garr was slightly better known, she wasn't considered a big enough name to carry the film. By the mid 1980s Keaton had a couple of moderate size hit films behind him so the film finally crept out into some cinemas or onto video.

Shrinking someone down in order to inject them into someone else, is an absurd movie concept! Producer Steven Spielberg and director Joe Dante knew this, so rather than maintain the bland seriousness of 1966's “Fantastic Voyage”, they decided to have fun with it, and made a better movie because of it.  Lt. Tuck Pendleton, a daring Navy pilot, volunteers for a miniaturization experiment that becomes hijacked by industrial spies. He is accidentally injected into the body of a hypochondriac grocery clerk named Jack Putter. Inside Jack's body, Tuck must navigate through his host's bloodstream to survive and eventually reverse the process. With the help of Tuck's girlfriend, Lydia, the trio get tangled up in technological espionage to defeat some inept and unlikely arms dealers. So get ready to shrink down, laugh it up, and twist the night away as Tim Williams and guest co-hosts, Ben Carpenter and Nicholas Pepin, discuss “Innerspace” from 1987 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast. Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover on this episode: This is the only film directed by Joe Dante to win an Academy Award. It won the Best Visual Effects award. Before the Scrimshaw meeting, Picardo's voice was overdubbed with Martin Short's. During the meeting, Picardo used his own voice (with a Short-esque lilt), as the filmmakers didn't think Short "trying" the Cowboy's voice would be convincing enough to make the scene work.

Today we'll start off in hour one with the headlines, including the story about the AK Supreme Court saying no to the stay on the Homeschooling program. We'll discuss this and more. Then in hour two we'll visit with Rep Ben carpenter about the session, the good the bad and the really ugly.

Donna Arduin is most well known in Alaska as Governor Dunleavy's 2019 director of the Office of Management and Budget. She is currently staff for representative Ben Carpenter of Nikiski. As Dunleavy's OMB Director, she advised major cuts to the state budget including eliminating the state ferry system, dismantling the University of Alaska, and drastically cutting funding for the K-12 public education system. Prior to her work in Alaska, she earned a reputation as a "budget fixer" for her work with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in California, Governors Jeb Bush and Rick Scott in Florida, Governor George Pataki in New York, and most recently with Governor Greg Gianforte in Montana.She is the President of the consulting firm Ardoin, Laffer Moore, which she founded 20 years ago with the man known as the father of supply side economics, Arthur Laffer. Supply side economics is the theory that economic growth can most effectively be fostered by lowering taxes, decreasing government regulation, and allowing more free trade.

Today we cover a bunch of headlines and discuss some issues that are on my mind. Then in hour two we'll sit down with Rep Ben Carpenter and discuss his new bill labeled as the "Education Bill of Rights".

In the early 1980s baseball films were rare with the most notable being the 1976 comedy The Bad News Bears. However Barry Levinson's 1984 Oscar nominated flick sparked a resurgence leading to over 18 baseball themed films in the next decade. On the surface it appears as a traditional sports biopic, but it reveals deeper, almost artistic layers upon closer examination. It trancends mere athletic drama to become a quenissentially American fable and a crowd-pleasing fairytale. The story follows Roy Hobbs, a gifted baseball player whose career is tragically derailed. Years later reappears and an aging outfielder for the fictional New York Knights. Armed with his mystical bat, “Wonderboy”. As Hobbs propels the underdog team towards victory, he confront his past and battles and formadible challenges, embodying the drama and spirit of America's beloved game in a narrative of redemption and myth. So grab some peanuts and cracker jack to snack on as Tim Williams and guest c0-hosts, Nicholas Pepin and Ben Carpenter discuss “The Natural” from 1984 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast. Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover on this episode: Although big league baseball players at the turn of the 20th century sported long hair, handlebar mustaches, and pork chop side burns, it had changed by the time of this story. The strict edict of the day from the Commissioner of Baseball required a player to possess a clean shaven countenance. This continued up to the early 1970s and included everyone; even the Black and Latin American prospects were compelled to comply, and yet, Manager Pop Fisher and coach Red Blow both sport thick walrus mustaches. Glenn Close's initial appearance at the ballpark was carefully planned to give her the appearance of a guardian angel. They waited until a clear day, when the setting sun would be just at the right spot in the background to shine through her translucent hat, making it appear as a halo around her head.

The first "Jaws" movie, directed by a young up-and-comer named Steven Spielberg, is a masterpiece; an incredibly tense, well-made, and well-acted film that created the summer blockbuster as we know it and changed the movie business forever. The first sequel, Jaws 2, can't reach the heights of the original but it was a respectable enough follow-up. Then there's this 80s flick! Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, again! Set at Florida's Sea World, the plot centers on a group of courageous individuals who must band together to confront a colossal menace lurking beneath the waves. When the underwater tunnels become the hunting ground for a massive shark, chaos at the park ensues, and survival becomes priority number one in a battle against this ultimate predator. So grab your classic 3-D glasses, meet us at the underwater observation deck and don't forget to turn on the pressure tubes as Tim Williams and guest co-hosts Tyra Williams and Ben Carpenter discuss “Jaws 3-D” from 1983 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast. Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode: The Brody brothers (Sean and Mike) are the only two characters that appear in all four Jaws movies. They are also played by different actors in every installment. Unlike the previous two, or subsequent, Jaws films, the shark in Jaws 3 only surfaces once throughout the entire film. Excluding shots of the shark's fin, the only time it breaches the surface of the water is when it attacks and injures Lea Thompson's character Kelly Ann.
