The deadliest marine disaster on the west coast of North America occurred in Lynn Canal on October 24, 1918, but few people have ever heard of it. Approximately 345 people died when the SS Princess Sophia slid off Vanderbilt Reef and sank. Did the captain's recklessness cause the disaster, and did his poor decision-making doom the passengers and crew of the Princess Sophia? Sources SS Princess Sophia Expedition.

Today on the Morning Edition, eight lives lost when a charter plane goes down in remote western Alaska. We'll show you the area where it crashed and what investigators are doing now to learn what went wrong. And later, that was the first thought a Kodiak woman had when her casual walk turned into a fight for survival. How her dog jumped into action and what she says saved her from the 800-pound bear.

When an 800-pound Kodiak brown bear charged out of the brush on Tuesday, Katelynn Lane had only seconds to react. Faced with a mother bear protective of her cubs, Lane says a split-second defensive position inspired by her martial arts training may have saved her life.

A plane crashed near Cape Newenham Long Range Radar Site Airport, about 450 miles west of Anchorage. Sam Harrel with the Alaska Division of Forestry confirmed by phone Wednesday that the Mukluk fire grew to the northwest and east on Wednesday, bringing the total burned area to approximately 6,756 acres.  When an 800-pound Kodiak brown bear charged out of the brush on Tuesday, Katelynn Lane had only seconds to react.  

Many people dream of hunting in the Alaska wilderness, and for most, it is the adventure of a lifetime. However, a few unlucky hunters never return from their adventure. As I've said many times, Alaska is big, rugged, and beautiful but also dangerous, from raging rivers to high seas to rugged mountains and ice fields marred by deep crevasses. Moose, bears, and wolves all present risks, and the extreme cold in the winter can cause frostbite or hypothermia in a matter of minutes.

Beau Martonik sits down with Adam Foss, the youngest bowhunter to complete the North American sheep slam and a photographer and filmmaker. Adam grew up west of Calgary in an archery only zone, killed his first ram at 18, and says his main focus right now is backpack hunting stone sheep with a bow in northern BC. Most of this conversation is about the mental side of hard hunts. Adam is upfront that he's never run the numbers on his own sheep success, but figures it might be under five percent, and he thinks the pressure to define a hunt by whether you killed something is something we build in our own heads. He walks through how he keeps himself in a trip on day eight when the pull to go home gets loud, the 20 steps and five breaths method he and his wife used packing a ram uphill through shale, and why he thinks any of this applies just as well to elk hunting, running a marathon, or being around more for your family. Also covered: the SITKA photo contest where he critiqued Beau's finalist photo back in 2017, a mountain goat he shot at 31 or 32 yards on Kodiak Island in a whiteout with his hood covering one eye, the whitetail does he ground out on pressured southern BC public land on the last day of the season two years running, and Migrate, the travel and bowhunting company he launched with his hunting partner Luke. Adam hid a code word in this one. First person to comment it wins an arrow case from Migrate.

For this week's edition of Overdrive Radio we're picking up with longtime trucker-songwriter and performer #TonyJustice after getting the opportunity last week to share news of the Large Cars & Guitars truck show's big $14K haul for the Susan G. Komen foundation. That makes $200K-plus given by the show's participating truckers and sponsors to the breast cancer awareness, support, and research advocacy group over Large Cars' brief five-year history: https://overdriveonline.com/15831558 Everybody loves a big novelty check presentation, right? In case you missed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y-t6j0YfA8 Tune in for history of the long road toward launching the Large Cars show, consistently bringing upward of 100 trucks participating, thelast two years at the iconic Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee. Charitable donations aren't the only reason Justice has been in the news at OverdriveOnline.com in recent weeks, though. He's now the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit independent recording artists like himself are bringing against the Suno AI-generated-music platform. The Justice v. Suno case alleges copyright infringement, essentially, in the process of scraping recordings to store and train the company's AI models on. Approached by attorneys, Tony Justice didn't immediately come to the decision to get out front in the fight, but he's clearly dedicated now, watching his trucking-music income from streaming dwindle with the proliferation of AI-generated songs flooding listening platforms. "We have tech and corporate America coming in and trampling on the little guy," he said. "Anytime I'm in a position to use my voice to fight for the little guy, I feel like I need to do that." Listen here further to Justice's reasoning, it's not hard to let your mind wander to something closer to the center of the trucking -- just how good so-called AI is or can or will get at driving the trucks themselves. Companies like Kodiak and Aurora and so many others have trained self-driving models on the roads today, with drivers' help, in hopes to bring full automation to the task -- "AI" to your seat at the wheel. "This is how we live. This is how we support our families," he said. "We've gotta fight for it. There's too many times you hear" people complaining about this or that, but "when it comes time to do something about it, everybody goes quiet. ... People need to put in an effort doing something about it, and standing up." Justice speaks to his own motivation in the suit here, but it dovetails with trucking, too. How long before significant numbers of drivers are displaced is anybody's guess. We've seen recent cases of pro drivers voicing concerns on those and other, safety grounds directly to the U.S. Department of Transportation and Congress, too. In short, the effort to raise the alarm is getting hotter: https://overdriveonline.com/15828271 Justice is clearly motivated to take up the cause of fellow independent artists like himself, on the road to protecting that talent he's got. As his comments suggest, though, more truckers might soon be motivated to do the same with theirs.

Send us Fan MailLisa Weissler is the author of the 2025 book, Capitol Crude: the Impact of Oil on Alaska Politics. The book was the recipient of a 2025 Alaska Historical Society award for its promotion and understanding of Alaska history. Lisa began working in the Alaska State Capitol in 1981 where she staffed for Rep. Sam Cotten of Juneau. She later worked for Representatives Fred Zaroff of Kodiak, Ethan Berkowitz of Anchorage, and Beth Kertulla of Juneau, and Senator Hollis French of Anchorage. Interspersed between legislative staffing gigs she worked for the Department of Natural Resources, went to law school at the University of Oregon, clerked for Judge Bud Carpeneti, worked for Alaska's Coastal Program in Governor Knowles Administration, and worked for Department of Law in the Oil & Gas Division in Governor Palin's administration. Finally, in Governor Walker's Administration, she was tasked with writing a paper on the history of Alaska's oil and gas tax credit system. That paper eventually became the book we are talking about today. 

Photo: Desks with art supplies sit ready for preschoolers at Kodiak’s North Star building on July 31. A wing of the building reopened to children on Aug. 3. (Katherine Irving / KMXT) The doors of what was once Kodiak's North Star Elementary School reopened August 3 for the first time since last June. The school closed because of budget cuts, but one wing of the building is now home to the Sun'aq Tribe's Alutiingcut Child Care Center, a preschool for two-to-five year-olds. KMXT's Katherine Irving toured the center before its opening and has the story. “This is our foxes classroom. This is our oldest.” Montana Sanchez is the childcare administrator for the Sun'aq Tribe. On a Friday at the end of July, the building that used to be North Star Elementary School was abuzz with activity. “You just walked into fixing the ceilings and the Wi-Fi on the same day.” Sanchez and the teachers had just three days left to get everything finished before opening their doors for preschoolers on August 3. She showed me some of the classrooms, freshly redecorated with dollhouses and play mats and tables covered with art supplies. “I think everyone's been here for the last three weekends in a row getting this set up.” She says this transition has been years in the making. The Tribe's Alutiingcut Child Care Center got its start in 2022 with one classroom at St. Mary's Catholic Church. The center has always accepted all children ages two to five, but with preference for Alaska Native and American Indian families. As demand grew, they expanded to three classrooms at St. Mary's. With a long waitlist, and no more room to grow at the parish, Sanchez says moving to the North Star building was the logical next step. Sadie Coyle, or Ms. Taqu as the kids call her, is the Alutiiq language teacher for the preschool and she has been with the Alutiingcut Child Care Center since the beginning. We caught her in the middle of pushing a cart of supplies to her classroom. “When we first started, four years ago, we had one classroom, and now eventually we're gonna have five. I think that's a good milestone for us.” Enrolling at the preschool costs $1,075 per month per child for kids aged two through three-and-a-half, and $1,025 per month per child for the older kids. That hovers around the statewide average of $1,009 per month, according to data from the non-profit First Five Years Fund. Sanchez says they currently have 35 preschoolers enrolled. They are planning to enroll 75 kids by December and hoping to be licensed for a maximum of 110 by next year. “We already know this is going to be a big change for them, although it's great. So we're going to take it slow, and then hopefully in another month and a half we'll open another classroom, and after that another classroom.” Even with the expansion, she says they still have people on their waitlist. There are several in-home daycares on the island, but the Alutiingcut is the only childcare center, besides the one on the Coast Guard Base Kodiak, which is not accessible to the general public. Sanchez says childcare is hard to come by. Preschools at the Kodiak Baptist Mission and the Lutheran Church closed in 2025 and 2022. “We just don't have many options. Especially the ages from three to five, it's such a hard age to find childcare for. Yeah, we're really hoping to fill that need.” The expansion to North Star brings new opportunities. Coyle, the language teacher, says she is excited to finally have her own classroom, with the space to teach the kids Alutiiq dances. “Dance is my passion, and I want to be able to teach some dances that I’ve learned for the last 15 years now, because they have a lot more fun singing and learning, and like adding a little bit of song and tune to the language helps a lot.” Coyle says she has been designing the curriculum for her class from scratch, which has been a lot of work and no small amount of stress, but she says it has all been worth it. “A couple weeks ago, one of my kiddos looked outside, and it was very sunny, and he said, ‘Oh, Ms. Taqu, it's macanguq out.’ Just those little moments where I'm like, oh, I'm doing something right, I'm doing something for the community.” After months of work and four weekends spent getting everything ready, the North Star wing opened for childcare on August 3. Sanchez says kids and parents alike were excited to explore the new space. A post marks where Enbridge's Line 5 crosses the reservation of the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa on Friday, June 24, 2022. (Photo: Danielle Kaeding / WPR) A federal appeals court is siding with a Wisconsin tribe in its long-running fight against an oil pipeline crossing its reservation. The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Enbridge has been trespassing on land belonging to the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, after pipeline easements on some tribal lands expired in 2013. The court says Enbridge must remove its Line 5 pipeline from those lands, but sent the case back to a lower court to reconsider how much time the company will have to complete a reroute. The court will also reconsider how much Enbridge owes the tribe for profits connected to the trespass. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

In this episode of Hands in the Soil, we venture into new waters and explore the seafood industry. Our guest is Emily Soye Miller, seafood system educator, commercial fisheries consultant, and the managing force behind Fishful Future, a San Diego-based initiative for greater consumer awareness of local seafood that she ran from 2021 through 2025. Emily recently co-curated San Diego Seafood: Then & Now, a community cookbook that traces the history and future of San Diego's seafood culture.Emily grew up recreationally fishing with her father in Southern California, processing squid bait at the kitchen table with her Korean immigrant mother, and navigating the early tension of what counts as "normal" food and for whom. That upbringing gave way to an ecology degree, a stint at a fisheries processor in Kodiak, Alaska, six years as a commercial fisheries observer on boats ranging from single-day trips to month-long offshore voyages, and eventually, a deep commitment to making local seafood legible, accessible, and culturally meaningful to everyday people.Tune in to learn more about:San Diego's history as the tuna capital of the world, and how dramatically things have changed since the post-WWII eraThe Magnuson-Stevens Act and how US fisheries became some of the most well-managed in the world, and why that matters when people claim all commercial fishing is inherently harmfulThe "graying of the fleet": why commercial fishing communities are aging out, shrinking, and struggling to attract the next generationWhy imports make it nearly impossible for small-scale artisanal US fishers to compete on price, and what that means for the future of local seafoodThe seafood system as a "mysterious black box" and why most people have far less understanding of it than they do of agricultureWhat responsible seafood consumerism actually looks like in San DiegoThe gentrification of wild seafood, and why Emily refuses to call it a win if local seafood only ends up on luxury menusHow stewardship of the ocean arises naturally from place-based dietsConnect with Emily: Website: fishfulfuture.com Instagram: @fishfulfuture TikTok: @fishful.futureConnect with Hannah: Instagram: @hannahkeitel

Jason Hitchcock is CEO of Greenlane Holdings (Nasdaq: GNLN), the only US-listed vehicle purpose-built to hold BERA, the native token of the Berachain network, and to put that treasury to work inside the chain's Proof of Liquidity economy. Before taking the job in February he spent fifteen years on the business side of technology startups — a venture studio that sold an app to Amazon, a stint at Twitch, then a liquid token fund launched off the back of a DeFi Summer obsession — and most recently ran business development at thirdweb, where he built out chain infrastructure partnerships across more than 150 networks. Why you should listen Greenlane's origin story was as a cannabis accessories distributor that rode the boom and the bust of that industry before the Berachain Foundation went looking for a public-market proxy for a token with no ETF and no ETP. A $110.7 million private placement led by Polychain Capital — half cash and stablecoins, half BERA — brought in a new board, new management and eventually Jason himself. The legacy business survives as an asset-light drop-shipping operation that helps cover overhead. Everything else points at one asset. Greenlane held roughly 77.7 million BERA at the end of the first quarter, close to a third of circulating supply, and grew BERA-per-share about 44 percent over three months while booking an $18.4 million net loss on fair-value markdowns. That combination — accumulating fast while the mark-to-market bleeds — is the whole digital asset treasury trade in miniature. The argument underneath is more interesting than the balance sheet. Jason's view is that "chain revenue" as the industry reports it is largely a fiction: what those league tables measure is gas burned, money that is destroyed rather than routed to anyone. Berachain inverts the model. Rather than paying the security budget entirely to validators, a large share of emissions is directed to the businesses building on the chain, which use it for customer acquisition and financing, and which bid for those emissions in a validator marketplace — fifty or seventy cents on the dollar for incentives that will grow their protocol. That bid is the revenue, and it flows back to token holders with a claim on it. Protocols like Kodiak, the dominant DEX on the network, and lending market Dolomite are the practical expression of it. Greenlane doesn't just hold the asset; it runs validators, stakes into Proof of Liquidity, and lends its stablecoins into DeFi and onto stable pairs to earn trading fees. Jason frames the company as a signal to the market that there is a buyer in size, permanently. He is candid that this is a rough season to be doing any of it. Equities and precious metals have run while crypto has languished, and he catalogues the disconnect with a certain incredulity: DTCC tokenizing assets, Nasdaq experimenting with blockchain settlement, Stripe with its own chain, Druckenmiller predicting all money becomes stablecoins, BlackRock and Franklin Templeton shipping tokenized funds. Headlines that would have detonated the 2021 market barely register now. His read on what breaks the drought is not a narrative but an invisibility: crypto disappearing into the back end of ordinary products, users earning yield or settling in stablecoins without ever knowing it, and several more zeros of participants arriving without wallets. The CLARITY Act sits in the background as the regulatory unlock, still stalled in the Senate. In the hot take round he lands firmly as a multi-chain opportunist, argues that blockchains are a generic public database technology that will proliferate along distribution lines, and picks Curve Finance as his example of the future already being here — narrow, well-defined DAO governance operating at genuine scale, which he thinks is the model everyone else got wrong.  Supporting links Stabull Finance Greenlane Holdings Greenlane on Twitter Jason on Twitter Andy on Twitter Brave New Coin on Twitter Brave New Coin

This gripping tale explores themes of bravery, loyalty, and the moral dilemmas of exploration, making it a timeless narrative that resonates with the human spirit's quest for survival and connection in the face of overwhelming odds.

When someone brutally murdered the postmistress of Ruby, Alaska, a small village on the Yukon River, the Alaska State Troopers believed they had a ‘locked-room” mystery on their hands. They suspected one of the villagers of killing Agnes Wright. After all, there are only two ways into and out of Ruby: either by boat on the Yukon River or by air travel on a small bush plane. Neither method of transportation is inconspicuous to or from a village where everyone knows everyone else, and a stranger's presence warrants stares and whispers. Since the troopers heard no credible accounts of a stranger in town on the day of the murder, they began with the premise that one of the villagers committed the crime. But who in this small village hated Agnes Wright enough to beat her savagely and then shoot her? Sources 1996 Postmaster. Behind the Badge. The U.S. Postal Inspection Service.

We talk possible podcast names, the origin of “Kiegel,” British breakfast crimes, Schöfferhofer, Dragon's Milk tasting like farts, Apple Crown versus Jim Beam Apple, and why most of this show is really just two friends drinking and talking shit. We also get into Ian's military-kid background, Lakenheath, meeting Kirstie, the legendary “Karasty” Starbucks cup, Misawa memories, drifting in the bongo, Joy's burger getting thrown into the yard, and Robby's path from Kodiak to Nellis, Japan, Edwards, and Texas.

A cargo Boeing 737 plunges into the Arabian Sea. A seaplane crashes near Manhattan but everyone survives. And an executive jet narrowly misses an unidentified silver object at 16,000 feet. In this episode of Flight Safety Detectives, aviation safety experts John Goglia and Todd Curtis examine three recent aviation events and explain what they reveal about today's aviation safety challenges. The episode begins with the tragic crash of a K2 Airways Boeing 737-400 cargo aircraft that departed Sharjah, UAE, bound for Karachi, Pakistan. The airplane entered a steep dive and crashed into the Arabian Sea, killing all five people on board.  John reviews the aircraft's long operational history—including its years flying for Aeroflot—and discusses how the aircraft's age, cargo operation, and the limited public attention to the accident could affect the investigation and what we ultimately learn from it. John and Todd then turn to the July accident involving a Kodiak 100 seaplane operating near Manhattan. The aircraft suffered a hard landing that appeared to collapse one of its floats. Everyone on board survived without serious injury.  Todd analyzes passenger video from the accident, highlighting what it reveals about the forces involved, the importance of floatplane emergency preparedness, and why several passengers appeared unsure where to locate their personal flotation devices. The episode concludes with a discussion of a mysterious near miss involving an executive jet flying near New York that encountered an unidentified silver object at approximately 16,000 feet. Todd highlights the need for additional information and what questions investigators still need to answer. Join John and Todd as they separate facts from speculation, explore what investigators know so far, and explain the aviation safety lessons emerging from these recent events. ✈️ Subscribe for expert analysis of aviation accidents, incidents, and the safety issues affecting pilots, airlines, mechanics, and passengers worldwide.   Don't miss what's to come from the Flight Safety Detectives - subscribe to the Flight Safety Detectives YouTube channel, listen at your favorite podcast service and visit the Flight Safety Detectives website.

Eunice Whitman and her boyfriend, Justine Paul, argued on a busy foot path crisscrossing the tundra in Bethel, Alaska. A few hours later, four teenagers stumbled upon Eunice's naked body stretched out on the ground. Someone had stabbed her multiple times and slashed her throat. Then, they'd folded her clothes and left them a short distance from her body. The police quickly arrested Justine Paul for Eunice's murder. When they found a backpack full of bloody clothes in his home, and footprints in the mud near Eunice's body resembling the tread on Paul's shoes, the prosecutors raced the case to the grand jury, which indicted Paul on first-degree murder.  Unfortunately, this was the only time anything was ever done quickly in this case. When the blood test results from Paul's stained clothes came back from the lab, they surprised the police and the prosecution, but the state refused to drop charges, and Paul languished in jail for seven years waiting for his case to go to trial. ______________ Now Available!

Eisenhower signed the Alaska Statehood Act into law. This monumental legislation paved the way for Alaska to officially be admitted as the 49th U.S. state on January 3, 1959, culminating decades of advocacy by territorial leaders - The push for statehood had long been championed by key political figures, notably Delegate E.L. "Bob" Bartlett, Governor Ernest Gruening, and future Governor Bill Egan. President Eisenhower signed the act without fanfare, simply stating, "Well, that's 49". The historic moment was celebrated locally with massive bonfires, including a famous one on the Park Strip in Anchorage, and the shortest banner headline in the Anchorage Daily Times: "WE'RE IN. - Sarah's background and story, a life dedicated to the outdoors, guiding bears in Kodiak, transitioning to shooting instruction, coaching the shot under pressure, shooting games, PRS (Precision Rifle Series), NRL (National Rifle League Hunter), Young Guns, the shooting match game, bear charges, red light/green light, wobble zone, representing Leupold Optics, Leupold's new  BX-HD Binoculars, Range Finders vs. Built in Range Fining, AWP trivia brought to you by Connoisseur Crude, 1915 1st running of the Mount Marathon 5k Race in Seward, AK, 1st Champion James Walters, Allie McLaughlin holds the all-time women's record for the Mount Marathon race, The world record for the longest rifle shot on a target is 4.4 miles (7,774 yards), Rapid Fire brought to you by Alaska Gun Co., closing statement and big shout out to Chad, Caleb Stillians, Sarah Leupold Optics & Accurate Advantage!

AI is rewriting the rules of product discovery, and brands that aren't optimized for algorithms risk becoming invisible. The Taste Radio team explores how AI is reshaping retail and marketing, unpacks a proposed class action lawsuit over protein labeling claims, and explains why early-stage founders should build with mainstream consumers – not just niche audiences – in mind. Show notes: 0:20: Fourth & Over. Don't Let Claude Do All The Work. You Need A Lawyer. Think Big. Ahh, That Was Nice. –  After some lighthearted banter about summer already being over, the team explores how AI is reshaping product discovery. They highlight the growing importance of strong product data, third-party validation, and authentic brand storytelling while warning against overreliance on AI-generated content. They also discuss a proposed lawsuit against The Only Bean over protein claims, examining increased scrutiny around functional nutrition messaging and the need for brands to carefully evaluate packaging claims.  Finally, the team examines the challenge of creating products that are both distinctive and broadly appealing, using TalkBack's spicy shortbread cookies as a case study. They argue that brands seeking mass-market success must balance originality with accessible positioning and clear consumer benefits.

It's Friday, July 10th, 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 Adam McManus Finnish MP, convicted for quoting Bible, denied transit through London airport Finnish Member of Parliament Päivi Räsänen, who was recently convicted by Finland's Supreme Court for quoting the Bible, has been told that she cannot go through London's Heathrow Airport due to her alleged “hate crime” conviction, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Writer Rod Dreher broke the news on his Substack on Wednesday. The incident has not yet been detailed by any other outlets, but Dreher's report was reposted on X by the senior counsel of Alliance Defending Freedom, which has defended Räsänen in court over the years. War Secretary Pete Hegseth publicly prayed to King Jesus on July 4th On Independence Day, War Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered this extraordinary prayer at the White House. Listen. HEGSETH: “King Jesus, we come humbly before Your throne, praising You for all the providence You've bestowed upon this nation. For over 250 years, from George Washington to President Trump, we have dedicated this nation to one nation under God, and certainly, in God we trust. “And as we think 250 years ago to George Washington on bended knee in Valley Forge, appealing to Heaven on behalf of his troops in this young nation. We've appealed to You from the beginning, and may we continue to appeal to You. And tonight, we pray for our President, President Trump. Give him safety, give him wisdom. “Lord, we pray for our Vice President, our First Lady, our Second Lady, the cabinet members here, all the governors assembled here as well, our civil magistrates, Lord God. I ask that You give them the wisdom to see what is right and the courage to do it; wisdom defined as fear of the Lord, ear of the Lord being the source of all knowledge and wisdom, Lord God, Your eternal truths may they rule. “So, this evening, also, I would be remiss if I did not pray for our great troops, our men and women all around the globe, defending our great nation, as they have for 250 years. Lord God, watch over them and protect them. “It is in Your holy name, the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, that we pray, and we bless this food, too. Amen.” I bet you didn't hear that prayer on any secular news outlet. In Psalm 35:18, King David offers this prayer to God: “I will give You thanks in the great assembly; among the throngs I will praise You.” Students for Life gives Congress an ‘F' after Planned Parenthood's funding resumes Pro-lifers across America are reeling over the Republican-controlled Congress's failure to keep Planned Parenthood defunded. Now, Students for Life has taken the dramatic step of notifying every member of Congress that they have received a failing pro-life grade as a result, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Last July, President Donald Trump signed into law his “One Big Beautiful Bill”, a wide-ranging policy package that included a one-year ban on federal tax dollars going through Medicaid to entities that commit abortions for reasons other than rape, incest, or supposed threats to the mother's life.  While it denied millions to Planned Parenthood, pro-lifers warned from the start that it was only a temporary solution and urged Congress to enact a more permanent measure ahead of the provision's July 4, 2026 expiration date. Maine's Democratic Senatorial candidate suspends campaign Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner ended his campaign on July 8th after facing a detailed allegation of sexual assault, an astounding and rapid fall for the leftist oysterman whose dramatic rise and grassroots support helped him overcome establishment opposition to secure his party's nomination, reports Politico.com. But a persistent accumulation of controversies weighed on Platner's campaign for months. Monday marked a turning point: Democratic leadership, many of Platner's staunchest leftist backers, and key groups who had been helping fund his bid withdrew their support and pressured Platner to drop out after POLITICO reported a new allegation of sexual assault. Since his withdrawal from the race, several Democrats have expressed interest in running against Republican incumbent Senator Susan Collins. Appearing on Fox News, Democratic Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania did not pull any punches and spoke directly to Graham Platner on national television. FETTERMAN: “A woman credibly accused you of raping her. He will be remembered as an accused rapist. He's always been a dead man walking.” FOX NEWS HOST: “He choked up a couple of times during that announcement. Do you think he thinks he's the victim here?” FETTERMAN: “Oh, yeah, definitely. Bro, you will only be remembered as the accused rapist that got pushed out of your election. That's your legacy, bro. You are a guy that cheats on your wife. You're the guy that roughs up your ex-girlfriends. That's your legacy, bro.” Trial of Charlie Kirk's alleged shooter reveals testimony from trans roommate In the trial involving Charlie Kirk's September 10, 2025 assassination, suspected shooter, Tyler Robinson, faces several charges including aggravated murder, a capital offense, reports the New York Post. On July 9th, Robinson's preliminary hearing entered Day 4 in Provo, Utah, as prosecutors played redacted video testimony from his ex-lover, Lance Twiggs, a man who pretends to be a woman named Luna. Twiggs was Robinson's former roommate and romantic partner, who was granted "use immunity" for his statements to investigators. Twiggs revealed Robinson's alleged tearful confession after returning home from killing Charlie Kirk — hours before turning himself in. In never-before-seen footage, Twiggs told prosecutors on July 9th that Robinson was walking around their apartment before breaking down and declaring he “wishes he hadn't done it.” The video showed prosecutor Ryan McBride interviewing Robinson's partner, who described Robinson's alleged regret when they spoke in person on September 11 — one day after Kirk was killed. McBRIDE: “Did he talk about what he had done?” TWIGGS: “Didn't go into detail. I just asked him, in person, if what he said was true the night before, and he said it was. He started crying a little bit, and said he wishes he hadn't done it.” Proverbs 12:17 says, “An honest witness tells the truth, but a false witness tells lies.” As related texts were read aloud, Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, was heard crying in court, according to the Daily Mail. The video and accompanying texts — shown for the first time in court during a preliminary hearing — offered the strongest picture yet of how the accused lone gunman allegedly confessed to the assassination. 31-year-old Charlie Kirk was fatally shot in the neck during a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University. Worldview listeners weigh in from Wisconsin and Florida Wyatt Dennison, age 10, in DeForest, Wisconsin, wrote me and said, “I really like to listen to your newscast during lunchtime every day. I enjoy hearing how the Church throughout the world is doing. I also appreciate your sharing Scripture related to the news stories. My mom homeschools my four siblings and me. We are grateful to hear current events from a Christian worldview.” And Samuel Card in Fellsmere, Florida, wrote, “I enjoy the brief, yet various topics that The Worldview team compiles. Sometimes I go back and delve deeper into a subject that catches my attention. My favorite part is how Scripture is given throughout, showing just how much it applies to every part of life. An added benefit: I have just enough time to listen during my morning walk to work!” 12 Worldview listeners gave $3,345 on Thursday And finally, on Thursday by 5:45pm Central, 12 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the six-member team behind The Worldview for another 365 days.

We were touched by the generosity of Wendy in Ventura, California, Kelly in Loving, Texas, Steve in Loveland, Colorado, and George in Leesburg, Virginia – each of whom gave $100. And we're grateful to God for an anonymous donor in Cranston, Rhode Island who gave $120, David and Kathy in Crestview, Florida who renewed their pledge for $50/month for another 12 months for a total gift of $600, and Justin in Bozeman, Montana who gave $2,000. Those 12 gifts add up to $3,345. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please.

Superstitions swirl around boats, and some captains believe bizarre myths. Renaming a vessel remains foremost among the maritime harbingers of bad luck, and if you dare change the name of your boat, you must follow a strict protocol to avoid certain doom. The Clara Nevada did not even complete her maiden voyage under her new name. Is this boat the case study to prove the truth of the old mariner's superstition, or did her captain plot her demise? On February 5, 1898, the SS Clara Nevada departed Skagway, Alaska, headed for Juneau and then Seattle. Hurricane-force winds of 90 knots (100 mph 161 km/h) pummeled the vessel with following seas of twelve to fifteen feet (4-5 m) as the helmsman attempted to navigate the infamous Lynn Canal of Alaska's Inside Passage. When the decrepit old ship reportedly struck a rock and sank, the news surprised no one. Searchers found the body of only one man, the ship's purser, but news reports stated that no one survived such a horrific accident. The loss of the Clara Nevada at first seemed a tragic but foreseeable accident, and no one doubted the negligence of the ship's owners and captain. Before long, though, folks began asking questions, and the Seattle newspapers speculated wildly about the disaster. Crewmen believed to have died in the wreck turned up alive and well. Even the captain materialized and wasted little time beginning his next venture to ferry prospectors to the goldfields. Sources: Levi, Steven C. The Clara Nevada; Gold, Greed, Murder and Alaska's Inside Passage. 2011. History Press.  This book was my main source for this article.  It covers the sinking of the Clara Nevada and the exploits of Captain C.H. Lewis in much more detail than I've included here. The author also describes the challenges involved in trying to research a maritime disaster in Alaska in the late 1800s.

On this week's episode with host Katherine Irving, the Benny Benson State Airport will undergo renovations this summer, the Buskin river area closes to sockeye fishing, federal fisheries managers require a halibut stamp for charter tours for the first time this year, three finalists for director at Kodiak College visited from the Lower 48 this week, and a new study finds that Kodiak puffin numbers are dropping.

On this week's episode with host Davis Hovey, we hear about Invasive Species Awareness Week in Kodiak, Coast Guard Base Kodiak is getting a new child development center, funding cuts and high fuel costs hamper salmon weirs and surveys, an interview with one of 15 U.S. House of Rep. candidates Matt Schultz, and the Sun'aq Tribe is moving its preschool to the old North Star building.

Former Area DNR Conservation Officer Mike Hruza has made a new career as a fishing guide in Alaska's Kenai Peninsula. He was back in town a couple weeks ago, so we had him in to talk Kodiak Island Bear Hunting, the upcoming Salmon runs, and anything else that was on his mind.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Alaska is a land brimming with natural resources, including gold, silver, copper, coal, oil, salmon, and crab. Still, too often, outsiders have plundered these resources, enriching themselves and leaving Alaska and Alaskans with little to show for it. Alaska has had a “boom and bust” economy since the early 1900s, and no place exemplifies this economy better than Valdez. The aggressive Alaska Syndicate was formed in 1906 with backing from J.P. Morgan and the Guggenheim family, and its initial goal was to mine copper. However, soon the syndicate wanted all Alaska had to offer, including gold, coal, and salmon. It also fought to control rail and sea transportation in Alaska, and with powerful government connections and unlimited funds, it mostly got what it wanted. It needed a railroad to transport copper from its remote Kennecott mines to the ocean, then steamships to ferry it to southern ports. The syndicate chose to construct rail tracks from Kennecott to Cordova, and when rival builders began constructing a railroad from Valdez to Alaska's interior, a violent confrontation erupted, culminating in a shootout in Keystone Canyon.

Today we'll spend hour one going over the House's version of the AKLNG bill as well as take a look at what the regulation of government can do to the economy and kids. Then in hour two we'll visit with Candidate for Senate Heath Smith in his run for the seat previously held by Gary Stevens of Kodiak.

Arguably the biggest hindrance to advancing Biblically aligned policy in Alaska has been the relentless willingness of a few Republican State Senators and House members to give power to the Democrats in exchange for leadership positions.Two of those legislators, Senator Gary Stevens and Representative Louise Stutes, both from Kodiak, have been leading that charge for a long time. It's been a tiring mantra. Elect Republican majorities. Democrats are put in authority.We now have a legitimate moment to change this trajectory.Gary Stevens is retiring and Louise Stutes is leaving the House to run for his Senate seat. Because she's been giving power to the Democrats just like he has, Stevens has endorsed her.But Stutes has a challenger. And he is gaining traction.Heath Smith, a former Homer City Council member, life long Alaskan and astute observer of what's wrong with our "bi-partisan" ineffective legislative caucuses, is on the show today. Senate District C includes Seward, Homer, Cordova, Ninilchik, Anchor Point and Kodiak among other communities but the implications of this critical Senate race have long term statewide implications.Hope you can join in on our conversation.Support the show

Would you recognize a serial killer if you rubbed elbows with him in a bar or if he struck up a conversation with you on a hiking trail? Maybe something about the person would set off alarm bells, especially if you found yourself alone with him. A sociopath or a psychopath can often present a charming demeanor, though, so most of us would never notice the predator in our midst. We might not realize the friendly stranger is a brutal murderer until we read the news the next day. Sources: “Fautenberry confesses to killing Juneau man.” June 18, 1991. Daily Sitka Sentinel.

As we continue our hallmark tenth season of the Eccles Business Buzz podcast, host Frances Johnson sits down with Cameron Smith, Founder & CEO of Kindling Snacks, and Co-Founder of Kodiak Cakes. Cameron is also a graduate of the David Eccles School of Business with a BS in Business Administration.Cameron talks to Frances about his time at Kodiak Cakes, where he served as president (2019–2023) and helped expand the product line into multiple protein-forward and frozen categories. Cameron shares how it was college's structure that later helped him research, learn, and become well-rounded across business functions, and how he joined early-stage Kodiak without a clear long-term plan, but drawn by the people and the chance to work broadly. Cameron explains the balance between intuition and data, highlighting the successful launch of the protein “Power Cakes” at Target, and discusses building brand affinity beyond functional benefits. He also describes founding Kindling Snacks in May 2024, a better-for-you pretzel brand, and how they meet challenges like tariffs, finding space in stores and on shelves, and the importance of hunger, execution, and real effort.Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University.fm.Eccles Business Buzz is proud to be selected by FeedSpot as one of the Top 70 Business School podcasts on the web.

And I think so many times people wait for... They wait for things to happen for them, and they wait for opportunities. And the reality is opportunities do happen for some people, but you have to make it happen.How curiosity fuels disruption[29:40] If you want to be disruptive, you've got to think like someone who is disruptive. The other night, we were driving home, this was so funny, we were driving home as a family, and it was raining, and my 9-year-old daughter, she just starts saying, "You know, Dad," because the windshield wipers were going, "Dad, I know this would cost a lot of money, but they should put, like, a roof over the road so that you don't have to, you know, essentially, like, use your windshield wipers." And is it practical? No. Could you do that across all of America? You couldn't do that, but what's happening is she's seeing the world in possibilities. I read something that our curiosity peaks at age, like, six, like three to five, three to six, which is so unfortunate that as we get older, we stop being curious. We stop having these ideas of, "What if you could put a ceiling above the road?" And, like, she's just thinking these ideas. And then so, like, we need to encourage that, encourage that in people on our teams, encourage that with people that we're around and our families, that curiosity, that observation. And I mean, imagine if you go with your family and you're just, you sit in a Starbucks, and you say, "Okay, what's inefficient about what they're doing? What could they do better? What would you do differently?" And you start to create these mindsets of, "How could we think differently? How could we disrupt?" And it just, like, that's how other things start to happen. Deliberate strategy vs Emergent strategy[21:04] Our deliberate strategy was whole grain pancake mixes, add water only. The emergent strategy was protein pancake mixes, and it started to grow. And so the data told us, "Hey, there was a market for this." So we started to launch new flavors, and it continued to grow to the point that today, as you look at Kodiak as a brand, most places that Kodiak goes into, there's protein in because that's what the brand has become known for. But that was an emergent strategy. That was not our deliberate strategy. And so I think part of that learning is you need to have a deliberate strategy, and you need to pay attention to the emergent strategies. And sometimes your emergent strategy can become your deliberate strategy, but you also don't want to just chase after emergent strategies because that's what some businesses do, and they never see. A strategy that's working because they're looking for the next thing that's going to emerge for a lot of different reasons.Show Links:Kindling Snacks | About UsCameron Smith | LinkedIn ProfileDavid Eccles School of Business (@ubusiness) | InstagramUndergraduate Scholars ProgramsRising Business LeadersEccles Alumni Network (@ecclesalumni) | Instagram Eccles Experience Magazine

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.

In this episode, we kick things off by examining the escalating regulatory battle over the proposed Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern mega-merger. Canadian National is urging federal regulators to reject the amended application, arguing that the filing still omits critical information needed to assess competitive impacts. CN criticizes the proposed Committed Gateway Pricing program as temporary and highly limited, excluding major traffic categories and applying to less than one percent of U.S. rail traffic. Next, we explore the auto logistics sector where Proficient Auto Logistics reported a brutal first quarter that sent its stock tumbling nearly nineteen percent. Extended automotive plant shutdowns, severe winter weather, and disrupted rail and sea transportation pipelines pushed the company's operating ratio to a staggering one hundred three point four percent. However, management remains optimistic that improved March trends and stronger seasonal factors will stabilize second-quarter performance. Finally, we cover the rapid expansion of autonomous trucking as Kodiak AI posted seventy-four percent quarter-over-quarter revenue growth and expanded its driverless fleet to twenty-eight trucks. The company deployed eight additional fully driverless trucks during the first quarter and accumulated more than twenty-three thousand five hundred cumulative hours of paid operations. Kodiak also secured one hundred million dollars in new financing and launched a partnership with Roehl Transport for regular Dallas-Houston freight lanes.

Alcatraz prison in California, built on a small, rocky island in the Bay of San Francisco, operated from the time of the US Civil War in the 1860s until it was closed in 1963. The island's remote location made it the perfect site for a prison, but this location also made it expensive to maintain, and the cost of maintenance finally led to its closure. During the years it operated, Alcatraz housed many infamous prisoners including Al Capone and Machine Gun Kelly, but the one prisoner whose nickname is synonymous with the prison is The Birdman of Alcatraz. Why am I telling you about Alcatraz and its prisoners? Because this episode is about Robert Stroud, better known as the Birdman of Alcatraz. You may not associate Stroud with Alaska, but he was originally incarcerated for a murder he committed in Juneau. Robert Stroud spent 54 years in prison, and he was in solitary confinement for 42 of those years. He is one of Alaska's most famous criminals. Sources: Bovsun, Mara.

In this week's episode of The Beet, Jacques chats with Kodiak, Alaska gardener Marion Owen, aka “The UpBeet Gardener,” about the thrill of growing in what she calls “zone zero.” She shares how she stretches her season by adapting raised beds with protective coverage for the coldest months. In summer, the sun can linger until midnight, giving her plants a surprising boost, but making hardening off even more important. Marion also reveals her secret sauce: blending volcanic-ash-rich native soil with homemade compost to make her garden pop. Connect with Marion Owen: Marion Owen is a gardener and co-author of Chicken Soup for the Gardener's Soul, growing against the odds in Kodiak, Alaska. While the climate keeps things interesting, she credits her success more to building healthy soil than battling the weather. Guided by the idea that we all share one beautiful blue planet, Marion documents her garden through blogs and videos. Her message is simple: stay curious, stay hopeful, and keep growing.
