Helping Mikey, Winter Giving, and a Fiery SeaAlaska Debate

Justin Miller’s Wednesday show mixed neighbor-to-neighbor help with spirited community talk. Mikey in Haines called seeking a ride to the post office and a little Thanksgiving support as he prepares for treatment in Seattle; listeners also heard a request to donate winter clothing for local veterans, a birthday shout-out for Steven and Jordan Bennett, and a family searching for an old-school student desk. Justin promoted Saturday’s Karen & Sharon Food Drive at both IGA stores, reminded folks about Public Market and winter driving safety, and unveiled a playful new “wrap-up” jingle for long calls. On the phones, callers debated SeaAlaska (7(i)/7(j) revenue sharing, free-speech concerns, and investment priorities), urged civility, floated ideas like elder housing and services, and touched on broader topics (ICE, National Guard). A caller also found Justin’s missing snare at The Alaskan, and another sought leather patch sewing and a dual-cassette/CD boombox.
