This last Susitna Writer’s Voice is drawn from the Talkeetna Elementary’s 4th grade class recent visit to KTNA. The children recorded podcast-style opinion pieces they have been writing. Twelve students responded to the question – “Would you rather be a parrot or an octopus?”. Tune in to hear what they had to say about this difficult choice. This week is part 2 of a 2 part show.

Sunday at 7pm on KTNA you can hear Hometown, Alaska. The topic is homesteading and highland cows.

On the show, host Kim Sherry visits with a Talkeetna-area homesteader who’s traded the hustle of city life for mountain views and a herd of shaggy, gentle Highland cows. And now he’s inviting folks to experience the magic of warm, fuzzy cow hugs that will melt away even the coldest Alaskan day.

Thank you to Jeremy Hsieh [Shay] from Alaska Public Media and the Alaska Desk for coming in person to join the show.

KTNA listeners consistently rate local news as the number one programming content they value most.
