What the big beautiful bill means for renewable energy

July 8, 2025

The road to journalism can be an interesting and winding one. It’s often a profession that finds you instead of the other way around. Once you’re in it, it can be very hard to leave. Despite many flaws – low pay, long hours and tight deadlines – to name a few, journalism is also a really incredible career, and that is doubly true in Alaska.

On this Talk of Alaska we have three journalists who’ve decided it’s time to make an exit. But before they have a chance to get too far away, we turn the microphone around and ask them to talk about their careers.

LISTEN:
