EP 142 The Notorious Bars of Alaska with Doug Vandegraft (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For nearly 30 years, Doug Vandegraft has been writing about bars in Alaska. In his book, “A Guide to the Notorious Bars of Alaska,” he uses the state’s longtime watering holes as a way into its broader social history. Doug spent decades traveling throughout Alaska during his career as a federal cartographer, and along the way he became interested in the bars that seemed to function as more than just places to drink—they were gathering places, landmarks, and repositories of local history. He even
EP 141 The Politics of Nature with Jonathon Keats (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jonathon Keats is an artist, writer, and experimental philosopher, and his work uses imagination to question some of our most basic assumptions about how the world works. His new book, “A Field Guide to More-Than-Human Governance,” looks beyond human societies for new ways of thinking about politics, drawing lessons from bacteria, fungi, plants, animals, and entire ecosystems.

It’s widely regarded as one of the oldest, continuously lived-in settlements in North America. As a writer, Lily often begins by imagining the land itself—not as it exists today, but as it existed centuries ago—meditating on everything a single place has witnessed across time. Then comes the research, uncovering the details
EP 138 Searching for answers, one essay at a time with Corinna Cook (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Corinna Cook is an essayist whose writing follows the stories embedded in the borderlands of Southeast Alaska, northern British Columbia, and the southern Yukon. Drawing from history, natural science, and personal experience, she asks what the landscape can teach us—how it preserves memory, how climate reshapes our understanding of place, and how the painful histories of colonialism continue to shape life in the present. Her essays remind us that history and the natural world are inseparable, th
