We're back after an extended break! And they didn't change the locks to the recording booth on us. We keep things light and fun in this episode with a variety of mostly local stories we felt deserved more attention. We've got an update on the local APC owned by the Juneau police, discuss some prime downtown real estate under consideration for development, and how expensive even a destroyed house in Juneau can be. Dispensaries can now give out free weed samples, and we gossip about the budding friendship between Senators Murkowski and Romney and Mitt's inability to cook salmon. Our big stories this week were a small tweak to a law that allows for distilleries in Alaska to stay open one hour later, and our top 10 favorites from the Biden administration's 10 new proposed AI regulations. Plus we catch up with each other on what we've been up to and the proper technique for launching fireworks.
