Episode Synopsis

We're back with a new format! The Sam and Derik Show is going weekly! How you may ask? I wouldn't ask that. But since you did, we've split our episodes into 4 weekly easily consumable parts. The nutrition value of which has not been certified.

Join us for Episode 11 Part 1 of 4 in which we bring you updates on a couple of stories we previously covered, the ongoing saga of the mythical Yakutat Alpacas, and the hotly debated future of Telephone Hill. Plus, we get serious in our opposition to a new rule banning federal electronic road signs from being humorous. Finally, we dig into a proposal to allow gambling on the Alaska Marine Highway. All that and there's plenty more to come in our exciting, new, and highly experimental weekly format.
