Last Week’s Show (June 7th)

News, Shows — Jun 13, 2008

More fun than a barrel of monkeys (or more fun than playing the game “barrel of monkeys” at Uncle Steve’s house) yet another hour of the Big Alaska Show with Uncle Steve and Bearded Jon.

The fun never ends on the Big Alaska Show and this week was no exception.  Although it was lonely.  Joining us on the phone was Akbar Ali Ablabadadgasdgfasdfgasd (we couldn’t pronounce it; how can you expect us to be able to spell it) filling us in on all the details at the 3 Barons’ Renaissance Fair.

Also on the phone was Adventure Girl Lilly Sheldon, marketing director at US Travel with the latest on travel dos and don’ts (or, more correctly, what the airlines are doing and don’ting to passengers this week).

Also on the phone was Fairbanks broadcaster Michael Dukes with tales from further north.  Calling from North Pole Michael was headed to Nenana to watch the presentation of the Nenana Ice Classic check at the annual River Days Celebration.

Once again it was an hour so jam packed with fun we hardly knew what to do with ourselves when the hour was over.  So we went out for coffee.

Don’t forget to join Uncle Steve and Bearded Jon each and every Saturday morning at 9a on NewsTalk am750 KFQD for the Big Alaska Show.

 

Welcome to The Big Alaska Show!

Its here but just what is it?

Think BIG! BIG stories. BIG adventures. BIG guests. BIG prizes. And yes, Steve, BIG lies.

Its a big BIG SHOW! Spanning the globe. From the Point Barrow to Kodiak, from Attu to Ketchikan and all points in between the Big Alaska Show covers the entire state of Alaska and BEYOND! You’ve got to travel to get anywhere in Alaska and as Alaskans Uncle Steve and Bearded Jon love to travel and experience all our great state has to offer. Mexico, Hawaii, the lower 48, if Alaskans go there we’ll be talking about it and occasionally going there for you (so we can make all the travel mistakes and you won’t have to).

We’ve got the BIGGEST stories! Whether it is live coverage of the pre-Idtiatrod Race activities in downtown Anchorage or backroom antics before the Polar Bear Plunge in Seward the Big Alaska Show is anywhere and everywhere in Alaska that you want to be. And if we’re not there we will be talking to somebody there.

We’ve got the BIGGEST adventures. Life is an adventure. From Uncle Steve’s RV travels to Bearded Jon’s Hawaiian excursions. Wherever our adventures take us you will be there with us. Skiing, rafting, 4 wheeling, sky diving, whatever the adventure if it happens in Alaska you will hear all about it on the Big Alaska Show.

We’ve got the BIGGEST guests who will share their adventures. From mushers to fishermen, outdoor enthusiasts, indoor enthusiasts. Alaskans telling the stories Alaskans tell best, theirs.

We’ve got the BIGGEST prizes. Well, maybe not yet but we will have. With our “Are You Smarter Than a Cheechako” Trivia Quiz and our “Picture of the Week” you will be sharing our adventures and the bounty we have collected along the way.

We’ve got the BIGGEST lies (thats what we told our sponsors to get their money so you could hear the Big Alaska Show every week).

But who would manage a show this BIG? Why Uncle Steve and Bearded Jon of course every Saturday morning at 9am on News Talk 750, KFQD.
