From northern Idaho to a still frozen early May Anchorage, AK

Saturday is officially our 20th Anniversary of the Big Alaska Show. And it all started here at the Polar Bear Jump Off in Seward, AK where Co-host, Mike Ford and I MC'd the Polar Bear Jump for a number of years to raise awareness and the fight against cancer. Jumpers raise money for the privilege to plunge into the icy waters of Kachemak Bay. Seward residents surround the jumpers at the harbor and cheer them on. For a brief moment, the world is one, standing together in the fight against cancer!
Join us Saturday morning, 9:05a-10a AKT as we air clips from past shows including what it's like with a live rowdy Seward audience for the Big Alaska Show! Designed to raise your spirits - not your blood pressure- just leave your muddy boots and politics at the door!
Saturday, 9:05a-10a AKT, KFQD 103.7 FM / 750 AM , streamed at www.kfqd.com, with podcasts at www.bigalaskashow.com
