Broadcasting from KINY’s new studio, Connor Lendrum and Wade Bryson kick off a lively Problem Corner filled with community updates, Celebration excitement, garage sales, local events, and listener messages. From cultural traditions and First Friday activities to neighborhood support and civic discussions, the show showcases the people, events, and conversations that make Juneau unique during one of its busiest and most vibrant weeks of the year.

In the first live Problem Corner broadcast from KINY’s new studio, Wade Bryson and Lance Mitchell reconnect with listeners and dive into the issues shaping Juneau. The show highlights local community events, including a food drive concert benefiting the Southeast Alaska Food Bank, thrift store expansions, neighborhood cleanup efforts, and upcoming Celebration festivities. The conversation also tackles one of Juneau’s biggest current topics—the city’s proposed budget cuts and their potential impact on services such as fire protection, recreation facilities, and community programs. Blending local swap-and-trade announcements with community discussion, the episode marks the return of one of Southeast Alaska’s longest-running public forums.

Justin Miller’s Wednesday show mixed neighbor-to-neighbor help with spirited community talk. Mikey in Haines called seeking a ride to the post office and a little Thanksgiving support as he prepares for treatment in Seattle; listeners also heard a request to donate winter clothing for local veterans, a birthday shout-out for Steven and Jordan Bennett, and a family searching for an old-school student desk. Justin promoted Saturday’s Karen & Sharon Food Drive at both IGA stores, reminded folks about Public Market and winter driving safety, and unveiled a playful new “wrap-up” jingle for long calls. On the phones, callers debated SeaAlaska (7(i)/7(j) revenue sharing, free-speech concerns, and investment priorities), urged civility, floated ideas like elder housing and services, and touched on broader topics (ICE, National Guard). A caller also found Justin’s missing snare at The Alaskan, and another sought leather patch sewing and a dual-cassette/CD boombox.
