Barbershop and Wetlands!

June 13, 2026/ Steve Stripling

The Arts and Sciences converge on today's show.

We caught up with Audubon Alaska's Communications Manager, Lauren Cusimano, at Discovery Day at Potter Marsh talking birds and wetlands. We asked our Science Guy, Dr. Gordon Snyder, to reflect on Lauren's observations and his thoughts about the slow turnout of wildlife so far.

To sharpen his music chops, Director of the Anchorage Midnight Sons Chorus, Phil Cheasbro, attends Harmony College Northwest at the U of Puget Sound (https://harmonycollege.net/). Executive Vice President of the Evergreen District Barbershop Harmony Society, Duncan Gilman, fills us in and what takes place there.

We even had a Tall Alaska Tale for Duncan!
