NPR had the best local radio station I’ve ever listened to. And it was the only one we could get loud and clear out on the boat. It gave detailed reports on the fishing where the fish were running when the openings were, the tides. And every morning, five minutes of “Let’s Speak Yu’pik.”Local language, was very interesting. And we would get programs from NPR like “Lake Woebegone” and “Click and Clack”. Also neighborhood news like lost pets, like you said. I don’t know what this community would do without it. oh yeah, and there was no “leftist liberal indoctrination” or anything
