The “Average” Alaskan Podcast
The “Average” Alaskan Podcast
Michael Swoboda
In this podcast we will explore the ins and outs of what it means to be an “Average” Alaskan. We will highlight the unique characteristics and experiences that create the person that is an Alaskan resident outdoorsman or outdoors-woman. I hope to build an interactive community of Alaskans that love everything Alaska whether it be chasing sheep in the mountains, salmon in the rivers, or mushrooms in the forest. Follow along and join the “Average” Alaskan family as we dive into the good, the bad, and the ugly of Alaskan life and the outdoors!
