Eddie P: Alaska Media Legend & Host of The Venue

In this episode of It’s Alaska, we sit down with a voice and presence that’s helped shape the rhythm of Alaska’s media and music culture - Eddie P. Known across the state as the longtime host of The Venue, Eddie P has built a reputation as more than just a media personality. He’s a connector. A curator. A storyteller who has spent years spotlighting Alaska’s artists, events, and underground energy long before it hit the mainstream. From radio waves to live stages, Eddie P has played a key role in giving local talent a platform and creating space for voices that might otherwise go unheard in a state where distance and exposure are constant challenges. In this conversation, we go beyond the mic. We talk about: *  The evolution of Alaska’s music and media scene  *  What it really takes to stay relevant in a changing industry  *  The behind-the-scenes reality of building a long-standing platform like The Venue *  His perspective on legacy, consistency, and showing up for your community  Eddie P brings a grounded, real-world perspective - earned through years of experience, relationships, and staying close to the culture. This episode is about more than media. It’s about impact. If you’ve ever wondered how Alaska’s creative scene keeps moving, growing, and surviving… this is part of that story. Hosted by Brad Erickson. Filmed and Produced by Upper One Solutions in the U1 Studios.

Unshaken: Karin Hendrickson’s Return to the Iditarod Trail

In 2014, veteran Iditarod musher Karin Hendrickson was struck by a vehicle while training her dog team along the Parks Highway north of Willow. The collision snapped her gangline, sent 14 dogs running loose in the dark, and left Karin with a broken back. From the roadside, injured and in pain, her first words weren’t about herself—they were: “Go get my dogs.” A multi-time Iditarod finisher who balances full-time work in environmental regulation with the relentless demands of training sled dogs, Karin’s life has been shaped by grit, discipline, and devotion to her team. With the help of fellow mushers who rushed to the scene, every dog was recovered. Karin faced months of recovery and the devastating reality of missing the Iditarod she had trained for. In this episode of It’s Alaska, Karin reflects on the accident, the community that carried her through it, and why—despite everything—she was never ready to quit running dogs. This is a story about impact, endurance, and what matters most when everything breaks at once.
