Our Community: January 26, 2023

With the hit PBS series, Molly of Denali, the national interest in Alaska Native stories is at an all-time high.

The Alaska Center for the Book is hoping to capitalize on this with its Alaska Native Book Challenge that just got underway.

That’s the subject of this morning’s “Our Community” segment from KNBA’s Rhonda McBride.

Guests:

Sara Juday, Alaska Center for the Book
Angela Gonzalez, Athabascan Woman Blog

Rhonda McBride has a long history of working in both television and radio in Alaska, going back to 1988, when she was news director at KYUK, the public radio and TV stations in Bethel, which broadcast in both the English and Yup’ik languages.
