The Last Frontier Podcast

By: Daniel Meuninck Andrew Smith
  • Summary

  • Your two hosts of this podcast work as professional guides in the Alaskan outdoor tourism industry and started this podcast as a fun way to keep busy during the pandemic summer of 2020. With uncertainty in what employment might look like, Danny and Andrew still wanted to share the beauty of Alaska with people and this podcast was a good way to achieve that goal. Alaska is an incredible place everybody should put on their destination bucket list. Each episode opens with a beer review highlighting a local Alaskan brewery and then tackles a different topic relating to what makes Alaska such a unique place in the world. With all the fun being had drinking Alaskan brews and sharing fascinating information about the Last Frontier State, what started as a fun short term project has morphed into a long term endeavor. With this decision, investments were made in much better production equipment and the sound quality drastically improves starting in Phase II of the podcast with Episode 17 (Feb 21, 2021 release date). We hope you enjoy the content and strongly encourage you to visit Alaska in the future!

  • Kayakers Cove
    Feb 2 2025

    Kayakers Cove is a great off the road system hostel you can access by water taxi from Seward, Alaska. It is a fan favorite of those who know it well. And breaking news, it's under new ownership by none other that our podcast's most frequent guest and sometimes co-host Jared Fink. Jared joins us on the program today to discuss this new life endeavor and talk about what makes Kayakers Cove and places like it such a magical place to visit. Do you need to be a kayaker to stay at the Cove? What makes this experience extremely economical? And why is Andrew wearing Lululemon shorts?! It's the episode we hope Andrew's dad gets a kick out of!
