From frontier saloons to neighborhood hangouts, nightlife has always played a bigger role in Alaska than most people realize. This week, we're joined by friend of the pod and Alaska nightlife expert Taylor Cline to explore how bars and saloons became the social heart of communities across the Last Frontier, and why nightlife in Alaska has always been about more than just grabbing a drink. We dive into the history, share some of our favorite spots around the state, and talk about what makes a night out in Alaska different from anywhere else. What historically were the only heated public buildings in Alaska? Why is it important to carry cash...especially dollar bills? And where can you hear future comedy star Russ White do stand up?! It's the episode that'll make you gather with other friends of the pod!
