Did you know Alaska Podshow Podcast launched on October 11th, 2005? Since then I’ve been sharing stories, my experiences, and favorite destinations around Alaska. Alaska has been the backyard of my family for five generations and so when I say Alaska’s in my blood it’s quite literal.

I never imagined this podcast would ever amount into any sort of value other than a creative sandbox for me to play. Today, the numbers of people who watch Alaska Podshow continues to grow steadily as it has from day one. I’m truly amazed at how passionate people are about this corner of the world and that truly excites me!

As a one-man band for several years, I recently had the honor of teaming up with Kevin Kastner, whom I met while collaborating on Iditarod coverage 2007 via his website dogsled.com. Several months of conversation, brainstorming, and sharing visions - Kevin and I formed a company called Perfect Blend Media, LLC. Needless to say we’ve been working steady at growing Alaska Podshow as well as other production ideas we’d like to pursue. It’s been an amazing ride, and we’re just getting fired up - hold on to your iPods!

Okay… So as you probably know Alaska Podshow naturally has some sentimental value to me, and while the name is going to change, the content and spirit of the show will continue to thrive under the new name Alaska HDTV. We’re not moving to a new site for a while, but we’re introducing the new brand.

So what’s in the name Alaska HDTV?
First it’s all about Alaska naturally, and isn’t the name “Alaska” just cool anyway? Second we love the experience high definition [HD] brings to the Podcast. Finally, Alaska Podshow has sparked some interest from Local Cable, and is currently available through TiVo. Alaska HDTV for branding sake gives us more room to play and expand into different productions.

So there it is folks! I hope you’re as excited as I am and continue to share the growth of what we’re doing. As always suggestions, ideas, and feedback for better or worse are always welcome – don’t be a stranger

Cheers,
Scott
