{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"The Must Read Alaska Show","slug":"mustreadalaska","podcastDescription":"John Quick hosts this national award-winning podcast, celebrated for its exceptional commentary on Alaska politics from the conservative perspective. With a unique style that views each podcast as a human interest piece, John engages with a diverse array of guests, including politicians from both sides of the aisle, CEOs of publicly traded companies, New York Times bestsellers, mayors of small towns in Alaska, and presidents of countries. This approach has led the podcast to win several prestigious awards, such as the 2023 Gold Communicator Award for Political Podcast, the 2023 AVA Gold Award for Political Podcast, the 2022 Gold Dot Com Gold Award for Outstanding Political Podcast, a 2022 VIDDY Honorable Mention Award, and ranking as the #1 political podcast in Alaska by Feed Spot. \n\nJohn’s contributions to political discourse extend beyond podcasting, as he also has his own column at Newsmax. Tune in every week for insightful discussions that are always fresh, occasionally tart, and brimming with insights about what’s happening behind the scenes in Alaska politics.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/9258881/MRAK_PodCast7zs8j.jpeg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/9258881/MRAK_PodCast7zs8j_1200x628.jpg?s=34b6edfffbe763e414b641a1cd28ab8c&e=jpeg","podcastUrl":"https://mustreadalaska.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/mustreadalaska/feed.xml","theme":"focuspod","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pu/pbblog-m5qws-8d4781","removePodbeanBranding":"yes","brandingLogo":"http://imglogo.podbean.com/companyLogo/9261194/IMG_2603_u9q7h.jpg","timeZone":{"timeZoneId":4,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-09:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-9,"text":"(GMT-09:00) Alaska","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/Anchorage"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":433,"showComments":false,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":false,"author":"Must Read Alaska","engagementStatsBaseUrl":"https://d1.podbean.com/webplayer_engagement?u=676cbc71d1a73727d80c92bc","shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-m5qws-8d4781-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-must-read-alaska-podcast/id1531215896","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://r4j68.app.goo.gl/?link=https%3A%2F%2Fmustreadalaska.podbean.com%3Faction%3DopenPodcast%26podcastId%3Dpbblog9258881%26podcastIdTag%3Dm5qws&dfl=https%3A%2F%2Fmustreadalaska.podbean.com&utm_campaign=pb_web&utm_source=podbean_web&utm_medium=dlink&imv=670&amv=530&isi=973361050&ibi=com.podbean.app.podcast&ipbi=com.podbean.app.podcast&apn=com.podbean.app.podcast","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/36ConYCvTFEHsjXGQIvzup","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/3b935e1e-0420-4a74-a0c9-08f1d159e10d","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"Pandora","link":"https://www.pandora.com/podcast/the-must-read-alaska-podcast/PC:79586","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/pandora.png","title":null},{"name":"TuneIn + Alexa","link":"https://tunein.com/podcasts/News--Politics-Podcasts/Must-Read-Alaska-Show-p1365132/","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/tunein.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://www.iheart.com/podcast/87289654/","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/series-2835205","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Listen Notes","link":"https://lnns.co/uigtXqCs45wr333","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/ListenNotes.png","title":null},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/the-must-read-alaska-podcast-2173093","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null},{"name":"BoomPlay","link":"https://www.boomplaymusic.com/podcasts/47193","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/BoomPlay.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Roboto"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"PT Sans"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#FF2C2C"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":"https://www.podbean.com/images/favicon.ico"},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
