  • How to keep current on Alaskan politics and happenings

    I utilize this Michael Dukes podcast to stay current on all the Alaska politics and happenings. Many of the state legislatures call in to discuss their opinions on active topics. I leave the show informed and having a greater understanding of the working of our governmental processes.

    Not took bad a show ,if you like politics. Totally conservative ,but he listens to both sides. Which is what we need. Biggest gripe is when he can’t decide to answer Facebook comments or run his call in show. We get to listen to grunts subtle laughs , while he decides who to answer. Rude actually.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Monday 4/13/26 | No full PFD & other headlines | Kristen Coletti-Giesler
Q: Walk me through, why would somebody want to disregard a doctor's or LMP's prescription for some, any kind of medical condition at this, what would be the argument?
Kristen explains that pharmacist decisions are often driven by fear, guidelines unfamiliarity, and safety concerns, but emphasizes that when a clinician documents a diagnosis and treatment plan (e.g., antibiotics or anti-inflammatories for PANS/PANDAS), pharmacists should not withhold needed meds, as it delays care and can harm patients.
