Each week, host Michael Carey gathers journalists and commentators for a review of the week’s news, politics and public affairs in Anchorage and Alaska. Topics this week include:

Ted Stevens trial begins in Washington, DC as the campaign goes on at home in Alaska
Sarah Palin tours New York, meets foreign leaders… but talks to the media only sparingly
How is the Wall Street and banking meltdown playing out in Alaska? Will it affect the election for U.S. House and U.S. Senate in Alaska?
The politics of “Troopergate” have bogged down, with little relief in sight
The media’s coverage of Sarah Palin — fair? accurate? What about coverage produced by reporters dropping into Alaska from Outside?
