BOOK

This Is Chance! by Jon Mooallem In 1964, the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in North America rocked Anchorage, Alaska, splitting streets apart, triggering tsunamis, and killing 139 people. Mooallem’s vivid, read-in-one-sitting book of reportage centers on Genie Chance, a part-time radio journalist. For 59 hours, the Texas native manned the radio mic, helping to guide the city through chaos and becoming a state legend in the process.

PODCAST
