Alaska’s Juneau Deep Dive & South Carolina’s Hands-Free Rules (Ep 510)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson I’m coming to you from the deck of a ship on Alaska’s Inside Passage—crisp air, glassy water, mountains rising straight from the sea. Today’s stop: Juneau, the roadless state capital tucked between Gastineau Channel and the Coast Mountains. We hit Juneau’s gold-rush roots, living Tlingit heritage, the Mendenhall Glacier, wildlife (eagles, whales, bears), and can’t-miss facts (Mount Roberts Tramway!). Then we pivot home to the Carolinas with Master Trooper Ridgeway (SCHP) on South Carolina’s new hands-free driving law—what counts as hands-free, how it’ll be enforced, and penalties.
