The Frozen Toe Show is an authentic and entertaining one-hour program about "Real Alaskan Living", hosted by author and Professional Alaskan, Brookelyn Bellinger

Visitors often get a "canned" view of Alaska; they pan for gold in fake streams, watch reproduction dance hall girls from a bygone Gold Rush era, and buy lots of "Alaska" trinkets that are probably made in China.  We Alaskans are often on our best behavior, the weather is usually pleasant, and the state's resources are beyond impressive.  But in reality, Alaskans know that living here includes long, dark winters with dead car batteries and smoking woodstoves, shopping opportunities limited to the hardware store or a mouse click, and questionable addictions- like dogs and espresso.  We are also just a tad obsessive about getting airline miles.  But ours is a view that is often forgotten in favor of the more mundane themes of Alaska- like northern lights, bears, and that ever-lovin' Denali.  The Frozen Toe Show corrects this oversight by teaching about outhouses, surviving moose attacks, and necessary Alaskan fashion accessories- like duct tape and multi-tools.  The Frozen Toe Show teaches the realities of living the "cabin lifestyle" without running water and probably too many dogs, and teaches how to enjoy extreme sports- like throwing a cup of boiling water in the air at minus 20, or cutting back on TV in January.  Many other top secrets of Real Alaskan Living are revealed.

"This program simultaneously grooms those who hope to become "proper" Alaskans, and keeps our population from swelling when the rest (the sissies) decide they don't want to live here."

What the one-hour program includes: Life-size cutouts of a moose and real Alaskans Multimedia presentation of "real" Alaskans doing "real Alaskan stuff".  Always interesting. Audience will learn how to dress like an Alaskan.  (Two audience members will volunteer to be dressed in summer and winter attire. Audience will learn how to avoid a moose attack and moose attack stories will be shared.   (Including how a local man killed an attacking moose with a machete.) Learn the hows and whys of participating in the zaniest, craziest Alaskan sports- like the Chatanika Outhouse races, the Bering Sea Golf Classic (golfing on the frozen Bering Sea), the Mountain Mother contest, the Red Green River Regatta (boat race of duct tape engineered "boats"), and many more. Selected humorous anecdotes will be read from the author's book, The Frozen Toe Guide to Real Alaskan Livin': Learn How to Survive Moose Attacks, Endless Winters, and Life Without Indoor Plumbing The audience will be tested with the "Are you a real Alaskan?" quiz Audience will take home "The Blue Tarp Challenge" game.  This game is based on the premise that in almost every Alaskan yard you can find a blue tarp.  Other things on the list are also commonplace throughout the state.  As the items are found, they are checked off the list and their respective point value is recorded.  The team or individual with the best score at the end of the time allotted wins.  (In case of a tie, they arm wrestle.)
