Podcasts about dog mushing

Join host Michele Forto as she talks about dog mushing in the Olympic Games in 1932 on Mushing.  At the 1928 Winter Olympic Games in St. Moritz, Switzerland, demonstration sports – not part of the official program – were included for the first time. With demonstration events ceasing to exist after 1992, in this podcast, Mushing explores some of these ‘lost sports' of the Winter Games. Dog Mushing was a demo sport at the 1932 Olympic Games in Lake Placid, New York, and some very famous dog drivers competed, including Leonard Seppala and Emile St Goddard.

In 1925, the town of Nome in rural Alaska found itself facing a potentially catastrophic outbreak of diphtheria. Almost completely cut off from the rest of the world by the harsh Winter, the only way to get medicine in was via a relay of 20 teams of sled dogs. The inspiration for the cartoon film Balto, this is the true story of the Nome Serum Run.

How do you write a description for a man that Races one of the hardest races 5x in 5 years and then goes and decides to climb the 5 of the 7 tallest peaks across the globe and he only has 2 left to go and he will! Then on top of all that. He is a Dad and Husband to an amazing family. His kids are following his footsteps because of the trails he is blazing and just creating massive multiplication along the way. We dive into his mindset and perspective to take on some of the biggest and toughest challenges you can find while finding massive purpose and becoming a much better version of his self while he is at it. This man tapped into his deepest weakness and found a way to leverage his situation and gain absolute time freedom while he was at it.    You have to listen into this incredible hour of inspiration and mindset I challenge anyone to not be the most productive version of themselves after they get done. It will be physically impossible to be lazy or procrastinate while you are listening to this man inspire and impact so many. 

Curious about dog mushing? You're in good company. Dog racing, known as mushing, is one of the many sports that draws tourists and lures enthusiasts to live in Alaska. But not everyone who mushes is a pro-racer tackling the Iditarod or keeping a huge yard of sled dogs. The north and Alaska are full of amateur racers who take on the sport because they both love dogs and the time in nature running a sled and dog teams brings. In this episode Sarah Varland, an author, high school English teacher and amateur musher gives us the inside scoop on dog mushing, why she loves it and how it connects her to the world. Listen now.

In this one, Cody talks to dog musher Aliy Zirkle. She's always felt a strong connection to animals, dogs in particular. She tells this story about how when she was a kid and lived in Puerto Rico, there were a couple of stray dogs that pulled her around on a skateboard. Mushing was in her blood, even then.   For 30 years, mushing has been everything to Aliy. It's been her passion and her career. And understanding her dog's abilities and their limits has been key because if you break that — if you break their trust or you ask them to do too much — then they lose confidence in you as their leader. So, Aliy made sure she knew every one of her dogs — their individual personalities, their eccentricities and their limits. Skunk, Commando, Mismo, Mac, Pedro, Rubia, Beemer, Viper, Quito, just to name a few. She knew and knows all of them. They've taught her indispensable truths, like how to live in the moment and how to appreciate the present because that's all we really have.   In 2021, she raced her last Iditarod. It didn't turn out the way she anticipated. Her plan was to win — to be the first racer to pass under the Burled Arch — but about 200 miles into the race, she crashed, hit the back of her head on the ice and was dragged by her arm for an indeterminate amount of time. She had to be airlifted to the hospital, where she found out that she had suffered a concussion, something that she's still recovering from.   As a musher, she has relied on her toughness — her ability to get through difficulties out on the trail on her own. That it's her and the dogs — Team Zirkle, the fan favorite — out there in the Alaska wilderness. The team that always finishes the race. That's been her biggest struggle throughout all of this — that she didn't finish her last race. It weighs so heavily on her sometimes that it's best just not to think about it. She says that the whole situation still seems a little surreal and that she's still trying to make sense of it.

Veteran Iditarod musher Aaron Burmeister talked to Alaska Public Media's Jeff Chen at the Nome radio station, KNOM, roughly a day after Burmeister finished his 21st Iditarod. Burmeister talks about stepping away from the Iditarod, about how his race went this year, and how much dog mushing has changed over the many years he's been a competitive musher.

In this hour-long interview, we hear more from 2022 Iditarod champion Brent Sass about how he's forged a unique bond with his dog team, how he draws inspiration from his idols like Susan Butcher, and how his life in his remote homestead has made him the musher he is. Alaska Public Media's Lex Treinen sat down with Sass, along with a group of other reporters, and Sass's dad Mark at the Nome Nugget newspaper in downtown Nome.

Since the Iditapod left off, after Brent Sass's epic first Iditarod victory, teams have continued to arrive in Nome, including a fun race for 3rd and 4th place, two Yukon-Kuskokwim mushers in 5th and 6th, an impressive 7th place finish for a second-year musher and a Nome local coming home to finish in 8th before stepping away. We're also going to step away, but not before we answer another listener question and bring you one last Dog of the Day.

Iditapod goes on a deep dive talking about "old school" Eureka musher Brent Sass, who won his first Iditarod championship early Tuesday in Nome. That was despite howling wind that almost caused him to stop in the final miles, with five-time champ Dallas Seavey still in pursuit, just about an hour behind. We'll take you to the finish line, plus Sass's Golden Harness dogs Slater and Morello are the subject of our listener question AND the Dog(s) of the Day.

The 1,000-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race has a new champion, as you'll hear in this morning Iditarod report from Alaska Public Media. Dog musher Brent Sass and his team of 11 dogs pulled into Nome early Tuesday, passing under the famed Burled Arch finish line just before 5:40 a.m. to win the 50th running of the Iditarod. The 42-year-old Sass and his Alaskan huskies arrived to throngs of cheering race fans lining the finish chute on Front Street for the first time since before the coronavirus pandemic hit two years ago.

The Iditarod - and Iditapod - are heading into the Nome stretch, as Eureka's Brent Sass has maintained his lead, aiming for his first win with five-time champ Dallas Seavey still on his tail. We'll have more about the race at the front, as well as more about musher mistakes, how things are going for the top rookie - Hanna Lyrek - and the speedy team of Dan Kaduce. Plus… more pizza? Yep, and another peppy dog of the day, a listener question and an answer from the trail.

Alaska Public Media's Lex Treinen caught up - just in the nick of time - with Brent Sass, who mushed into White Mountain and a mandatory eight-hour rest in the lead, in a great position to win his first Iditarod.

In this extended interview from before the 2022 Iditarod, 22-year-old Norwegian musher Hanna Lyrek told Alaska Public Media's Lex Treinen about competing in Norway's biggest sled dog race, the Finnmarksløpet, how she got her dog team to Alaska, her goals for the Iditarod and... about her dogs, of course! (We also have a story posted right now at alaskapublic.org about Lyrek's experience so far in the Iditarod).

Well, we've got a race, folks. Obviously, with 45 mushers out on the Iditarod Trail vying for positions, we've got a race. But at the very front, it's looking like a real battle setting up between Brent Sass and Dallas Seavey for first place. As the frontrunners head for the Bering Sea coast, we'll have a look at the teams reaching the Yukon River, we'll talk about a pretty big scratch, women mushers, a bit about superstition, and of course we have a dog profile and a listener question.

With the northern lights dancing above, we talked to Iditarod leader Brent Sass as he danced through the Ruby checkpoint and onto the Yukon River, skipping a gourmet five-course meal in favor of more comfortable cold temperatures for his dogs. We'll also hear more from Sass and his fellow competitors on their 24-hour layover earlier, and from the back of the pack, a trio of women, who banded together in a snow storm. Plus we have a dog profile and THREE listeners asking the same question, with an answer straight from the musher in question and a separate listener... answer?

Iditarod mushers and their dog teams are now either in the middle of their mandatory 24-hour layovers or back out on the trail, if they opted to do that earlier. We've got the frontrunners at the Cripple checkpoint, as well as a chat with the folks who 24ed in McGrath, now making up the chase pack. There's also an old-timer for our Dog of the Day, a couple listener questions about how to get into dog mushing and, related, what it means to be a handler.

Kaktovik dog musher Apayauq Reitan, the first out trans woman to compete in the Iditarod, talks to Iditapod colleague and Alaska Public Media contributor Shady Grove Oliver - originally for a piece in the Guardian newspaper - about Reitan's goals for this year's race, what it's like to mush dogs, her Alaska Native culture, coming out as trans and a lot more.

Our Iditapod crew gets caught up - to get you caught up - as sled dog teams in the 2022 Iditarod race through the third full day of mushing the 1,000-mile trail. We'll hear about some of the most technically difficult sections and get an update on who is where... for now. We'll also hear from mushers Aaron Burmeister and Apayauq Reitan, among others, and we also have a bully of a Dog of the Day and a listener question about how to find the trail (because sometimes it's not so obvious).

The Iditarod dog mushing race is often called “The Last Great Race,” and Dallas Seavey is one of the big names in that great race. The son of a 3-time winner, he has endured and triumphed on his own, and is currently tied for the most wins at 5. This year he is set to smash the record and claim a 6th win. In this episode we talk about his upbringing, a change in his life plans, and how he continually moves forward, no matter the setbacks. We also have an amazing discussion about leadership - and how in the darkest moments, leaders give selflessly to carry their teams through. Dallas has also won Norway's Finnmarkslopet and has been featured on the NatGeoTV's Ultimate Survival Alaska.

The harsh conditions include: jagged mountain ranges, thick forest, barren tundra and miles of windswept coast, add in the frigid temperatures and some whiteout conditions and you have an extreme challenge that has been dubbed The Last Great Race. Catskill, New York native Ken Hamm attempted this feat in 1983 at the age of 32. He says his move to Alaska is what sparked his interest in the sport. This year's race begins at 10 a.m. on Saturday March 2, 2019.
