A podcast about ATAO’s first Iditarod
As I prepared for my first ever Iditarod, I thought that one of the best ways I could remember the journey– and share it with you too– would be to record it. Trusty iPhone in hand, I did my best to take audio on every run of the journey. Some of it is meandering. Some of it is sweet. Some of it is maybe a little exciting. Some of it is nonsense. If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to run the Iditarod, this might give you a glimpse.
