Onward and Other Directions Podcast

In 2021, Will and his team of 14 dogs Annie, Aurora, Belle, Cassidy, Emmy, Furiosa, Marnie, Nala, Ophelia, Rebel, Rey, Rogue, Sundance, and Zenny embarked on their first ever Iditarod. Along the way, Will recorded thoughts, dreams, tangents, and the joyful barking of a dog team chasing a raven (this happened a few times). Each week, join the team on another leg of the 850 mile race, as they work their way not only through the Alaskan wilderness, but through the muggy wilderness of a lonely, human, ADHD mind. Onward!
