Been listening for 8 years and still love it!

I first found this podcast years ago when Iditarod was a great event to keep my excited through the dark winters. Now I do a little bit of mushing myself and I still love to listen! I appreciate the long format and conversational style of the pod and I love getting to hear little tidbits of Robert, Toni, and Michelle’s lives too. If you’re looking for a snappy, fast-paced, soundbyte-kind of show, this probably isn’t the show for you. But if you want to hear about the community and lifestyle of mushing, I 100% recommend this podcast!

Great podcast for non-mushers, too

I’m a city kid from the West Coast who ended up in the Midwest as an adult. Never mushed, but the 2008 Frontline documentary on the Iditarod hooked me on following long distance sled dog racing. I love the athleticism of both drivers and dogs, the quasi-international vibe of the sport, and the fact that winning depends on a multilayer cake of skill, training, experience, health, trail conditions, and weather! It’s incredible. Mushing Radio gives us a window into the culture of dog sledding, tell stories about past and current mushers of every experience level, highlight the dogs, and answer any question. It is one of the best resources from which I learn so much.

So glad I found this podcast. Love the Iditarod focus and have learned a lot listening to these guys. Thank you to Toni, Robert and Michele for keeping it real and making it fun, too.
