In our final podcast of the 2009 Iditarod Season (we’ll continue blogging for another week or so) we talk about the top 20 Iditarod finishers, talk about “next year” and review the news.
Thanks to all the thousands of you who have downloaded the podcasts this season. You’ve blown us away – your support is appreciated.
Today we speak with Damon from the Bering Straight School District, live! in Nome as he and the Student Broadcasting team prepare for a finish tomorrow sometime. We also recap the harsh weather conditions that mushers currently find themselves in, along with the strategies that come along with the new challenges.
Today we continue talking about the mushers 24-hour layover strategy, knowing that the race will look very different in just a few hours as the leaders emerge from their rests. We talk more about the loss in Jeff Holt’s team the other day, as well as the current scratched mushers.

In today’s podcast we look back at the trail coming up to Nikolai and discuss the wide and large field of mushers going into this latest checkpoint. We also see whats going on at the BSSD Forums before previewing the next few legs of the race.
In a “post re-start” podcast we take a look at the field of mushers in this year’s Iditarod – who has a chance at the top ten and twenty? We re-visit the BSSD Forum and talk about the innovations of Jeff King, and get a newcomer’s reaction to the GPS trackers used on Iditarod.com.
