Summary
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.
This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 05:18 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report)
