Hi everyone, Lale here. This week, as the weather starts to turn, we thought we'd give you a reason to look forward to the cold by resharing an episode with dog musher Blair Braverman.

It was recorded shortly after she completed the Iditarod, a 938-mile-long-distance dog sled race, which took her and her team of 14 dogs from Anchorage to Gnome, Alaska.

We hope it at least inspires you to get

your sweaters out of storage. Before we get into the episode, though, we wanted to take a second to

remind our American listeners to make a voting plan. Whether you're able to vote early, submit your

absentee ballot at a voting site, or go to the polls on November 3rd, it is incredibly important

that we each do

our civic duty. Lally and I urge you to vote for candidates who believe that Black Lives Matter

and that climate change is real and that women have the right to choose what's best for their

own bodies and that health care should be accessible to all. You can find more information

about your local election and your correct polling place at vote.org.
