Hey, it's Pablo. Hope you are decompressing, however slowly from your Christmas feasts.

One thing we want to let you know before we get started here, we just made a playlist

of our favorite episodes from 2020 to 2022. And we think you probably will enjoy some

stuff on there that you may have missed because we make a zillion episodes. So check it out,

send it to your friends maybe. We'd appreciate that because these are episodes that will hold up

even now in the present tense as we embark on the New Year. And you can find that link

to that playlist in our show notes. But this week we're going to be running some selections

from the past year. And the one we want to play for you today is a show we aired back

in March about the I did a rod dog sled race. It's with Liz Merrill and she tells us about

a mousher that she spent time with who survived a moose attack. So it is Monday, December 26th.

This is the SPN Daily.

Liz Merrill, the I did a rod started on March 5th. That is the most famous dog sled race

in the entire world. You spent time with a woman who's competing in it for the very first

time. And Liz, I'm from New York City. So this entire thing has mostly just existed in

my imagination and in the movies I've seen. And in those movies, I recall, you know, this

team of furry dogs with pointy ears like bounding through snow. I can hear the human behind

them yelling mush. I feel the cold. But you actually experienced this like up close

in personal, right? I mean, you got to know what it's actually like to do this.

Yeah, I didn't go on this sled because I probably would have had to sign a waiver and

done some kind of fitness tests that I probably would have flunked. But yes, so they were

going on a long run that day, a training run. And it was one of the last ones before the

I did a rod and I followed with the dog trainer on a snowmobile. So we were in front of them.
