Balto & The 1925 Serum Relay

Olympia Oddities

In today's episode we cover the insanely courageous dogs & mushers who delivered a diphtheria antitoxin to Nome in 1925. We cover the most famous dog, Balto, but also others like Fox and Togo, who played just as much part in helping save the entire community. Ft. comic sans, me accidentally saying Rome a few times, crying about how we don't deserve dogs at all, and this being one of the most unexpectedly brutal episodes we've done.
