The S.S. Excelsior docks in San Francisco carrying a bunch of Klondike miners and an eye-popping load of gold. Mix in an economic depression and some inspired newspaper headlines, and it's enough to spark collective madness.

5. The news ... and a ton of gold ... arrive Outside

A new podcast aiming to bring you the epic stories of the Klondike Gold Rush in an easy-to-listen narrative over about 25 episodes. That's about as much time as it takes to travel the Trail of 1898 from Dyea to Dawson, in your podcast equipped car not by mule, boat or dogsled of course! This podcast is a labour of love by two Yukoners with a passion for local history. Pascale Halliday and Keith Halliday do most of the narrating, with guest appearances by other Yukoners and Alaskans.
