Every weekday, we recommend a podcast related to a movie or TV show you can watch at home: In 1925, a deadly diphtheria outbreak gripped the town of Nome, Alaska. Togo, a 12-year old Siberian Husky, was chosen to run a 674-mile relay to transport a vital case of medicine across the Alaskan interior. He’d find help in the form of an unremarkable 6-year old Husky named Balto. For more episodes like this one, subscribe to Dog Tales on Spotify. Also, check out the 1995 film Balto, and the 2019 film Togo—which are now available to stream!
