  • Great Interview with Dallas Seavey

    Olivia and Cailee did a fantastic job with this interview. The questions were interesting and gave Dallas a chance to talk about some important aspects of mushing, the bond between humans and working dogs, and the dedicated work of all the human team that support the dogs. And more topics as well. Definitely worth listening to and I learned a lot. I am going to check out the other podcasts, too! Thanks Olivia, Cailee, and Dallas!

  • Keep ‘em Coming!

    I love the Husky Talk podcast! I really enjoy the variety of people that you interview. It’s always fun to hear the big name mushers, but I’m also really enjoying the interviews of employees and volunteers who work behind the scenes. The students do an excellent job. You can tell they’ve “done their homework” and are prepared for each interview. As a 5th grade teacher, I can guess how much time it takes to put out this podcast - year after year. Thank you!

  • A Fun and Educational Listen

    I just started listening to these podcasts recently, and the interviews have kept me good company as I’m out walking our dogs. The students are well-organized and stay on point. The mushers are knowledgeable and very genuine while answering questions. I especially like that the students don’t interrupt; instead, they let the speaker continue until he/she has thoroughly explained the answers. This helps listeners tremendously because it gives us time to process the information and learn. It’s als... more

  • very interesting!

    students do a great job and arrange some amazing guests! inspired for the future hearing these journalists of tomorrow!
