Iditablog.com – Iditarod 2010 News and Coverage

In the first official podcast for the Iditarod 2010 Season, we break in the new “studio” setup and it has a noticeable impact  on the dynamic of our show – we have a lot of fun and have some great conversations about what’s going on in the mushing world leading up to the start of the Iditarod this next weekend.  We also cover:

• Yukon Quest and other race recap
• “Who Will Win?” Contest
• The Checkpoint Guessing Game
• Mushing Vocabulary Word of the Day
• What’s going on with all these retirements?
• Iditarod Schedule this week
• Our plans for  Iditablog Coverage of the race start?
• Lots more!

Thanks SO much to all those who tuned in for the live webcast, we’re excited to grow that interaction in the days to come.  Sorry to everyone about the audio levels in the podcast and on the live stream, there were a few kinks in the new system that we’ll have worked out before we broadcast next time.
