If you’ve ever chased a wild dream—or wondered if you had the grit to—this episode of the Halfway Feral Podcast will speak to your soul. We’re joined by Bridgett Watkins: proud Alaskan, Iditarod finisher, mom, nurse, and now the author of Marker to Marker, a powerful memoir about racing 1,000 miles across the Alaskan wilderness.
