Questionable motives, an early American media frenzy, and Governor Bone… Oh lawd, it's about to get pretty dark! Returning from an unexpected hiatus, these ‘90s kids are eager to get back in your ears recounting the true-life tale that served as inspiration behind Balto, the heroic 1925 Serum Run of Nome. Prepare your warmest blankets as they begin to sled (ha!) light on how the Hollywood version came to be, and regale you with every bit of outbreak, heartbreak, triumph, and controversy contained in the Great Race of Mercy.
