The Underdogs, Ep 2: 'It has to be earned'

Nate Hegyi

A few months ago, Outside/In host Nate Hegyi got a tip from the highest levels of the dog sledding community. It was about the first team from New Zealand to complete the Iditarod, a 1,000-mile race across some of Alaska’s harshest terrain – an icy tale of burned bridges, destroyed friendships, and unpaid debts.

Episode 2: It has to be earned
Nate flies to Minnesota to follow a new lead about the New Zealand racing team.

Featuring: Jamie Nelson, Jodi Bailey, Mike Williams Sr., and Amanda Hasenauer.
