A new podcast aiming to bring you the epic stories of the Klondike Gold Rush in an easy-to-listen narrative over about 25 episodes. That's about as much time as it takes to travel the Trail of 1898 from Dyea to Dawson, in your podcast equipped car not by mule, boat or dogsled of course! This podcast is a labour of love by two Yukoners with a passion for local history. Pascale Halliday and Keith Halliday do most of the narrating, with guest appearances by other Yukoners and Alaskans.

The gold rush is at its peak. Just a year ago, Dawson was a moose pasture with a few cabins. Now it has dance halls, Parisian fashions, electricity, running water and a restaurant where you could eat pâté de foie gras while listening to a string orchestra. And it has stories, tons of stories. Some true, some not so much. We'll share some of them wh…

Soapy Smith is one of the gold rush's most notorious names, even though he never made it to the Klondike. He found his gold in the pockets of other men. After Frank Reid shot him in Alaska's most famous shoot out, a Seattle newspaper remarked that he remained "the most popular man in Alaska."저자 Keith Halliday Pascale Halliday

Time for the final push from Sheep Camp to the Summit. You stand at the Scales looking up at what looks like an impassable wall of grey rock, until you see a long line of Stampeders ahead of you moving slowly up the mountain. You can't turn back now, so you shoulder your pack, and try to put the Chilkoot Trail below and behind you.…

Ships full of goldseekers anchor off Skagway, Alaska. There's no dock and it's chaos on the beach.
