Start Line of the Yukon Quest with Reporter Molly Rettig

Dog teams are lining out and mushers are getting their game faces on to start their 1000-mile race from Fairbanks to Whitehorse in the 2016 Yukon Quest Sled Dog Race. KUAC's Lori Neufeld interviewed Reporter Molly Rettig while dogs excitedly yipped and howled in the background.

Lori’s love for public broadcasting runs deep. She was raised on Car Talk, Morning Edition, Adventures in Good Music with Karl Haas, and later while studying wildlife biology at Bethel College in North Newton, Kansas, she realized that if she helped answer phones during the fund drive at KMUW, she could meet and chat with the hosts of locally produced shows.
