A fascinating peek into the world of mushing

This is another strong feature from the Alaska Teen Media Institute. Ishmael uses an interview with musher Seiji Takagi to thoroughly explore this fascinating and little-known sport. Ishmael steps back and lets Seiji's story speak for itself, with background noise provided by the dogs from time to time. The anecdote about Seiji's brother's finish in the junior Iditarod really adds color to the piece. We also get to hear from Seiji's mom briefly, which is a nice touch.
