Klondike Gold Rush History Podcast

About Klondike Gold Rush History Podcast

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.

   22. The Rush Out

   Just like no one can agree on exactly how the Klondike Gold Rush started, how and when the stampede ended is also the topic of fierce dispute. We wrap up the podcast with a look at this debate, clean up a few errors we made along the way, and let you know what happened to our favourite ... and not so favourite ... characters after they left the Yukon.

   21. Hollywood and the Klondike

   What do Harrison Ford, Charlie Chaplin and Bugs Bunny have in common? They've all starred in films about the Klondike Gold Rush. Join us as we turn the camera on Hollywood and its classic ... and sometimes not so classic ... portrayals of the Gold Rush.

   20. Sam Steele and the North-West Mounted Police

   The Mountie is one of the iconic images of the Klondike Gold Rush, whether in red serge in Dawson or behind a dogsled on a rugged Yukon patrol. We'll talk about the feats that made the reputation of the North-West Mounted Police in the Yukon, and their complicated relationship with First Nations. And we'll get to know Sam Steele, who some call the quintessential Canadian man of action in the Victorian era.
