Episode 2: Talk Derby to Me

This blog and podcast by Fish Alaska magazine spins off from the article in the April 2026 issue about a woman named Meadow Riedel from Fairbanks who was diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer, beat it and lives to remind others to get their mammograms and perform self checks. Meadow and her dear friends formed the Talk Derby to Me posse and spread their joy for life at the Valdez Women's Silver Salmon Derby. Catch the blog and article by Melissa Norris and listen in as Melissa, Meadow and Laurie Prax from the Valdez Fish Derbies volunteer committee talk about the Women's Derby, Meadow's experience and this year's event.
