About Me

My name is Asher Wertheimer. I'm a trained journalist with a passion for the environment. One of my fundamental beliefs is that most problems arise out of ignorance. Ignorance of others' beliefs, ignorance of what life is really like in a different place, ignorance of the world beyond our doorsteps.

​

I try to combat my own ignorance by smashing through barriers and discarding comfort zones.

This podcast is meant to offer an in-depth look at my latest journey to Pasvik Folk School to learn dog mushing.
