Mornings at the Cabin

AJ got the boot into the amber mountains of Yellowknife yesterday. 14-day self isolation. And it's already taken a toll.

Amidst everything going on around us, the online conversation that heated our phones most at Cabin Radio with furious facebook notifications: is it MACA or Maca? WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON???

AJ, in an act of equal parts boredom and curiosity, re-downloaded Tinder last night...and you'll NEVER BELIEVE what he discovered... I know, don't you hate those crappy clickbait, hooky descriptors?? Yeah, us too...anyway, enjoy the episode!

BREAKING NEWS: OLLIE WENT OUTSIDE THIS WEEKEND. The rest of this episode pales in comparison, if we're being honest.

Ollie's isolation period is officially over. But the catacombs out of Yellowknife's Amber Mountains are long, winding and laborious. So he'll probably stay put. At least for now.

Folk on the Rock Executive Director, Carly Bradley joins Wheeler, AJ and Lekter to announce the third and final wave of artists for FOTR's 40th anniversary this July!

This is the first April Fools Day that we can recall where you probably don't have to worry about any of the news you read being fake. At least, as a fun joke, anyway.

The Bad: The Covid-19 pandemic continues. The Good: It's the 35th anniversary of the launch of Super Mario Brothers! The Bad: The state of Nevada has painted parking stalls on the ground for homeless people to sleep in while staying physically distant.

Shout out to all the teachers who were looking forward to getting back to doing what they love after a much needed break today...until that break became indefinite :( Also, Tiger King. You knew it would come up eventually.

Yesterday, had it not been for the Covid-19 pandemic, would've been the day Wheeler had been dreading for MONTHS. Ironically, because of comedy.

Free from the shackles of his self(?)-isolation period, Wheeler makes his return to the Cabin! And he's got a lot of problems with you people!

We're missing Wednesday night trivia a the Yellowknife Elks...and we know YOU are missing hearing us pit Wheeler and Ollie against one-another for your amusement...so here it is!

Last week, we demonstrated how Neil Diamond's classic "Sweet Caroline" was a troublesome song to be playing on the radio in the Covid-19 era. Well, Neil got the memo. And Neil has made things right.

Wheeler is self-isolating. Ollie is still in isolation. Lekter is alone at the Cabin. AJ slept in.

Pay no attention to the title. Lekter's brain got caught in some kind of cosmic loop. He'll be ok. Probably.

The second wave of artist announcements happened this morning! FOTR's Mel Leonard joins Wheeler and Lekter to reveal the newest announcements for what is already a strong lineup for Folk on the Rocks' 40th anniversary!

Wheeler and Lekter discuss a few regular Cabin Radio playlist songs that should perhaps be shelved a bit in the age of COVID-19. Also, special guest Taylor from the Legendary PIT! joins us on the phone to chat about their upcoming EP release plans, and we get an update from our very own quarantined Cabineer, Ollie Williams!

Ollie took to Facebook Live yesterday evening to update the Territory on all that he has gathered regarding COVID-19, keeping us informed while also putting our minds at ease....until the Ollie outage.

Ollie returned to the country late last week, and decided that the responsible thing to do would be self-isolation for the time being. Wheeler and Lekter check in with him to get a taste (poor choice of words) of his experience getting tested for COVID-19...as well as his current TV watch list!

Yellowknifer Logan Andrew made the north and his "Mullet Mafia" proud by finally taking the leap last month down to Australia for Mulletfest. Yeah, apparently that's a real thing.

Wheeler and AJ discuss reasons and explore peculiar metaphors to explain why daylight savings time can GET THE HELL OUT. Plus, a live-in-studio visit and performance by Flora & the Fireweeds AND the premiere of the Legendary PIT's, "Pray Devil"

Lekter enlists the help of a good friend of the Cabin...to deliver some potentially crushing news to Wheeler. Also Coronavirus is ruining everything, gosh darn it!

Clams 'n Moose took over Mornings at the Cabin in honour of International Women's Day! Hear them talk about some of the most inspiring women in their lives, and chat with a few special guests!

Cabin Radio is two years old today! And at least twice as busy as we were in 2018...so like a group of absent fathers who work too much, nothing got planned for our baby. LUCKILY our friends at Folk on the Rocks lined up a HUGE announcement for us this morning - the first lineup announcements for their 40th anniversary show this summer!

Lekter filled in admirably and faithfully yesterday afternoon for Ollie in the on-going Wheeler vs. Ollie Skills Canada competitions...faithfully in that he did about as well as one would expect Ollie to have done...admirably in that he showed up and completed the task at hand.
